It has become a common trend for manufacturers to design both fully and partially jacketed models of valves. Steam jacketed valves are meant to ensure efficiency in transferring heat from one point to the other. Covering prevents loss of heat through leaking. Steel and stainless metals are the most commonly used metals in this process. Helium is afterwards used in testing their efficiency.
There are several designs of such devices in the industry, and customers make orders as dictated by their desires. These designs include; full or partial covering, type of materials used, end to end dimensions, size, configurations, and globes. Buyers always consider these elements before buying valves.
End to end dimensions are usually referred to as fully jacketed devices. Most of their flanges are usually covered from one end of the device to the other. This design is contrasted to the other one where some parts; mostly the central ones are not covered.
A variation of this process involves over-sized flanges. The flanges are deliberately elongated to easily bring them into contact with the heat producer. This is always with the objective of ensuring that enough heat is transferred to prevent seizure and crystallization.
Full jacketing can also be done using standard flanges. This occurs when the jacket runs from one flange end toward the other using threaded insertions bound on the back and front parts of this valve and inserted into bolt holes on the equipment. It will then be wielded to the external diameter of the flanges then into the the equipment itself. Normally, this process uses threaded studs.
Another way of fully jacketing, though not a genuine way of covering, is use of oversize flange BV. It is also a very critical process in this field. The whole body of this equipment is covered. Only parts at the center are not covered. Mostly, valves covered this way contain two or three ports on each jacket. Normally, they are made as short or long E-E dimensions.
All the central parts of the valve are covered in partial jacketing. This is because they are the only parts that are allowed to come into direct contact with heat. The flanges on the edges are not directly heated. Whenever heating whole valves is not necessary, these types of valves are always used.
As mentioned in the introduction, the jacketing materials preferred are ordinary steel and stainless steel. These are usually considered to be strong metals which also do not easily get corroded. They are appropriately fabricated to provide required temperatures for effective working of valves.
As discussed above, it has clearly emerged that specific materials are required for provision and maintenance of required temperature movements. This is very important to the working of valves. These materials should always be steel or stainless steel to prevent corrosion whenever steam comes into contact with the parts of the valve. It is also evident that there are several designing methods in the market. Depending on the requirements of the buyer; valves can be fully or partially covered.
