5000 Series Multiple Reactor System
Intended Usage
This system has been designed for use as a
high pressure multiple reactor system. It
has been designed, built, and tested to strict
physical and electrical standards. However,
it is the user's responsibility to install and
operate it in conformance with local
pressure and electrical codes.
If this equipment is used in a manner
beyond its intended usage, the protection
provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
Unpack Carefully
Unpack the equipment carefully and check
all the parts against the packing list. If
shipping damage is discovered, report it
immediately to the delivering carriers. The
vessels, heater block, stirrer and controller
may be packed separately for convenience
in shipping, but these parts are easily
reassembled. Examine the components
closely for any loose parts or shipping
damage and be sure to check all layers of
packing materials thoroughly so as not to
overlook any parts which might otherwise
be discarded.
User’s Responsibility
All Parr Reactors and Pressure Vessels are
designed and manufactured with great care
to assure safe operation when used within
their prescribed temperature and pressure
limits. But…the basic responsibility for
safety when using this equipment rests
entirely with the user; who must:
1. Select a reactor or pres sure vessel
that has the capability, pressure rating,
corrosion resistance, and design features
that are suitable for its intended use. Our
engineers will be glad to discuss available
equipment and material options with
prospective users, but the final responsibility
for selecting a reactor or pressure vessel
that will perform to the user's satisfaction in
any particular reaction or test must rest with
the user - not with Parr Instrument
Company.
In exercising the responsibility for the
selection of pressure equipment, the
prospective user is often faced with the
choice between over or under-designed
equipment. The hazards introduced by
under-designed pressure vessels are
readily apparent, but the penalties that must
be paid for over-designed apparatus are
often overlooked. Recognizing these
criteria, our reactors and pressure vessels
are offered in several different styles, each
designed for convenient use in daily
operation within certain temperature and
pressure limits, using gaskets, closures, and
other elements carefully selected for safe
operation within the limits specified for that
design. But in order to preserve the validity
of these designs, all temperature and
pressure limits must be observed, and no
attempt should be made to increase these
limits by making alterations or by
substituting components which are not
recommended by Parr Instrument
Company.
2. Install and operate the equipment
within a suitable barricade, if required, with
appropriate safety accessories and in full
compliance with local safety codes and
rules.
All standard Parr pressure vessels
are provided with either a suitable
relief device or a means to attach one
(typically in the form of a plugged
opening). When a pressure vessel is
delivered without a pressure venting
device, it is the customer’s responsibility
to provide pressure relief in order to
protect the operator and the equipment
from destructive high pressures. If you
need more information or need help
in selecting a proper relief device,
please contact Parr Instrument Company.
3. Establish training procedures to
ensure that any person handling the
equipment knows how to use it properly.
4. Maintain the equipment in good
condition and establish procedures for
periodic testing to be sure the vessel
remains structurally sound.

5000 Series Multiple Reactor System
PRESSURE AND
TEMPERATURE LIMITS
Working pressures up to 3000 psi (207
bar) maximum are permissible in these
reactors when constructed of Type 316
Stainless Steel. Contact Parr Customer
Service if your vessel is not constructed
of T316 Stainless Steel and you are
unsure of the pressure and temperature
limit. No attempt should be made to
increase these limits by making
alterations or by substituting
components which are not
recommended by Parr Instrument
Company. It must also be understood
that lower pressure and temperature
limits may be required for modified
reactors and for vessels made of
materials other than T316 Stainless
Steel. Limits for such vessels will be
determined by the physical
characteristics of the material of
construction and will be prescribed on
an individual basis.
Working temperatures up to 300 °C are
permissible in reactors with a standard
2895HCHA flat PTFE gasket. A PTFE
gasket is the recommended choice for
most applications since the PTFE is
inert to most chemicals and it will
provide good seals under repeated
opening and closing if the gasket
temperature does not exceed 300 °C.
The service life of a PTFE gasket will,
however, be reduced considerably if
used at temperatures close to the
300 °C limit.
The maximum working pressure and
temperature for any vessel is governed
by the design of the vessel and the
strength of the material from which it is
constructed. There is also a close
relationship between working pressure
and temperature since the strength of
any material will normally fall off as the
temperature is increased.
Temperature and pressure limits are
also affected by the physical properties
and temperature limits of the gaskets
and seals used in the vessel, and by
any valves, gages, or other fittings
attached to the vessel. Obviously, the
maximum safe operating pressure of
any system can be no higher than that
of its lowest rated component.
Working temperatures up to 220 °C are
permissible in reactors equipped with
fluoroelastomer (FKM) O-ring seals.
The higher the operating temperature
above 200 °C, the shorter the life of the
O-ring will be. Perfluoroeleastomer
(FFKM) O-ring seals have a broad
chemical resistance and be used to
temperatures up to 275 °C.
Unfortunately they are very expensive
and will generally be reserved for unique
applications. Ethylene-propylene (EP)
O-rings can be used to 150 °C and are
recommended for applications such as
ethers, ammonia, and amines which will
rapidly destroy fluoroelastomer O-rings.
The working pressure and temperatures
in these reactors must not exceed the
following maximum limits:

