Jacketed Tanks from Savannah Tank

If your process or materials require temperatures above or below ambient levels, then a heat transfer jacket may be right for your application.

A jacketed tank or jacketed vessel is surrounded with a secondary wall that allows for temperature-controlling fluid or gas to flow around the tank without directly coming in contact with the contents inside the tank. If your next tank or pressure vessel requires external heating or cooling, reach out to the experts at Savannah Tank and Equipment Corporation for a jacketed reactor or jacketed mixing tank.

We have nearly 30 years of experience building tanks with heat transfer jackets. The most common types of tank jackets are:

• Conventional jacket – The main tank is outfitted with an outer wall that encapsulates it like a secondary vessel, and hot or cold media is circulated between the main tank and the jacket. While this style of jacket provides the most coverage, it is typically the heaviest and thickest jacketed tank option.

 

• Dimpled jacket –A tank with a dimple jacket features a lightweight outer shell that is welded to the main tank every 2” to 3” so the exterior looks like the dimples on a golf ball. The dimples form a network of pockets through which heating or cooling media can be circulated. A dimpled jacket can often be the most economical way to add external temperature control to a storage tank or pressure vessel.

 

• Half-pipe jacket – For this type of jacket, a length of half pipe is wrapped around the tank in a helical arrangement. Heating or cooling media is then circulated through the pipe raising or lowering the temperature of the tank.
