Is the steam jacketed kettle a pressure vessel?
 
A pressure lower than 0.1MPA is an atmospheric vessel. Above 0.1MPA is a pressure vessel
The steam jacketed cooking kettle is a sanitary jacketed cooking kettle, also known as a steam pot, a cooking pot, and a jacketed steam pot. It usually consists of a pot body and legs. The pot body is a double-layer structure composed of an inner and outer spherical pot body, and the middle layer is heated by steam. There are fixed, tiltable, stirring and other styles. The steam jacketed kettle has the characteristics of large heating area, high thermal efficiency, uniform heating, short boiling time of liquid material, easy control of heating temperature, beautiful appearance, easy installation, convenient operation, safety and reliability. Jacketed pans are widely used in all kinds of food processing, and can also be used in large restaurants. They are good equipment for food processing to improve quality, shorten time, and improve working conditions.
 
Precautions for jacketed cooking kettle:
 
Steam jacketed cooking kettle, cooking pot, steam pot. Usually composed of feet and pot body. The pot body is a double-layer structure composed of inner and outer spherical pot bodies. The following precautions should be followed in use.
 
1. In the process of using the jacketed kettle, you should always pay attention to the change of steam pressure, and adjust it in time with the steam inlet valve.
 
2. After stopping the air intake, turn on the straight mouth cock at the bottom of the jacketed cooking kettle and drain the remaining water.
 
3. The outer pot of the electric heating jacketed cooking kettle is made of 4.5-5.5mm thick stainless steel steel plate SUS304 or SUS316 or A3 steel plate. When the outer pot has been rusted and thinned to less than 2 mm after years of corrosion, it should be discontinued.

Remember: The interlayer of the electric heating jacket must be open to the atmosphere, and the interlayer is at normal pressure during heating.
 
6. The steam pressure should not exceed the rated working pressure for a long time.
 
7. The safety valve can be adjusted according to the pressure of the user's own steam.
