Thermostatted reactors employ various methods to maintain a constant temperature. Common techniques include:
Jacketed Reactors: These reactors have an external jacket through which a heating or cooling fluid circulates, maintaining the desired temperature. Internal Cooling/Heating Coils: Coils inside the reactor provide direct heat exchange with the reaction mixture, ensuring uniform temperature distribution. Electrical Heating: Resistance heaters or induction heaters can be used for precise temperature control, especially in small-scale reactors.
