Recommended by an old customer, ±1℃ precise temperature control! How does AODE empower chemical microchannel reactors?

As A subsidiary of a central state-owned enterprise, Customer A focuses on the research and development, production and sales of OLED front-end materials. Its products cover pre-sublimation materials for light-emitting layers, pre-sublimation materials for general-purpose layers, OLED intermediates, etc. The microchannel reactor is one of the key equipment in its production process.

Microchannel reactors have extremely high requirements for temperature control. They need to achieve precise temperature control over a wide range and be able to adapt to complex environments. As a cooperative project recommended by an old customer of AODE, the customer is particularly concerned about the quality of the equipment, the details of acceptance and the long-term stability.

Pain point

Strict quality control: Customers attach great importance to product quality. The synthesis of OLED materials is sensitive to temperature fluctuations and has extremely high requirements for the precision and stability of production equipment. Traditional temperature control equipment is difficult to meet the strict demand of microchannel reactors for precise temperature control within ±1℃.

Complex working conditions: The chemical production environment is complex and changeable. The working environment temperature may fluctuate between 2℃ and +40℃, the relative humidity is 50%-80%, and the temperature difference changes by ±4℃/h. This requires temperature control equipment to have strong environmental adaptability and reliability.

Safety risk challenges: During the reaction process of chemical materials, temperature loss of control may cause safety hazards. Temperature control equipment needs to have explosion-proof and other safety features; otherwise, it may lead to safety accidents and cause huge losses to the enterprise.

AODE provided it with a customized air-cooled hot and cold integrated machine. This equipment has the following features to meet the customer's needs: 

Part1 Precise temperature control

Adopting PID ±1℃ control technology and paired with high-precision thermal resistance temperature sensors, it can effectively eliminate temperature differences, achieve rapid temperature rise and drop, and meet the demand for rapid temperature switching at different stages in chemical production.

Part2 Wide temperature range coverage

Seamless switching within the range of -30℃ to 200℃, with a built-in 50L oil tank, meeting the demands of continuous production.

Part3 Strong adaptability to the environment

The air-cooled design avoids the risk of freezing and scaling in the water-cooling system. The equipment can operate continuously and stably under working environment conditions with a temperature range of 2℃ to +40℃, a relative humidity of 50% to 80%, and a temperature difference of ±4℃/h, unaffected by environmental changes, ensuring the continuity and stability of production.

Part4 Comprehensive security protection

The heating system is equipped with over-temperature protection, reverse phase protection, motor overload protection, medium shortage protection, pipeline blockage protection, abnormal pressure protection, exhaust protection, etc. The cooling system is equipped with reverse phase, motor overload, high and low pressure of the compressor, anti-freezing, liquid level protection, etc., effectively preventing equipment failure and safety accidents, and providing reliable support for chemical production.

Part5 Intelligent operation

It adopts the PLC+ human-machine interface control mode and is equipped with an explosion-proof mouse. The operation is simple and intuitive, facilitating the staff to monitor the equipment operation status in real time and adjust parameters, thereby improving the efficiency of production management.
