A high-pressure reactor which has a hydraulically controlled pressure-relief valve. The mechanical design of the corresponding hydraulic system in combination with the control technology used facilitates particularly fast opening of the pressure-relief valve in the case of pressure or temperature jumps in the high-pressure reactor.

Hydraulically controlled pressure relief valve for high-pressure reactors

A probe for temperature measurement, comprising a probe, body which has a cylindrical hole into which a thermocouple or a resistance thermometer can be inserted, whose thermosensitive tip projects from the forward section of the probe body, the forward section of the probe body being provided with an annular gap at a small distance from the cylindrical hole .

Temperature measuring probe

In a process for the high-pressure polymerization of ethylene in a high-pressure autoclave or in a high-pressure tube reactor having one or more metering points for one or more peroxides, no peroxide or a reduced amount of peroxide is metered in during the time interval in which the pressure is lowered by opening a pressure maintenance valve and the original amount of peroxide per unit time is metered in again as soon as the pressure after closure of the pressure maintenance valve has built up again so that it exceeds 90% of the pressure difference between nominal pressure and lowered pressure.
