CaRX Query

[Roberto CRC]

Hi frends

If the reactor is far (approx. 63" ) from the return pump that is the one that puts water in it. It can affect that the output of the reactor decreases strength also being at an approximate of 63" ?

How much incoming flow should the reactor have?

Tks

not a reactor user, but someone from the squad should be able answer

You need the correct size cal reactor "feed" pump, that is separate from the main return...IMO.

If you scroll down to post #805 (and soak up the two video's, that is how Hybird and I setup / tuned in and run our reactor's.
We don't drip the output, and the "stream" is in video #2

Also an Apex is the way to go to smooth out your melting point and get the BRS needle valve to control the output's stream.

I push an Sicce 1.5 feed pump, but my reactor is not 63" away.

It's not amount of feed with a separate feed pump but the effluent based on exsisting BIG 3#

You got to dial the reactor's melting point, in.. :)

Melting point of your media in the reactor.

Tks for your post.

How I know what is the correct size feed pump to my reactor?

I have korallin C1502!

To feed my reactor I use the main return pump, is a Vectra M1! Is not correct to feed?

Your korallin pump is perfect to feed your CARX.
In a state of emergency when your Ph gets to high you want to shut off your feed pump, doing so automatically through your controller is a must.

IMHO the best way to feed a CaRx is with a continuous duty peristalsic pump. I use the Kamoer FS-1 you can control it up to 0.5 ml/min to a max of 100ml/min, but that is not available anymore. Many use laboratory peristalsic pumps like Cole Palmer.

I recently heard Kamoer is bringing in a new continous duty pump to the US but it’s already available in China and Europe. It’s the Kamoer FX-STP.

But instead of feeding you pull it, that way you even more accurate.
I do it with the Cole/palmer for years.
