Meaning

In mechanical engineering, an air jacket refers to a type of insulation or cooling system that uses a layer of air to provide thermal protection or heat dissipation for a piece of equipment or component. An air jacket can be used in a variety of applications, including industrial machinery, engines, and piping systems, and typically consists of a layer of air or other gas trapped between two layers of material. The air jacket can provide insulation by trapping heat and preventing it from escaping, or it can provide cooling by allowing heat to dissipate into the surrounding air. Air jackets can be designed in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit specific applications, and can be made from a range of materials depending on the requirements of the system.

In rescue operations, an air jacket typically refers to a type of personal protective equipment worn by rescue personnel, such as firefighters or water rescue teams, to provide buoyancy and thermal protection in water or other hazardous environments. The air jacket typically consists of a vest or suit that is inflated with air or another gas to provide buoyancy and prevent the wearer from sinking. The jacket may also be equipped with additional features such as reflective materials, lights, or signaling devices to improve visibility in low light or emergency situations.
