Questions regarding jacketed heat exchange
Thread Content
A jacket is now being designed; this jacket is sealed and contains a conductor, which is heated using electricity, with a temperature range of 400–500 degrees. I wonder if it’s feasible? If possible, what conductor should be used for heating?
It’s not practical to implement this approach. Either you need to insert the heating element directly into your tank or vessel, using a circulation pump to facilitate circulation, or you need to build a heating furnace that uses a heat transfer medium to heat the jacket. At such high temperatures, the heat transfer medium must be circulated; otherwise, direct heating of the jacket can lead to excessively high local temperatures, which may cause fires and is very dangerous
Agree with the person above. Circulation is still required even when heating inside the jacket.
What type of circulation pump should be used at such high temperatures?
I agree with the opinion from the second floor; moreover, since there are conductors inside the jacket, heating it to such high temperatures is extremely dangerous, and inspection and maintenance are also very difficult.

Temperatures of 400-500 degrees require molten salt for heating. As for the circulation pump, you need to ask the pump manufacturer; there are pumps designed to handle high temperatures. If your equipment is not large in scale, you can consult manufacturers of electric heaters