5000 Series Multiple Reactor System
INSTALLATION
General Setup Guidelines
The Series 5000 Multiple Reactor
System requires at least 10 square feet
of work space on a sturdy bench or
table in a well ventilated area with
convenient access to an electric outlet.
If the tabletop is not heat resistant it
would be ideal to provide an insulated
pad on which to set the vessels when
hot.
Set the controller near the reactor on a
sturdy bench or table where there is
convenient access to an electrical outlet
capable of carrying up to 20 amperes.
Leave a space of at least twelve inches
between the controller and the heater
block so that the controller will not be
affected by radiant heat.
Installation
The system should be assembled
according to Diagram 1. Please note
that this figure illustrates the rear
view of all components in order to
clearly show the external wiring
details. From the front, the stations are
numbered 1 through 6, from left to right.

INSTALLATION (continued)
Diagram 1: Layout Diagram of Multiple Reactor System
Connect the external grounding
strap between the heater and
stirrer assembly.
The A1330E2 Heater Cable
assembly is to be fixed with
screws to prevent access to
live electrical components.
There will be a metal bracket on each
end of the cable with a screw on it.
Unthread the screw and line it up with
the port on the chassis. Then tighten
the screw to fix the cable in place.
Turn on the power switches located on
the front of the controller and the stirrer
assembly. If present, make sure the
stirrer local/remote switch is in the
remote position. If there is no stirrer
local/remote switch present on this unit,
no adjustment is necessary.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION
Installation instructions are listed on the
477M CD which accompanied the 5000
MRS System as "MRS_ReadMe.htm".
Operation of the graphical user interface
is listed on the 477M CD which
accompanied the 5000 MRS System as
"Instructions_index.htm".
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
The chassis, manifold, and valves and
fittings may be cleaned with a damp
cloth. The top and front of the 4871 and
MRS may be cleaned with a lightly
dampened cloth containing mild soap
solution. The heater, the back of the
4871, and the back of the MRS should
not be directly exposed to any liquid
cleaning agent.
Note: Disconnect from power source
before cleaning.
Fuses
The replacement of protective fuses and
backup AA size, 3.6 V battery for the
4871 Controller are the only internal
maintenance procedures that should be
performed by qualified personnel.
Proper fuse rating should be discussed
with Parr Instrument Company
Technical Support. Advanced
troubleshooting instructions can be
obtained by calling Parr Instrument
Company to determine which parts may
need to be replaced or serviced.
Head gaskets
Some extrusion of the PTFE gasket will
occur if the vessels are operated in 200
- 300 °C range. Normally this extrusion
doesn’t preclude reuse of the gasket;
the extruded portion should be removed
with a sharp knife. However, when the
gasket thickness is reduced to half of its
original thickness, it should be replaced.
If an FKM O-ring head gasket is used,
the life of the gasket will be shortened if
the operating temperature is above
200 °C. FFKM O-ring seals may be
used up to 275 °C. Unfortunately they
are very expensive and will generally be
reserved for unique applications. EP Orings may be used up to 150 °C.
Rupture discs
With normal use, rupture discs should
be replaced annually. More frequent
replacement may be necessary
depending on the operating conditions.
