VESSELS, such as reactor vessels or vertical tanks, used for processing chemicals and pharmaceuticals are often equipped with jackets, or hollow shells, surrounding the chamber. Thorough this jacket a heat transfer medium is circulated, providing heat (or cooling) to the materials within. Proper design of a thermal fluid or HEAT system will allow very precise temperature control of the process.
Single wall TANKS are used throughout industry for processing and storage of many types of materials. By installing heat transfer coils inside a tank, materials can be heated, maintained at a specific temperature, or even melted, inside a tank for a particular process.
