Maintenance and inspection of the laboratory reactor are key to ensure its long-term stable operation. Here are some of the reactor parts that need to be inspected and maintained regularly:

1. O-rings and seals: O-rings and seals are a very important component of the laboratory reactor, which have a sealing function to prevent the leakage of reactants and the entry of foreign impurities. They need to be checked regularly for integrity and wear, and replaced when necessary.

2. Stirring system: The normal operation of the stirring system is essential for the materials in the laboratory reactor body. The bearings, seals and stirring blades of the stirring device should be checked regularly to ensure the smooth operation of the stirring system.

3. Heating and cooling system: Regularly check the connecting pipes of the heating system, the working status of the electric heating pipes and the sealing of the steam valve to ensure the normal operation of the heating system. At the same time, check the efficiency of the cooling system, such as the cleanliness and heat dissipation of the condenser, to ensure the stable operation of the laboratory reactor.

4. Pressure and temperature sensors: Sensors are essential for monitoring the reaction conditions of the laboratory reactor. They should be calibrated and checked regularly to ensure that the sensors provide accurate readings.

5. Valves and fittings: Check the sealing and operational flexibility of valves and fittings to ensure that valves and fittings can correctly control the flow of fluids.

6. Reactor body: Check the corrosion of the laboratory reactor body, especially for glass or stainless steel reactors. If necessary, perform non-destructive testing and thickness measurement on the laboratory reactor to ensure the integrity of the structure.

7. Coupling: It is very important to disassemble and inspect the coupling. Its expansion force and wear should be checked to ensure the stability of the transmission system.

8. Bottom sliding bearing: Check the wear and lubrication of the sliding bearing to ensure its smooth operation. Add lubricating oil or replace the bearing according to the situation.

9. Safety valve and bursting disc: Regularly check and calibrate the safety valve, and replace the explosion-proof disc when necessary to ensure the safety of the laboratory reactor under overpressure.

10. Insulation layer and anti-corrosion layer: Check the integrity of the insulation layer and anti-corrosion layer, and repair or replace them when necessary to protect the laboratory reactor from corrosion.

11. Electrical and control system: Check the functionality of the electrical connections and control system to ensure safe operation of the reactor and precise control of reaction conditions.

By regularly checking and maintaining these key components of the laboratory reactor, you can ensure the safety and efficiency of the laboratory reactor, extend its service life, and prevent accidents.
