Case Study: PRESTO A45t Process system

Cooling a Chemglas 10 l reactor from +20 °C to lowest possible temperature with a PRESTO A45t Process system

Objective

This case study tests the lowest temperature of the JULABO PRESTO A45t Process system with a 10 l glass reactor. The PRESTO A45t is connected to the reactor via two in. metal hoses. The PRESTO A45t Process system cools from +20 °C to -39.05 °C maximum low temperature.
