Heating/Cooling Media

Heating & Cooling Media

Bendel is a specialist when it comes to heating and cooling media. The end result is always to maintain a specific temperature as part of a storage or manufacturing process. We provide our clients with four unique options for maintaining temperature-specific vessels.

CONVENTIONAL JACKETS

Conventional Jackets provide a large heating or cooling transfer area however, depending upon the pressure, can be substantially more expensive than other alternatives.

DIMPLED JACKETS

Dimpled Jackets also provide for a large heating or cooling transfer area but are not recommended for pressures exceeding 200 psi or when the cycling of steam and cooling water is to be utilized in the process. The cost of dimpled jackets is relatively inexpensive.

HALF PIPE JACKETS

Half Pipe Jackets are more expensive than dimpled jackets but do not have the pressure or cycling limitations of dimpled jackets. All three external jacket options do not pose a potential for material contamination.

INTERNAL COILS

Internal Coils provide for good heating and cooling surface contact while handling high
internal and external pressures. If the stored material is not corrosive to the coil then this may be the most economical option.

However, internal coils do not offer the degree of safety from contamination by the heating or cooling medium that external jackets can provide.
