The jacket used in a reactor is typically a double-walled jacket, also known as a jacketed reactor.
It consists of an inner vessel, called the core, that holds the chemical reactants.
An outer shell, called the jacket, circulates a heating or cooling fluid.
The purpose of the jacket is to regulate the temperature of the reaction inside the core vessel.
4 Key Types of Jackets Used in Reactors
There are different types of jackets used in reactors, including dimple jackets, half-pipe jackets, plate coils, and conventional jackets.
Each type of jacket has its own advantages and capabilities.
For example, dimple jackets are known for efficient heat transfer, compact design, and easy maintenance.
Half-pipe jackets are suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications, and they also provide good agitation.
The choice of jacket depends on the specific requirements of the reactor and the process being carried out.
Cooling jackets, in particular, play a crucial role in controlling the temperature of the reaction.
They prevent the upward spiral of temperature, which can increase the rate of reaction and generate even more heat.
Cooling liquids flow through the jacket, collecting heat energy from the outer surface of the reactor.
