MANUFACTURERS OF QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL PRESSURE VESSELS, REACTORS, STORAGE TANKS, MIXING VESSELS AND PROCESS PLANT
Heating and cooling
If you need to heat and/ or cool the contents of your vessel Sinclair Stainless can offer you a range of options internally and/or externally to suit your process needs including :-
Conventional/full jackets Limpet/half pipe coils Dimple jackets Trace heating Electric blankets Shell and tube heat exchangers/condensers
Limpet coils are an excellent method of heat transfer. They offer reduced heating/cooling times and a greater degree of accuracy in controlling product temperatures by allowing high pressures and high velocities of the heating/cooling medium thus reducing production costs.
Limpet coils are manufactured as a continuous coil and then fitted and welded to the vessel . They can be supplied in single or multiple zones or as a dual circuit.
Conventional jackets are ideally suited to smaller vessels. The use of spiral baffles to obtain higher flow rates increases heat transfer thus reducing heating/cooling times.
Dimple jackets are also excellent methods for heat transfer by allowing high flow rates and high pressure thus reducing heating/cooling times when used with flow guides.
Both limpet coils and dimple jackets can offer considerable cost savings over conventional jackets by allowing reduced vessel wall thickness when jacket pressure is the controlling factor.
