A heating jacket is a metal enclosure installed around the body or the whole of the valve with the purpose of maintaining the temperature of the fluid flowing through the valve.
The jacket is supplied with a heat transfer fluid that can be either steam or liquid. The supply of the heat transfer fluid can be done in several ways: via an injection port, directly to the flange, through welded ends, by a three-piece connection, etc.
A heating jacket can:
– maintain the required temperature for the fluid flowing through the valve.
– provide a more cost-effective solution for the finished product (compared with electric trace heating).
– help eliminate the risk of explosion if the product is installed in a dangerous environment.
Here in Dervos, all valves are pressure and leak tested before and after being jacketed. Moreover, a heating jacket is an option that can be added to any valve in our product range, so this will be a very good choice when needed.
Take a look at some photos of valves that we manufactured before.
