Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Jacketed Ball Valve, and what makes it different?

It is a standard, reliable ball valve with a built-in heating or cooling system. It features a unique jacketed outer layer that surrounds the main valve body. This jacket allows a separate heating or cooling fluid (like steam, oil, or water) to circulate around the valve, maintaining the ideal temperature of the process fluid inside.

Why is temperature control around a valve so important?

Many industrial fluids can’t be allowed to get too hot or too cold. If they cool down too much, they can solidify, crystallize, or become too viscous (thick) to flow, which can clog or damage pipes. The jacket keeps everything flowing smoothly by ensuring precise temperature management, preventing costly blockages and downtime.

Where are Jacketed Ball Valves typically used?

They are essential in industries where maintaining fluid temperature is critical to the process. You’ll commonly find them in chemical processing, polymer and resin handling, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and asphalt industries anywhere that deals with materials that solidify easily or require strict temperature control.

What are the "full bore" and "reduced bore" options?

These terms refer to the size of the ball’s internal passageway compared to the pipe size.

A Full Bore valve has an opening as large as the pipe, allowing for minimal flow restriction and easier cleaning (pigging).
A Reduced Bore valve has a smaller opening, which is often a cost-effective choice for many applications where a slight pressure drop is acceptable. IPC offers both to suit your specific needs.

What are the main benefits of IPC's Jacketed Ball Valves?

The primary benefits are maximum safety, sealing integrity, and reliability. By providing superior temperature control, our valves prevent process failures and ensure consistent operation. Their robust design offers peace of mind in demanding applications where both temperature management and a leak-tight shut-off are non-negotiable.

How can I select the right jacketed valve for my application?

The key factors are your process fluid, the required jacket heating/cooling medium, the operating temperatures and pressures for both, and your preferred bore size. Our engineering team is ready to help you navigate these choices. You can learn more about the specifics on our Jacketed Ball Valves product page or contact us directly at Enquiry@ipcvalves.com.
