Electric heating system for underground pipeline
Electric heating is widely used as effective pipe insulation and antifreeze. Its working principle is to dissipate a certain amount of heat through the heat transfer medium and make up for the losses of the heated pipe through direct or indirect heat exchange to meet normal operating requirements for temperature rise, heat preservation or antifreeze.

Electric heating is widely used as effective pipe insulation and antifreeze. Its working principle is to dissipate a certain amount of heat through the heat transfer medium and make up for the losses of the heated pipe through direct or indirect heat exchange to meet normal operating requirements for temperature rise, heat preservation or antifreeze.
Since the insulation material of the overhead pipeline usually consists of a glass wool shell, the construction of the insulating material will be carried out on site after the completion of the pipeline construction, so the design of the winding and laying of the electric heating cable The overhead pipeline is very mature, and the pipelines requiring electric heating. Are installed in the pipeline of insulating material. It can be installed in accordance with the requirements of the electric heating installation before construction. In this case, because the ground temperature is higher than the air temperature, the underground pipeline can only meet the technological requirements by thermal insulation. However, when the transmission process environment is relatively special, and the underground pipeline also needs electric heating, electric heating is required Special design for laying and construction methods.
Take as an example an oil depot in Yulin, Shaanxi Province. Oil from the third line of the tank farm has low density, low viscosity, high freezing point and high paraffin deposition temperature. In winter, Yulin has a low temperature, and the average monthly minimum temperature is minus 15.8 ° C. In addition to the normal process of entering and exiting the tanks, the warehouse has a large number of periodically operating pipelines. Given that the pipeline is shut down for a long time, the oil product will drop to the paraffin drop point or even below the freezing point in the winter, and condensation will occur, causing difficulties in re-starting, so the process pipeline needs to adopt a heating design. Most of the process pipelines in the warehouse are laid on the ground, but since crude oil is transported from the storage tank to the external pump room, the fire road in the area of the tank is separated in the middle, and the pipeline from the tank to the pump room is partially buried, so it needs to be buried. The electric heating cable of the ground pipeline is used for heating and heat preservation.
Electric heating system generally consists of electric heating cables, connecting boxes, cable fittings, junction boxes, control and control components, etc. D.
When installing underground electric heating cables, it should be borne in mind that the underground insulation layer has a good thermal insulation effect; the outer protective layer of the underground insulation layer should have good waterproof performance; the electrical heating cable junction box should be installed on the ground.
When designing the underground electric heating cable system, we can study the method of laying the ultra-long-distance electric heating cable and reserve space for the electric heating cable to pass through the pipe outside the pipeline to be kept warm. A small steel tube sleeve (electric heating cable cutting pipe) is added on the outside of the working steel pipe, temporarily fixed with galvanized iron wire, and then filled with polyurethane foam between the outer protective pipe and the working steel pipe. The reserved in the insulation layer is aligned to the average drop, and the electric heating cable is laid along the reserved tube through the tube, and the junction box of the head end and tail end is installed at both ends of the inlet and outlet of the ground.

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.
