4.2.1. Dimple jacket description
®
The Palletank
jacketed for LevMixer
has been designed for having a maximized
heat transfer surface. All faces are insulated;
all faces are jacketed except the front face
(200L to 1000L) and the lid. The heat trans-
fer fluid pathway allows the circulation of
the heat transfer fluid through the bottom
and four sides (50L and 100L)|three sides
(200L to 1000L) of the Palletank
The dimple jacket characteristics provide an
excellent heat transfer by generating turbu-
lence (dimples). Moreover, dimple jacket baf-
fles increase the fluid velocity (See Figures 4
and 5).

range
The insulation surrounding the dimple jacket is composed of two insulation foams:
1. The malleable glascofoam in contact with the thinner plate,
2. The rigid polyfoam insuring the insulation over the malleable glascofoam.
Finally, the external stainless steel envelope surrounds the rigid insulation foam.

4.2.3.3. Pressure specifications
In conformance with the ASME VIII Div 1 Appendix 17 certificate and PED 97/23/EC, the
pressure inside the dimple jacket is validated as follows:

4.2.3.4. Heating|Cooling System Recommendations
The Palletank
system (i.e. chiller) or can directly be connected to facility's water network. Sartorius Stedim
Biotech recommends the use of insulated tubing.
Caution:
In both cases, the operating pressure must be lower than the maximum validated operating
pressure.
