SML Associates' Jacketed Heater/Cooler Benefits And Applications
We build jacketed heaters and coolers including a clamp-on jacket for solids heating and cooling under gravity flow. We have experience in jacketing ceramic tubes such as quartz using metal jackets which provides the purity and abrasion resistance of the quartz with the toughness of the metal jacket.
Benefits
SLIP-ON JACKET
- More robust than glass jacket
- Higher pressure rating
- Protects glass inner tube
- Abrasion resistance of ceramic w/ heat transfer of metals
- Even heating and cooling
- Can recover useful heat as hot water
CLAMP-ON JACKET
- Abrasion resistance of ceramic w/ heat transfer of metals
- No glass to fluid contact
- Lightweight
- Can heat and cool
- Can recover useful heat as steam or hot oil (no temperature or pressure limitation)
- Adjustable
Applications
- Heating or cooling to replace conventional welded jackets
- Can be used for glass, quartz or ceramic equipment
- Heating or cooling granulated solids
- Reboiler or condenser
