Carbon Steel Reactor

A reactor is a core pressure‑tight closed vessel that realizes material mixing, heat transfer, mass transfer and chemical reactions in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, new materials and other industries. Its basic working principle is to achieve sufficient mixing of materials through the stirring system in a closed kettle body, equipped with heat exchange structures such as jackets and internal coils, and realize precise temperature control through electric heating, hot water, heat conduction oil, steam or cooling media. Under the conditions of set temperature, pressure and rotating speed, it completes vulcanization, nitration, hydrogenation, polymerization, condensation, extraction and other processes, providing a reliable reaction environment for continuous and stable production Reference: Baidu Encyclopedia - Reactor Working Principle. As a comprehensive chemical equipment source factory integrating R&D, design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and general contracting, AIX Boiler focuses on the R&D and manufacturing of carbon steel reactors, carbon steel composite reactors and non‑standard reactors. We strictly follow the standards of Standardization Administration of China and HG/T 20581 Specification for Material Selection of Steel Chemical Vessels, and implement full‑process quality control from raw material procurement, welding forming, heat treatment, pressure test to surface anti‑corrosion treatment, providing cost‑effective, long‑life and high‑safety reactor equipment and overall solutions for users worldwide.

1. Overview of AIX Boiler Carbon Steel Reactor

AIX Boiler carbon steel reactor is made of high‑quality carbon structural steel and carbon steel composite anti‑corrosion materials, suitable for atmospheric pressure, low pressure and medium pressure working conditions. It has the advantages of high structural strength, good thermal conductivity, excellent processing formability, economic cost and convenient maintenance. For corrosive medium scenarios, we launch carbon steel composite reactors, which are formed by compounding HLFF anti‑corrosion composite materials with carbon steel matrix, taking into account structural strength and corrosion resistance. It can withstand most non‑oxidizing acid, alkali and salt media such as dilute sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, ammonium salt, sodium salt and potassium salt. It is widely used in petroleum, chemical, rubber, pesticide, dye, pharmaceutical, food, water purifier and other fields, meeting the needs of hydrogenation, alkylation, polymerization, condensation, neutralization, batching, dissolution, extraction and other processes. As a source factory, AIX Boiler supports non‑standard customization according to users' process parameters, including volume, pressure, temperature, stirring form, heating/cooling method, opening layout, sealing structure, support form, automatic control and other all‑round customization, truly realizing one kettle for one process and one kettle for one scheme.

2. Core Structure and Working System

AIX Boiler carbon steel reactor is composed of kettle body, kettle cover, jacket, stirrer, transmission device, shaft sealing device, support, heat exchange system, safety accessories and other components. Each system cooperates to ensure stable and efficient reaction:

• Kettle Body and Kettle Cover: Adopt high‑quality carbon steel plate rolled and welded, the head adopts elliptical or hemispherical structure, uniform pressure bearing and reasonable stress distribution. The welding process implements pressure vessel standards, and 100% non‑destructive testing is carried out to ensure no leakage;

• Jacket/Heat Exchange System: External wall jacket or built‑in coil structure, heating methods support electric heating, hot water heating, steam heating, heat conduction oil heating, far infrared heating; cooling adopts jacket cooling or internal coil cooling, sufficient heat exchange area and fast temperature control response;

• Stirring System: Anchor type, paddle type, turbine type, propulsion type, frame type and other forms, multi‑layer stirring blades can be equipped when the height‑diameter ratio is large, uniform stirring without dead angle, high mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency; gear reducer is preferred for rotating speed >160r/min, stable operation, low noise and long service life;

• Shaft Sealing Device: Adopt packing seal or mechanical seal, reliable sealing and no leakage, meeting explosion‑proof, environmental protection and sanitary requirements;

• Support Structure: Support type or ear type support, stable installation and reasonable stress, suitable for various installation scenarios such as floor, platform and frame;

• Opening Customization: Feed inlet, discharge outlet, temperature measuring port, pressure measuring port, manhole, sight glass, spare port, etc. can be set according to process requirements, with flexible specification, quantity and position customization.
