Swedish term or phrase: mantel
Till vänster ses en fjärdedel av partikelavskiljarens utloppsdel och till höger motsvarande del av mantelns inloppsdel från finita¬elementmodellen om 360º.

Is this a particle separator's casing? jacket?

jacket
Explanation:
Jacket sounds good and is translated with mantel/mantling in a lot of other cases (e.g. about gun bullets).
Casing has a lot of equivalents in Swedish but mantel would not be among the most frequent translations IMHO.
As opposed to casing, mantel is not so frequently used.
