These 4660 Vessels extend the range of Parr Pressure Vessels to 1 and 2 gallon (3.75 and 7.99 liter) sizes. These vessels are available with an FKM O-ring seal for operating temperatures to 225 °C, and FFKM O-ring for temperatures to 300 °C, or with a flat, PTFE gasket for operating temperatures up to 350 °C maximum.
Both fixed head and moveable head designs are available. The moveable head vessels are designed so that they can be opened or closed conveniently without removing the cylinder from the heater and without auxiliary handling equipment. The split-ring cover clamp sections can be moved into place from the sides, and the compression bolts can be tightened with the vessel in place in its heater. The fixed head versions allow the head (and the connections made to it) to remain in place while the cylinder and heater are lowered with the aid of the included pneumatic lift system.
An optional bottom drain valve may be added for convenient product recovery. As with the smaller floor stand models, these larger, self-contained systems can be equipped with a variety of attachments, such as condensers, solids charging ports, bottom drains, special heaters, jacketed vessels and automatic valves and regulators. Because of the higher wattage heaters for these reactors, all models in this series require a 230 volt power supply.
