Abstract: A reactor and method commonly applicable for high-pressure in-situ DSC and neutron tests of a gas hydrate relates to the field of characterization of physical and chemical properties of the gas hydrate. The reactor can not only carry out a high-pressure and low-temperature in-situ DSC test of the hydrate but also be suitable for a neutron diffraction test of the hydrate. The reactor can be adapted to an existing high-pressure and low-temperature in-situ DSC device without the need to re-develop a whole set of system, thus greatly reducing the replacement cost of the device. Owing to the sectional design, the flexibility and the applicability of the reactor can be ensured. Researchers can conveniently transport the hydrate in a pressure-maintaining manner. Even at a long distance, with the assistance of a liquid nitrogen tank or a vehicle-mounted refrigerator, it can be ensured that the hydrate may not be decomposed during transportation.
