Application

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.
