How to choose the mode of heating the asphalt environment?
Due to the characteristics of a bitumen medium that freezes and coking easily, it is difficult to intelligently track heat in production, storage and transportation.

Bitumen is a black or dark brown viscous liquid, semi-solid or solid at room temperature, and has a high temperature sensitivity. Oil asphalt includes straight-run asphalt, solvent-skimmed asphalt, oxidized asphalt, mixed asphalt, modified asphalt, etc. D. In recent years, with the rapid development of road construction, the amount of road asphalt has been increasing day by day, and its light freezing and coking characteristics have greatly limited production. Development in the field of storage and transportation. How to realize the use and economical energy saving in the production, storage and transportation of asphalt by electric heating is a new topic in recent years.
The main equipment that requires heating for petroleum bitumen includes production filling equipment and conveyor equipment There are currently four main methods for heating asphalt: casing heating, heating pipe, electrical belt, heating pipe, heat transfer cement.
Heated hull. Wrap the asphalt supply main pipe inside the housing and install the insulation layer outside the housing. The heat sink is supplied inside the case. There is full contact between the housing and the main pipe, and the heat is mainly monitored by thermal conductivity.
heating tube. The heating pipe and the asphalt transport pipe are parallel and connected by thin iron wire, etc. D., and the actual distance between them may be different. The bitumen supply line enters the insulation along with one or more tracer tubes. The heating medium is fed into the heating pipe, and the heating pipe and the main pipe are in linear contact or partial point contact, or there is no contact, and the heat is mainly heated by thermal radiation.
Electric heating cable. The structure is similar to the heat pipe, but the heating cable is thinner, the cross-sectional area is smaller, the flexibility is better, it is tight to the main pipe, fixed with the main pipe with a special tape, and the diameter of the outer insulation layer is smaller. The electric heating cable is powered to generate heat and then transfer heat to the dispatcher. It is made of conductive plastic and two parallel tires plus an insulating layer. It is in close linear contact with the main tube, using the principle that the resistor housing generates heat in the circuit, or the skin-the AC high voltage effect generates heat, which is transmitted by the thermal conductivity of electrical energy. Addition to the heat sink of the supervisor.
Thermal Grease Heating Tube. The difference from the electric heating pipe is that the gap between the heating pipe and the main pipe is filled with heat-conducting cement, which insulates the air in the main pipe and the fittings of the heating pipe, so that they fit tightly together. The heating pipe transfers heat to the main pipe through the heat-conducting cement.
The asphalt environment is easy to freeze and coke, and due to the need to save energy and reduce consumption, the choice of heating method is increasingly appreciated by manufacturers and design units. After many years of practice, the choice of the heating method should be adapted to local conditions. According to the different air-conditioning workrooms, the heating method should be reasonably selected and taken into account in the design, construction, maintenance, overhaul and other aspects. Achieve the greatest economic effect.

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.
