An insulator unit for a multipurpose flow module, such as a plate reactor, comprising a plurality of thermally insulating layers arranged in a sandwich structure with a plurality of plates, to provide thermal insulation across the sandwich structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An insulator unit for a multipurpose flow module, comprising a plurality of thermally insulating layers arranged in a sandwich structure with a plurality of plates, to provide thermal insulation across the sandwich structure, wherein the insulator unit further comprises fastening means keeping the sandwich structure together, wherein the sandwich structure comprises at least one elastic member, and wherein said at least one elastic member is at least one insulating layer; said fastening means comprises at least one rivet extending at least partly through the sandwich structure, and wherein said rivet comprises or consists of a thermally insulating material; and wherein said fastening means is in the form of a screw for fastening the insulator unit to a multipurpose flow module. 2. An insulator unit according to claim 1 , wherein each insulating layer is in the form of a continuous sheet of an insulating material. 3. An insulator unit according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plates is patterned so that to retain an adjacent insulating layer in the sandwich structure upon compression. 4. An insulator unit according to claim 3 , wherein the patterned plate is provided with a plurality of openings extending through the same plate, which openings are distributed over the plate. 5. An insulator unit according to claim 4 , wherein the area of the openings make up at least 5 percent of the surface area of the patterned plate. 6. An insulator unit according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the insulating layers comprises expanded PTFE or a material selected from one or more of the materials in the group consisting of expanded PTFE, PEEK and PPS. 7. An insulator unit according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plates is a metal plate.
