Heated back pressure regulator – Features

The heated back pressure regulator assembly is a unique manifold for maintaining an elevated temperature through to the point of collection. Some reactions suffer from precipitation as the reaction temperature reduces. This is often an issue in flow reactors where tubing leaves the “hot” zone of the reactor and fluid  that is travelling through cools down and precipitates. Most flow reactions require back pressure to allow elevated reactor temperatures without boiling the solvent and to keep gas formed in the reaction in solution.
