The Parr Series 5000 Multiple Reactor System has been designed to provide an integrated system for running multiple reactions simultaneously and applying the principles of high throughput experimentation to reactions conducted at elevated temperatures and pressures.

The principle features of the new instrument include:
• Six reactors with internal stirring.
• Operating pressures to 3000 psi.
• Operating temperatures to 300 °C.
• Individual temperature control.
• Continuous individual pressure monitoring.
• Computer control and data logging
• Manifold system for rapid turn around and to allow two different input gases.
• Volumes and reactor geometry designed for three phase reactions.
• Flexible Control Software.

Stirred Batch Reaction Vessel
This multiple reaction system has been designed around a vessel with 75 mL total volume. This will accommodate between 15 and 40 mL of liquid reactants which is close to the minimum volume appropriate for heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

The vessel valves and accessories are designed for maximum operating pressures up to 3000 psi at operating temperatures up to 300 °C. A system with 45 mL vessels is also available.

Stirring System
All six vessels are stirred with a single magnetic stirrer system specifically designed and built for this application. The magnetic drives and fields are focused on the stirrer bars within each vessel. High strength compact magnets are used to provide coupling forces which will operate through the heaters and vessels. The stirring speed of the stirrer bar is variable from 0-1200 rpm. All vessels will have the same stirring speed during a single run of the apparatus. This arrangement ensures that the difference in reaction rates between vessels run in parallel are due to set conditions other than variations in stirrer speed.

Heaters
The external heaters surround the vessel walls for rapid and uniform heating and temperature control. Each vessel is individually temperature controlled. The 250-watt heater used on each vessel produce heating rates up to 15 °C per minute.
