When production or transport companies have to store products in storage tanks or tank systems, they need to protect against excessive heat or cold and maintain the desired environmental conditions. Heating or cooling product in a tank can be a major energy expense and a concern to all our customers. Efficient sizing of tanks, insulation, heaters, or coolers depends on an accurate calculation of the thermal transfer required (Delta T). One of the most effective ways to accomplish that is with a jacket. A jacket is an outer layer covering the original tank shell where the medium flows between the surfaces, which results in efficient and uniform thermal transfer to the product.
