An exemplary embodiment of a jacket for heating and cooling a test cell generally includes an inner liner having an exterior channel along at least a portion of the liner exterior wall surface; an outer shell tightly fitted over the interior liner; openings provided in the outer shell, the openings proximate upper and lower ends or segments of the channel of the inner liner; and connectors provided on the outer shell openings for connection of fluid lines, thereby providing for fluid flow intermediate the upper and lower ends or segments of the channel of the inner liner. An exemplary embodiment of a method for producing the jacket generally includes providing the channel in the inner liner and providing an interference fit between the inner liner and the outer shell, whereby fluid communication there between, and a substantially fluidly impenetrable seal between the inner liner and the test cell, are provided.
