**How to Install a Stainless Steel Reactor**

Proper installation of a stainless steel reactor ensures optimal performance and extends its service life. Follow these steps carefully:

1. **Placement:**

- Install the reactor indoors, ensuring good ventilation.

- For multiple reactors, separate them and provide each with a direct exit to the outdoors or a passageway.

2. **Autoclave Cover Installation:**

- Avoid collisions between the autoclave body and cover.

- Place the cover carefully on the body and tighten the main nuts symmetrically in steps to ensure an even seal.

3. **Threaded Connections:**

- Only rotate the nuts at forward and reverse connections; avoid rotating the arc-shaped sealing surfaces.

- Lubricate all threaded connections during assembly.

4. **Needle Valve Sealing:**

- Gently turn the valve needle to compress the sealing surfaces for an effective seal.

5. **Rotor Check:**

- Manually rotate the rotor to ensure smooth operation.

6. **Controller Placement:**

- Place the controller on a flat surface in an environment with:

- Temperature: 10–40°C

- Relative humidity: <85%

- No conductive dust or corrosive gases.

7. **Pre-Operation Checks:**

- Inspect movable parts, fixed contacts, and connectors for looseness or damage.

- Ensure the reactor is free from rust or transport-related damage.

8. **Post-Operation Steps:**

- Cool the reactor naturally or with water, then release pressurized gas to normalize pressure (gauge reads zero).

- Loosen the main nuts evenly, remove the cover, and place it on a stand.

By following these steps, the reactor will be safely and effectively installed for optimal use.
