AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Since the connector tubing has little or no flexibility, replacement of fluidic modules or even replacement of gaskets can require disassembly of several fluidic interconnections, which is time consuming and may result in the need to replace additional gaskets

Embodiment Construction

[0032] Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0033] figure 1 is a side elevation view of a modular continuous flow reactor according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Such as figure 1 As shown, the modular reactor 10 includes a plurality of planar fluid modules 12 each of which may be supported within a frame 11 . Each module 12 has two opposed major generally planar outer surfaces 14, 16 with one or more fluid ports 18 on each of said major surfaces (fluid ports are indicated by the reference numeral 18). location at figure 1not visible in the side view of the ). The fluid ports 18 provide fluid access to one or more fluid channels (not shown in this figure) inside the module 12 . The modules 12 are arranged in spaced apart horizontally extending rows 50 exte...

Abstract

A modular reactor (10) includes a plurality of planar fluidic modules (12) arranged in a spaced-apart horizontally extending row extending in a direction D with the major surfaces (14, 16) of the modules (12) oriented generally parallel to each other. A plurality of rigid or semi-rigid fluid connectors (30) are each positioned between facing major surfaces (14, 16) of the modules, and the connectors (30) fluidically and mechanically join at least one fluid port (18a) on a first surface (24) of the facing surfaces to at least one other fluid port (18b) on a second surface (26) of the facing surfaces (14,16). The reactor (10) further comprises a horizontally extending support structure (60) extending above the row of modules (12) in the direction D, and one or more hangers (32) each supporting one of the plurality of fluidic modules (12) from the support structure (60). The hangers (32) comprise a first rotary joint (34) having a first axis (36) positioned above the respective module (12) and below the support structure (60), and optionally and desirably, a second rotary joint (38) with a second axis (40), the one or two axes (36, 40) orthogonal to the direction D.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority under 35 USC §119 to US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 494409, filed June 7, 2011, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to assemblies of fluidic reactors comprised of individual fluidic modules, such as continuous flow reactors, included to provide robust fluidic interconnections and robust mechanical support for the individual fluidic modules, and more particularly to providing secure support At the same time it is easy to use, while allowing thermal expansion of the fluid connections between the modules. Background technique [0004] Continuous flow reactors can be useful for chemical preparations, especially those based on microreaction technologies. Such reactors typically take the form of assemblies of multiple fluidic modules (or, interchangeably, "microfluidic modules") mounted within a ...
