URETHANE INDUSTRY GLOSSARY - J |
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.
Jigging See fixtures.
Jigs and Fixtures See fixtures.
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.
