What temperature can a steam jacketed kettle be heated to?

The relationship between absolute pressure and saturation temperature for a reactor can be summarized as follows:

Absolute Pressure (MPa)

Saturation Temperature (°C)

0.1

99

0.2

118.6

0.3

122.9

0.4

142.9

0.5

151.1

0.6

158.1

0.7

164.2

0.8

169.6

0.9

174.5

0.10

179

0.11

183.2

0.12

187.1

This data highlights how saturation temperature increases with absolute pressure, which is critical for maintaining proper reactor operation and avoiding issues like sticking or inefficient reactions.
