A Single Fluid Heat Transfer System is normally connected to a single reactor and it helps in maintaining a constant temperature difference between the reactor mass and fluid temperature, which provides precise control over heating and cooling rates. Thus, the temperature and the heating-and-cooling time are controlled as critical process parameters resulting in batch-to-batch consistency and a higher yield of the product.
Single Fluid systems can also be used for an entire plant with multiple reactors. In the case of multi-reactor plants, we offer single fluid skids with different header temperatures that are then used in conjunction with reactor automation for temperature control.
A single fluid system is most useful in very high-temperature reactions, as the reactor mass temperature needs to be brought down slowly to room temperature, after the reaction. Gradual cooling is feasible only by maintaining a constant temperature difference between the mass and the jacket, which can be precisely done with our Single Fluid System
