In our facility I have several reactors with a jacket. The insulation is not according to the requirements in API 521, so I can not take credits for this.
But can I take any credits for the jacket, since it is also a pressure vessel (DP jacket = 5 barg) in a external fire case?
And what about a half-coil, that will reduce also the heat input in case of a fire?
Can I calculate the environmental factor for the jacket with the maximum thermal conductivity of the fluid in the jacket and with the thickness of the gap between the jacket and the reactor?
