Several cooling methods are utilized in catalysis, including:
Jacketed Reactors: These reactors have an external jacket through which a cooling fluid circulates, removing excess heat from the reaction mixture. Heat Exchangers: Efficiently transfer heat between two fluids, commonly used to cool down reaction mixtures before they proceed to the next stage. Quenching: Rapidly cooling the reaction mixture by adding a cold fluid, effectively stopping the reaction and dissipating the heat. Cooling Coils: Immersed in the reaction mixture, these coils allow a cooling fluid to pass through, extracting heat directly from the reaction.
