When ordinary insulation is not sufficient
for certain applications, or when specific minimum
temperatures are needed to convey viscous substances,
traced piping is generally used; this consists
of two tubes, one inside the other, with various
differences in cross-section.
One
of the tubes, generally the inner one, carries
the medium, and the other one carries a heating
or cooling agent ; sometimes it is the other way
around .In other cases, the external tube is used
as a safety measure.
Occasionally,
such traced piping has to be flexible. It is for
such applications that we supply our Jacketed
hose.
It's
high flexibility makes this hose very suitable
for angular and lateral (offset) movements. The
Jacketed hose is pressure-and vaccum-proof and,
due to the materials used in its manufacture,
resistant to temperature and corrosion. The large
surface area of the corrugated section results
in particularly high heat transfer efficiency,
the hose combining the functions of a flexible
conduit and a highly efficient heat exchanger
in the simplest possible form.
