Valves with heating jackets
SPECIAL VALVES: Valves with heating jackets
The problem:
One challenge in the field of chemicals, petrochemicals, cryogenics, nuclear or polymers is maintaining the fluid produced in industrial lines at a specific temperature so that its properties can be conserved throughout the manufacturing process.
The solution :
♦ Customized valvesenclosed in a “jacket” rather than the alternative “electric trace heating”*
A heating jacket can : – Maintain the required temperature for the fluid flowing through the valve – Provide a more cost effective solution for the finished product (compared with electric trace heating) – Help eliminate the risk of explosion if the product is installed in a dangerous environment.
For certain applications, Guichon can design a valve fitted with a jacket for the purpose of ensuring additional safety in case of perforation of the valve body by the fluid.

* ( The temperature is maintained thanks to heating elements arranged around the valve)
