How to Choose the Right Overhead Stirrer for Catalytic Reactions?
Selecting the appropriate overhead stirrer involves considering several factors:
1. Viscosity of the Medium: For high-viscosity fluids, a high-torque stirrer is essential. 2. Volume of the Reaction Mixture: Larger volumes require more powerful stirrers to ensure effective mixing. 3. Type of Reaction: Some catalytic reactions may require specific types of impellers or blades to achieve the desired mixing. 4. Safety Requirements: In potentially hazardous environments, explosion-proof stirrers are necessary.
