Application of electric heating in the insulation of liquid soda storage tank
In winter, steam heating pipes often experience the phenomenon of “flow, flap, drip and flow”, which leads to the waste of energy resources. As a more appropriate method of heat preservation, electric heating is finding increasing use due to its flexible control.

In the past, steam heating has always been the main method of heat preservation for material pipelines, but heat dissipation due to steam is not easy to control, and its heat preservation efficiency is low. In addition, the pipelines at the enterprise are relatively complex, and it is very inconvenient to lay steam heating pipes. In addition, in winter, the phenomenon of “flows, flaps, drips and flows” often occurs in a steam heating pipe, which leads to the waste of energy resources. As a more appropriate method of heat preservation, electric heating is finding increasing use due to its flexible control.
East China storage and transportation plant Sinopec has introduced electric heating pipes for most liquid explosives heat preservation systems and achieved a good energy saving effect. Among them, the liquid and alkali line has been converted the most.
The electric heating system mainly consists of two parts: the control unit and the electric heating belt. After the power supply to the electric heating belt, it generates heat itself to realize the heating function. The electric heating system is controlled with a fixed adjustment, and the working state of the electric heating belt is adjusted according to the temperature deviation of the pipeline material, that is, the set value of the temperature of the electric heating system (the temperature control index of the material in the pipeline) does not change for a certain period of time. When a disturbance occurs (e. g., a change in the outside temperature or a change in the incoming material temperature over a period of time), the temperature measurement sensor will send the actual temperature back to the regulator for comparison with a given temperature to determine whether the heating belt needs to be heated, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the primary system contactor to turn on the power. Or disabling this section of the electric heating belt.
The electric heating tape is the most important material in the electric heating system. Commonly used electric heating cables in the thermal insulation of petrochemical materials include parallel heating heating cables and series heating heating cables. After comparison, the storage and transportation plant finally chose a series of electric heating tapes.
According to the specific conditions of each group of tanks and pump room at the facility, and taking into account the electrical balance, the electric heating scheme provides for the use of 4 explosion-proof digital display control units to supply power to all electrical heating cables and control the temperature.
After years of practice, it has been proven that under the same conditions, our electric heating energy consumption is only 26.4% of steam heating energy consumption, and the economic benefits are significant. At the same time, electric heating also has environmental protection advantages, such as no noise, no work, no emissions, drifts and leaks. Judging by the current operation of the electric heating system, the electric heating gave the expected 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.
