The GUNT Cooling Crystallisation Unit is a precision educational trainer for demonstrating the crystallisation of saturated solutions by controlled cooling. It enables hands-on experiments on crystal growth, process stability, and heat exchange, ideal for chemical engineering and process technology instruction.
Product Features
- Demonstrates crystallisation by cooling using saturated potassium sulphate solution
- Heated circuit prevents premature crystallisation by maintaining solution above saturation temperature
- Integrated heat exchangers connect the heating and crystallisation circuits
- A bypass loop diverts a portion of the heated solution into the crystallisation cell
- Crystallisation cell cooled by water through dedicated heat exchangers to induce oversaturation
- Crystallisation cell features porous filter media to retain crystals and create a fluidised bed
- Removable crystallisation cell allows addition of seed crystals and easy access for observation
- Crystal growth rate determined by mass measurement before and after experiment
- Includes separate stirred tank with heat exchanger for preparation of saturated solution
- Temperature sensors monitor and control temperatures in main tank, bypass, and crystallisation zone
- All flow conditions designed to support optimal crystal growth and separation
Benefits
- Provides hands-on learning of crystallisation kinetics and process control
- Transparent processes for visualising phase transition from solution to solid
- Supports experimentation with different seed materials and cooling profiles
Why Choose the GUNT Cooling Crystallisation Unit?
This system is ideal for exploring the crystallisation of supersaturated solutions under well-defined cooling conditions. It supports fluidised bed crystal growth, offers precise temperature control, and is perfect for laboratory use in teaching and research.
