5400 Tubular Reactor System
Preface
Scope
These instructions describe the installation, operation and maintenance of Parr Series 5400 Tubular
Reactor System. They cover the basic steps to be
followed installing these reactors and describe
the function of all standard components. They are
intended to be used in conjunction with several
related instruction sheets listed in the following section. This information describes several components
which are common to most Parr pressure reaction
equipment and includes safety precautions and
other related information applicable to all reaction
laboratories. The users should study all of these
instructions carefully before starting to use these
vessels so that they will fully understand the capabilities and limitations of the equipment.
Related Instructions
The following Parr publications are also included to
further your understanding of this instrument and
its component parts:
Safety Information
To avoid electrical shock, always:
1. Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of
correct voltage and current handling capability.
2. Ensure that the equipment is connected to
electrical service according to local national
electrical codes. Failure to properly connect may
create a fire or shock hazard.
3. For continued protection against possible
hazard, replace fuses with same type and rating
of fuse.
4. Disconnect from the power supply before
maintenance or servicing.
To avoid personal injury:
5. Do not use in the presence of flammable or
combustible materials; fire or explosion may
result. This device contains components which
may ignite such material.
6. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Electrical Ratings
Controller ratings are found in the Operating Instructions for the controller supplied with your reactor
and on the controller data plate.
Before connecting a controller to an electrical outlet,
the user must be certain that the electrical outlet has
an earth ground connection and that the line, load
and other characteristics of the installation do not
exceed the following limits:
Voltage: Fluctuations in the line voltage should not
exceed 10% of the rated nominal voltage shown on
the data plate.
Frequency: Controllers can be operated from either
a 50 or 60 Hertz power supply without affecting their
operation or calibration.
Current: The total current drawn should not exceed
the rating shown on the data plate on the controller
by more than 10 percent.

This CAUTION symbol may be present on the Product Instrumentation
and literature. If present on the product, the user must consult the appropriate part of the accompanying product literature for more information.
This CAUTION symbol indicates that the surface may be hot.

Intended Usage
This system has been designed for use as a high
pressure 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.
Environmental Conditions
This instrument is intended to be used indoors.
Caution!
Do not use in hazardous atmospheres.
Operating: 15 ºC to 35 ºC; maximum relative humidity of 80% non-condensing. Installation Category II
(over voltage) in accordance with IEC 664.
Pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC 664.
Provisions for Lifting and Carrying
The 5400 Tubular Reactor System and its components are very heavy. Before moving ensure all
cables are disconnected. Use proper and safe lifting
techniques when installing or moving the 5400 Tubular Reactor System and/ or its components.
Unpack Carefully
Unpack the equipment carefully and check all the
parts against the packing list. Ensure that all layers
of the foam packing are inspected and verify that
all components have been removed before packing materials are discarded. If shipping damage is
discovered, report it immediately to the delivering
carriers. The reactor, cart, gas feed system, liquid
feed system, product handling equipment and controllers may be packaged 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.
Altitude Limit: 2,000 meters.
Storage: -25 °C and 65 °C; 10% to 85% relative
humidity.

General Assembly
Although all tubular reactor systems are custom
built to the customer’s needs, the general assembly
is typical for each unit. The general assembly consists of mounting the gas feed rack and the reactor/
5400 Tubular Reactor System
heater assembly on to the base of the cart using
the provided mounting holes. The gas feed rack is
located on the left side of the cart and the reactor
is on the right. The racks should be mounted to the
cart using the provided bolts and wing nuts. These
nuts should be checked periodically to ensure that
they are tight.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Periodic cleaning may be performed on the exterior
surfaces of the instrument with a lightly dampened
cloth containing mild soap solution. All power should
be disconnected when cleaning the instrument.
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 pressure vessel which has the
capability, pressure rating, corrosion resistance
and design features that are suitable for its intended use. Parr 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.
In exercising the responsibility for the selection
of pressure equipment, the prospective user is
often faced with a choice between over- or underdesigned 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, Parr 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
There are no user serviceable parts inside the product other than what is specifically called out and
discussed in this manual. Advanced troubleshooting
instructions beyond the scope of this manual can
be obtained by calling Parr Instrument Company in
order to determine which part(s) may be replaced or
serviced.
Ensure that any hot surfaces have had
adequate time to cool before cleaning
or maintaining the reactor and/or its
components.
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.
