Looking for a source of jacketed elbows and tees.

Also, wondering if there is anyone out there producing dual jacketed
spools yet.

Many thanks

Jacketed elbows are fairly common in the food industry for things like sauces and chocolate that need elevated temps to flow.
Glacier can supply them, other sources are these guys:http://www.hollandapt.com/static.asp?path=2980,6691

316 isn't really needed unless you are cleaning things with caustic or running salt water through the cooling jackets.

When you say dual jacketed, do you mean vacuum jacketed outer jackets?
I made this one and some others:

The vacuum outer jacket is very beneficial when using LN2 or CO2 cooling but a lot of work. If there was enough interest I'd start making these to sell but they won't be cheap.

2 best guys bring best replies.

That is exactly what I am talking about RB. Ultris??
Wanna make me some!? I wonder how uncheap "not cheap" is.

Shoot me an email to the address on my IG and we can chat. Ultris systems is me.

Thanks!

I'm experimenting with an aerogel jacket right now for my dewax column, so far seems to be working slick. I will have to do some comparison runs to see if it is really saving CO2.

aerogel inside a jacket?

Nah, that would be an insane amount of work for an application a vacuum would work better in. I'm using it as a insulation wrap on the outside of the column. The product is called Thermal Wrap (imaginative, I know) it is made by Cabot I believe. It is easy to work with, durable, and is dust free. It has a thermal conductivity almost 3 times that of polystyrene, and is a mere 8mm thick.

I should re-phrase that: it has 1/3 the thermal conductivity, in the .015 BTU/(hr·ft⋅°F) range.
