VAPORIZATION SUPPLY METHOD AND VAPORIZATION SUPPLY DEVICE
A vaporization supply device includes a vaporizer for heating and vaporizing a liquid raw material L, a flow rate controller for controlling a flow rate of the gas supplied from the vaporizer to a gas supply destination, and a controller for heating the inside of the vaporizer to obtain a necessary gas flow rate, and performing a feedback control so that a pressure becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value. The controller is configured so as to stop the feedback control at the time point when the flow rate control by the flow rate controller starts, then heat the liquid raw material by an amount of heat provided to the vaporizer more than the heat that has already been provided immediately before the feedback control ends, and change to the feedback control after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time point when the flow rate control by the flow rate controller starts.
Continuous acoustic chemical microreactor
A continuous acoustic chemical microreactor system is disclosed. The system includes a continuous process vessel (CPV) and an acoustic agitator coupled to the CPV and configured to agitate the CPV along an oscillation axis. The CPV includes a reactant inlet configured to receive one or more reactants into the CPV, an elongated tube coupled at a first end to the reactant inlet and configured to receive the reactants from the reactant inlet, and a product outlet coupled to a second end of the elongated tube and configured to discharge a product of a chemical reaction among the reactants from the CPV. The acoustic agitator is configured to agitate the CPV along the oscillation axis such that the inner surface of the elongated tube accelerates the one or more reactants in alternating upward and downward directions along the oscillation axis.
