Description

APPARATUS FOR LOW TEMPERTURE REACTION PROCESS
Introduction
The invention relates to a laboratory scale apparatus for carrying out low temperature reactions.
Some reactions require very low temperatures in order to proceed and proceed efficiently. The slightest fluctuations in temperature can have an adverse effect on the reaction yield or quality and/or slow the reaction time significantly. A limited amount of very low temperature laboratory equipment is available for operating as low as minus 1000C however what is available is complex and expensive and relies on difficult refrigerated cooling of viscous fluids that require continuous pumped circulation. There remains a need for a simple, efficient, cost effective, reliable and flexible system for carrying out routine low temperature reactions.
The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a simple apparatus or device capable of providing a stable very low temperature environment over a sustainable period of time for carrying out low temperature reactions with the flexibility to heat and cool at varying rates with a high degree of precision and avoiding the use of electrical refrigeration.
Statements of Invention
According to the invention there is provided an apparatus for carrying out very low temperature chemical reactions comprising:-
an insulated pressure container for both liquid and gaseous coolant;
a heater for vaporising the liquid coolant; a gaseous coolant outlet from the container;
an in-line heater for heating the gaseous coolant, the heater having a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet;
a conduit leading from the container outlet to the heater inlet;
a vacuum jacketed reaction vessel for carrying out a low temperature reaction;
a contact heat exchanger for directly heating or cooling the contents of the reaction vessel;
the heat exchanger having an inlet connected to the outlet of the in-line heater;
the heat exchanger having an outlet connected to an atmospheric vent;
a temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature of the contents of the reaction vessel; and
control means for receiving a signal from the temperature sensor and connected to the in-line heater for controlling the operation of the heater dependent on the temperature of the reaction vessel and the preset requirements.
In one embodiment of the invention the heat exchanger is a metal coil extending into the reaction vessel.
In another embodiment the contact heat exchanger is an insulated jacket surrounding the contents of the reaction vessel. Preferably the contents of the reaction vessel are held and controlled at a temperature of between minus 12O0C and plus 5O0C. Preferably the contents of the reaction vessel are held at a set temperature of less than minus 8O0C.
Preferably the contents of the reaction vessel can be cooled or heated at a preset rate.
Preferably the control means maintains the contents of the reaction vessel at plus or minus I0C of the preset point.
In one embodiment of the invention the conduit is vacuum insulated. Preferably the conduit is of flexible material.
Most preferably the reaction vessel has a vacuum insulated jacket.
In one embodiment of the invention the apparatus includes a pump means for delivering coolant from the container to the in-line heater.
Preferably the pump means is an evaporator for converting the liquid coolant in the container to gaseous coolant thus allowing delivery of the coolant from the container to the in-line heater.
Most preferably the insulated pressure coolant container maintains the temperature of the coolant at less than minus 196°C.
Preferably the coolant is liquid nitrogen.
In a further embodiment the operation of the pump is controlled by a control means. Brief Description of the Drawings
The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:-
Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of an apparatus for carrying out low temperature chemical reactions according to the invention;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the front of the apparatus of Fig. 1 ;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an in-line heater of the apparatus according to the invention; and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a coolant container fittings of the apparatus of the invention.
Detailed Description
Referring to Fig. 1 there is illustrated a schematic representation of a laboratory scale low temperature apparatus 1 according to the invention for carrying out laboratory scale low temperature chemical reactions comprising an insulated pressure container 2 for a coolant, in this case liquid nitrogen at less than minus 196°C, and a reaction vessel 3 in the form of a silvered, vacuum jacketed borosilicate glass vessel in which low temperature reactions are carried out.
An outlet 5 from the coolant container 2 is connected by a conduit 6 to an inlet 7 of an in-line heater 8 in which the gaseous coolant is heated. The in-line heater 8 has a vacuum insulated block 9 and an outlet 10 which is connected by a flexible connector 11 to a contact heat exchanger 12, in this case in the form of a spiral coil, which extends into the reaction vessel 3 to cool the contents of the reaction vessel 3. The heat exchanger may also be an insulated jacket surrounding the contents of the reaction vessel 3. The coolant leaves the heat exchanger 12 through an outlet 13.
The conduit 6 is vacuum insulated and is of flexible material. The in-line heater 8 housing is also vacuum insulated. A vacuum is drawn on the conduit 6 by means of a vacuum pump 15.
Pump means for delivery of coolant gas from the coolant container 2 to the in-line heater 8 comprises an evaporator 20 in the coolant container 2 which imparts heat energy to the liquid nitrogen to induce gas formation and flow. The evaporator 20 is controlled by an independent controller 21.
A temperature sensor 25 extends into the reaction vessel 3 to monitor the temperature of the reaction mixture in the vessel 3. The sensor 25 produces a signal which is carried along a signal line 26 to a control means 30. The control means 30 is also connected to the in-line heater 8.
The temperature of the contents of the reaction vessel 3 is monitored by the control means 30 which has a set-point inputted by a key pad 35. The in-line heater 8 is controlled by the controller 30 to adjust heat transfer parameters to enhance and maintain the target temperature in the reaction vessel 3. The controller 30 is connected to a computer 50 at which reaction conditions may be monitored and controlled.
Figs. 2 to 4 illustrate the apparatus 1 of the invention for carrying out low temperature laboratory scale chemical reactions. The apparatus 1 may be easily moved as the coolant container 2 is set in a protection frame 41 fitted on castors and the reaction vessel 3 is attached to frame 40 which can be easily dismantled and reconstructed.
The coolant container 2 is fitted with pressure gauge 42, pressure relief device 43, and a liquid nitrogen fill point 44 fitted with a valve 45. The heater unit is held in position by clamps 46. The reaction vessel 3 has a vacuum insulated removable lid 47 which has entry points 48 that allow for charging of materials and attachment of equipment such as a stirring device 49 and a liquid dropping funnel 50.
The apparatus 1 is capable of cooling a reaction mixture to a temperature of minus
90°C in less than 1 hour, maintaining the temperature at plus or minus I0C from the set point and returning to room temperature in less than 2 hours at a predetermined cooling or heating rate. This is very advantageous for reactions where low temperatures are required for some steps while other steps require warmer temperatures in order to proceed efficiently and where temperature precision is essential.
The temperature of the gas in the low temperature coolant container 2 is approximately minus 185°C. Before entering the internal coil 12 of the reaction vessel 3 and after passing through the in-line heater 8 the temperature of the gas is approximately minus
165 to plus 2000C, depending on the heating/cooling requirements.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in detail.
