Selection of electric heating type for pipelines of liquid caustic, benzene and other liquid materials
In the process of production, storage and transportation of liquid chemical products, the traditional method of heat preservation-steam electric heating-was previously used. However, the steam temperature is much higher than the temperature range that the material must maintain, so improper temperature adjustment will cause local overheating of the material. In addition, steam heating has disadvantages such as high cost of use and difficulty of maintenance.

In the process of production, storage and transportation of liquid chemical products, the traditional method of heat preservation-steam electric heating-was previously used. However, the steam temperature is much higher than the temperature range that the material must maintain, so improper temperature adjustment will cause local overheating of the material. In addition, steam heating has disadvantages such as high cost of use and difficulty of maintenance.

Petrochemical company in Binzhou, Shandong Province, has been cooperating with us since 2014 to replace the traditional steam heating electric heating. Electric heating features high thermal efficiency, energy saving, simple design, convenient design and installation, no environmental pollution, long service life. Remote control and advantages such as automatic control are the technical direction of replacing steam electric heating.
The Company has successfully used electric heating cables to heat the piping of diaphragm liquid alkali, pure benzene, p-benzene, xylene and other materials. When choosing electric heating products, various factors should be fully considered, such as applicability, economy, power conditions, etc. D. The principles of choice are as follows.
A. According to the maintenance temperature of the pipeline and sometimes the maximum operating temperature, select the electric heating product whose maximum maintenance temperature is higher than that of it.
B. Depending on the power supply conditions, network load and pipeline length, determine the electric heating scheme and electric heating model, such as constant power, self-limiting type or serial type, etc. D.
C. Determine the unit function and length of the required electric heating article for heat release per unit length of pipeline or heat release per unit area of the container.
D. Determine the structure of the necessary electric heating products according to different conditions of use: generally, you can choose the usual type, it is recommended to use the reinforced type for explosion-proof cases, the reinforced type should be used for underground or corrosive places.
Generally, the electric heating temperature is controlled by a temperature controller, and the heating cable operating temperature is set according to the freezing point of the material. Install the platinum thermoresistor on the main line. The platinum thermoresistor determines the actual temperature of the pipeline and returns it to the temperature controller. The temperature controller controls the heating cable to operate according to the comparison between the feedback temperature and the set temperature.
Electric heating cables are used in pipelines for liquid materials of petrochemical plants due to their significant energy saving and low energy consumption. The advantages of high reliability and ease of automatic control allow you to completely replace the traditional steam heating.

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.
