Jacketed Tank

A term which refers to a tank having an additional metal shell, coils of tubing or resistance wire surrounding the inner tank in order to utilize the tank as a heat exchanger. The most common form of this is the separate outer shell through which steam can be introduced for heating purposes. Using this sort of tank for a chiller may cause problems with condensation. Insulation is sometimes used to gain efficiency.

Jumper Hose

Usually a short length of hose needed when installing a device 'in-line' in the flow circuit of one of the components. The existing hose is attached to either the inlet or the outlet of the new device as required, and the jumper hose then is installed between the other connection and the point of original attachment of the original hose.
