Electric heating scheme for freezing protection and heat preservation of organic chemical raw materials acrylic acid pipeline

Because acrylic acid is a flammable and explosive product, at a relatively low ambient temperature in the cold winter, acrylic acid is prone to freezing, resulting in safety problems. Therefore, in order for acrylic acid not to freeze at low temperatures, it is necessary to insulate and insulate acrylic pipes and tanks

Chemical acrylic acid is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is an aggressive chemical raw material that is soluble in water, ethanol and ether. The liquid had a melting point of 13 °C and a boiling point of 139 °C.

Because acrylic acid is a flammable and explosive product, at a relatively low ambient temperature in the cold winter, acrylic acid is prone to freezing, resulting in safety problems. Therefore, in order for acrylic acid not to freeze at low temperatures, it is necessary to insulate and insulate acrylic pipes and tanks.

Currently the most popular in chemical plants is electric heating. Since the melting point of acrylic acid is 13 °C, it is necessary to use only a self-regulating electric heating cable, and since acrylic acid is a flammable and explosive product, self-contained products are subject to corrosion protection and explosion safety requirements. -Control electric heating cable.

Low temperature self-regulating heating cable consists of a conductive material, two parallel tires and an insulating layer. Its characteristic is that the conductive material has a high positive temperature coefficient of resistance, and the output power can be automatically adjusted when the ambient temperature changes.

Parameters of low temperature self-regulating electric heater

(1) Standard color: black/blue

(2) Temperature range: The maximum operating temperature is 65 ± 5 °C and the maximum sustained temperature is 90 °C.

(3) Design temperature: Polyolefin minimum-20 °C, Fluorine material minimum-60 °C

(4) Starting current: ≤ 0.5 A/m

(5) Thermal stability: After the electric heating belt has passed the thermal performance test, its power should be maintained at 90% of the original value.

(6) Bending radius: 25.4mm at-20 °C, 35mm at-60 °C

(7) Insulation resistance: The insulation resistance between the electric heating conductor and the metal shielding layer shall not be less than 50 MOM.

Low-temperature self-regulating electric heating tapes are widely used in civil solar power, geothermal heating, fire, petroleum, chemical, steel, electric power, environmental protection and other industrial plants for heating, heat preservation, anticoagulation and antifreeze protection of pipelines and tanks. The heating cable is suitable for common areas, explosive zones and corrosion zones. After being used together with the explosion-proof power junction box, it is suitable for T6, T4 and T3 explosive gas mixtures in the first and second areas of the plant, which are not directly affected by external forces.

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.
