Designed to support cutting-edge energy conversion research, Wiggens Photochemical Reactors are an excellent choice for laboratories in South Africa. These advanced systems are used in a wide range of applications—from mimicking photosynthesis and enabling visual processes in animals to driving complex organic chemical reactions. As photocatalysis and photo separation techniques gain momentum, these reactors offer the versatility and performance required for modern lab environments.
Versatile Design
The Photochemical Reactors are available in three working volumes: 250 ml, 500 ml, and 1,000 ml. Constructed from durable borosilicate glass or quartz, these reactors ensure optimal performance and reliability. The high-efficiency UV mercury lamp, with power options ranging from 100 to 1,200W, supports a wide range of photochemical reactions, providing flexibility for various experimental setups.
Enhanced Functionality
To improve experimental outcomes, these reactors offer multiple filter types, allowing for the precise selection of specific wavelengths. This feature enhances the versatility of your experiments, enabling tailored light exposure for different photochemical processes.
Safety and Control
Safety is paramount in laboratory settings. The integrated Chemtron safety controller combines digital temperature monitoring with water-flow monitoring into a single, user-friendly instrument. This controller automatically shuts off power if the water flow rate drops below the set level or if the reaction temperature exceeds user-defined limits. It also ensures safety during power interruptions, requiring a simple reset after outages.
Reliable Power Management
The water-flow power cut-off feature prevents damage caused by water or power failures. It controls up to 1.8 kW AC power at 120 volts or 4.6 kW AC power at 230 volts, ensuring robust performance in demanding environments. Additionally, the system provides an automatic reset for brief power outages and water pressure drops, maintaining operational integrity.
