What is a Jacketed Insulated Pressure Vessel? A jacketed insulated pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure, while also incorporating a jacket space for insulation or heat transfer media. The jacket surrounds the main vessel, providing thermal insulation or allowing for heating or cooling of the vessel’s contents. These vessels are crucial components in many industrial applications, as they ensure the safe containment and processing of fluids under controlled temperature conditions.
Why are Jacketed Insulated Pressure Vessels Needed?
Jacketed insulated pressure vessels are essential for various reasons
- Temperature Control: They maintain the desired temperature of the contents by providing insulation or facilitating heat transfer through the jacket space.
- Energy Efficiency: Jacketed insulation reduces energy consumption by minimizing heat loss or gain between the vessel and the environment.
- Process Optimization: Maintaining stable temperatures within the vessel ensures optimal process conditions and product quality.
- Safety: Insulation protects personnel from high-temperature surfaces, while the jacket can also serve as a secondary containment layer in case of leaks.
- Versatility: The jacket space can be used for heating or cooling media, allowing for precise temperature control and flexibility in process design.
Jacketed Insulated Pressure Vessel Specifications and Characteristics
At Roben, Mfg, Inc., we offer a wide range of jacketed insulated pressure vessel options to suit your specific needs. Our vessels are designed to withstand various environmental conditions and operational demands, including
- Conventional Jackets: These jackets are welded or bolted onto the main vessel and can be used for insulation or heat transfer media circulation.
- Dimple Jackets: Dimple jackets feature a dimpled surface that creates a gap between the jacket and the main vessel, allowing for efficient heat transfer and improved circulation.
- Half-Pipe Coil Jackets: These jackets consist of half-pipes welded onto the main vessel, creating channels for heat transfer media circulation. Available in various sizes (3″, 4″, 5″, 6″).
- Removable Jackets: Removable jackets allow for easy access to the main vessel for inspection, maintenance, or cleaning purposes.
- Injection Quill Jackets: Injection quill jackets are designed for the injection of steam or other heat transfer media directly into the vessel’s contents.

Jacketed Insulated Pressure Vessels Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the difference between a jacketed and a non-jacketed pressure vessel?
A jacketed pressure vessel features an additional outer layer, called a jacket, that surrounds the main vessel. The jacket space can be used for insulation or for circulating a heat transfer medium, such as steam, water, or thermal oil. Non-jacketed pressure vessels do not have this additional layer and rely on external insulation or heat transfer methods.
2. What are the advantages of using a jacketed insulated pressure vessel?
Jacketed insulated pressure vessels offer several advantages, including
- Precise temperature control and uniformity
- Enhanced energy efficiency through improved insulation
- Faster heating or cooling rates due to direct contact with the heat transfer medium
- Reduced fouling and improved cleanability
- Safer operation, as the jacket can serve as a secondary containment layer
3. What types of jackets are available for pressure vessels?
Several types of jackets are available for pressure vessels, including
- Conventional jackets (welded or bolted)
- Dimple jackets
- Half-pipe coil jackets (3″, 4″, 5″, 6″)
- Removable jackets
- Injection quill jackets The choice of jacket type depends on factors such as the process requirements, heat transfer characteristics, and maintenance needs.
4. What heat transfer media can be used in jacketed pressure vessels?
Various heat transfer media can be used in jacketed pressure vessels, depending on the temperature range and process requirements. Common options include
- Steam
- Water (hot or chilled)
- Thermal oil
- Glycol solutions
- Molten salts
- Silicone fluids The selection of the heat transfer medium depends on factors such as the desired temperature range, heat transfer properties, compatibility with vessel materials, and safety considerations.
5. How are jacketed pressure vessels designed and manufactured?
Jacketed pressure vessels are designed and manufactured following rigorous standards and guidelines, such as ASME Section VIII and ASME BPE. The process typically involves
