Lesson 10 - Jacketed Vessels
This lesson explores another type of common heat transfer equipment used in brewing, namely jacketed vessels. It investigates the application, specifications, and the operating conditions of these exchangers. It also looks at their design and sizing considerations.
Lesson Information
Pre-requisite Knowledge:
-
Principles of Heat Transfer and Conduction (Lesson 2/Heat Transfer)
-
Convection (Lesson 4/Heat Transfer)
-
Radiation and Combined (Lesson 6/Heat Transfer)
-
Heat Exchangers (Lesson 8/Heat Transfer)
Learning Outcomes:
-
Describe the application of jacketed vessels along with their key components and functions.
-
Show how the configuration of a jacketed vessel influences its design and performance.
-
Using the principles of heat transfer, explain how heat is transferred in a jacketed vessel and the various factors affecting this.
-
Select and size a jacketed vessel for an application in a brewery; explain the pros and cons of your selection.
-
Explain why the actual performance of a jacketed vessel varies from its design specifications, and state how this can be managed in a brewery.
