What electric heating cable is used for anti-frost insulation of petrochemical equipment and pipelines?
Electric heating gradually displaced water and steam heating due to its uniform heating, convenient maintenance and automatic control, and became the main material for freezing protection and heat preservation in petrochemical appliances and pipelines.

Petrochemical plants and auxiliary facilities are generally located outdoors. The extreme temperature range of the environment in winter and summer in north and south China is approximately-40-44 degrees Celsius. The design of electric heating and thermal insulation of instruments and measuring pipelines is a key point ensuring the normal operation of the device.
The electric heating gradually displaced water and steam heating due to its uniform heating, convenient maintenance and automatic control, and became the main material for anti-freezing and heat preservation in petrochemical appliances and pipelines.
Electric heating cables, commonly used for thermal insulation of petrochemical instruments and piping, are mainly divided into self-regulating electric heating cables, constant power parallel heating cables, and constant power series heating cables The rated voltage is usually 220 V (AC) or 380 V (AC). Self-regulating electric heating cables can be divided into three series according to the operating temperature: low-temperature, medium-temperature and high-temperature. The service temperature is 150 ± 5 ℃, and the withstand temperature is 250 ℃.
Self-regulating electric heating cable is used for freezing protection, and its characteristic is that it can automatically control the heating temperature and automatically adjust the power output according to the temperature of the heating element; it can be arbitrarily cut or lengthened. Within the specified length; any incision is allowed; or it can be extended within the specified length; the use of overlapping is allowed; the electrical power of the cold start is relatively large, so the specified length of the device usually does not exceed 100 m.
The rated power range of constant power parallel electric heating cables is 10-60 W/m, and the maximum operating temperature is 130 degrees Celsius; the rated power range of continuous power electric heating cables is 8-45 W/m. The constant-power-side electric heating cable should be equipped with a thermostat for use in cases where precise temperature control is required; it can be arbitrarily cut or lengthened within the specified length range; the use of random intersections and overlays is not allowed. The main features of the constant power series electric heating cables are long length, constant output power, need for customization, and shear resistance. These are commonly used for anti-freezing, anti-condensate and heat preservation in main pipelines, large tanks and storage tanks.
When used in explosion-proof rooms, it should be borne in mind that the explosion-proof performance of heating electrical cables must meet the requirements of fission of explosive zones on the object, especially the requirements for the maximum limit of surface temperature.
Electric heating is finding more and more applications in heating appliances and piping in terms of installation convenience, environmental protection efficiency, maintenance costs and heating accuracy. It has obvious advantages in energy-saving effect and other aspects. At the same time, the widespread use of electric heating in petrochemical equipment and auxiliary facilities allows to fully achieve the standardized design and installation of the electric heating system, as well as to implement automatic control of the entire electric heating system in the device.

Electrical heating installation precautions
Electric heating cable is a heating method that uses insulation resistance or resistance heating wire to create a temperature after power supply. It can automatically adjust the output temperature and reasonably maintain the process temperature requirements to keep warm, raise the temperature and protect the heating equipment from freezing. The insulation and antifreeze effect of the container is very good.
Which electric heating should be chosen for the main pipeline transport of heavy oil
Transport of heavy oil through the pipeline over long distances and long-term retention in the pipeline will result in a drop in temperature due to heat dissipation and increased viscosity, which will cause the pipeline to be blocked by freezing or condensation-related accidents. Electric heating is widely used as effective insulation of pipelines and anti-freeze protection.
Which electric heating cable should be considered for a 4 km pipeline
According to the statistics of the Hydrometeorological Center, the average daily minimum temperature at the location of the CNPC tank farm is 5 ° C, and the average daily maximum temperature is 14 ° C. Since the freezing point of the PX is about 15 °C, the supply pipeline needs heat preservation and heating. The oil depot has been in operation for many years without a stable source of steam, therefore, this project is considering the use of electric heating technology.
Application of outdoor electric heating cable in oil main pipelines with high paraffin content
Long-distance crude oil pipelines with a high paraffin content with freezing temperatures above 50 °C. According to the requirements of the production plan of the plant, the volume of oil transportation through the pipeline is 150 thousand rubles. Tons per year, maximum-200 thousand. Tons per year.. According to the thermodynamic analysis of the pipeline, the initial supply temperature of the pipeline is 80 ° C (TN), and the temperature of the end entering the tank is 60 ° C (Tu). Since the transportation temperature needs to be adjusted according to the time of year, it sometimes needs to be transported by heat.
What heating product to choose for main infusion pipelines
In petrochemical engineering, trunk infusion pipelines are the lifeblood of the factories. The temperature in the northern region is too low in winter and the pipeline needs to be insulated to compensate for the heat loss due to the low temperature in winter to ensure the normal operation of the pipeline.
The role of leather tracer cables in the insulation of asphalt main pipelines
The toughness of the asphalt is greatly affected by the temperature. When the temperature decreases, the toughness of the asphalt increases, and the drop in resistance of the asphalt during pipeline transportation increases; when the temperature falls below the freezing point, the asphalt solidifies, causing the pipeline to clog and the conveyor belt to come to trouble. Therefore, electric heating and heat preservation during the transportation of asphalt are very important.
