Conventional Jackets "Conventional jackets" can be divided into two (2) main categories: baffled and non-baffled. Baffled jackets Figure 1: Conventional often utilize a!"et wat is known as a s!irall wound baffle. #e baffle consist of a metal stri! wound around te inner vessel wall from te jacket utilit inlet to te utilit outlet. #e baffle directs te flow in a s!iral !at wit a fluid velocit of $-% ft&s. #e fabrication metods does allow for small internal leakage or b!ass around te baffle. 'enerall b!ass flows can eceed $&* to $&2 of te total circulating flow. Conventional baffled jackets are usuall a!!lied wit small vessels using ig tem!eratures were te internal !ressure in more tan twice te jacket !ressure. +!irall baffled jackets are limited to a !ressure of $,, !sig because vessel wall tickness becomes large and te eat transfer is greatl reduced. n te case of an allo reactor a ver costl vessel can result. or ig tem!erature a!!lications te termal e!ansion differential must be considered wen coosing materials for te vessel and jacket. /esign and
