What is a Jacketed Plug Valve?

It is a type of industrial valve designed to handle high-temperature or high-pressure applications where there is a risk of fluid or gas freezing within the valve body, and provides temperature control for the process fluid flowing through the valve, making it suitable for applications where temperature maintenance or control is critical. The valve design serves several important purposes. The jacket is an outer chamber around the valve body that allows the circulation of a temperature-controlling medium, such as steam, hot water, or a cooling fluid, to regulate the temperature of the process fluid inside the valve.

The Jacketed Plug Valve is chosen for the precise temperature control, freeze protection, and viscosity control, making them suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries where temperature maintenance or control is critical.

Advantages:

• Temperature Control: The primary advantage of these is to maintain and control the temperature of the material flowing through the valve. This is useful in applications where maintaining a specific temperature is critical.
• Leakage prevention: The jacket surrounding the valve body helps prevent external leakage of the process fluid. In applications where the material is corrosive, toxic, or hazardous.
• Material protection: Valves are commonly used in applications where the material being handled is sensitive to temperature changes. By maintaining a consistent temperature, these valves help prevent the material from solidifying, gelling, or experiencing by maintaining the fluid temperature above its solidification point.
