A jacketed valve features a protective covering (the “jacket”) around its body. This jacket allows for the circulation of an external medium (such as steam or cooling fluid) to regulate the temperature of the fluid flowing through the valve. It prevents flow blockages due to crystallization or solidification of the fluid.

Types of Jacketed Valves

Heat Jacketed Valve: Incorporates jackets directly into the valve body with electric heating coils.

Hot Jacketed Valve: Uses jackets for temperature control with hot media.

Cold Jacketed Valve: Similar to hot jacketed valves but uses cold media for temperature regulation.

Construction: Jacketed valves resemble ordinary valves but include jackets or pockets within the body. An additional circulation system supplies the external medium to the jacket.

Applications: Jacketed valves are crucial in industries like chemicals and pharmaceuticals, where precise temperature management is essential.
