Electric heating cable prevents crystallization of liquid epoxy resin

Since liquid epoxy resin is more sensitive to temperature requirements, when equipping electric heating cables, you may consider a combination of constant-power thermostats electric heating cables and use temperature regulators to precisely control the temperature.

Under normal conditions, the liquid epoxy resin is colorless, transparent and fluid. When the external temperature decreases, the activity of the molecular chain decreases, and it is easy to obtain crystal embryos. Crystallization is more likely to occur when the temperature is in the temperature range of 0 °C to 15 °C. There is also a phenomenon when the temperature difference between day and night is large. The crystallization process will be started and accelerated. Alternating high and low temperatures within 20-30 °C will result in a vicious cycle process, which is also the most common cause of resin crystallization.

Since the crystallization will cause more problems, it is necessary to solve the crystallization problem. Generally, there are four methods: \ n1. Monitor the ambient temperature when the epoxy resin is stored. 2. The crystallized epoxy resin can be reduced by heating and stirring at 50-60 °C. 2. The addition of bisphenol F epoxy resin effectively reduces the crystallization phenomenon, but the price of bisphenol F epoxy resin is slightly higher; the viscosity is slightly higher.

Here we will focus on how to control the ambient temperature when storing epoxy resin. This is a good way to lay electric heating cables on tanks or pipelines.

Electric heating is to use the heat generated by the electric heating products to compensate for the loss of process equipment such as pipes and heating tanks, so that the temperature of the relevant environment can be maintained within reasonable limits to meet the requirements of the electric heating process can directly convert electrical energy into thermal energy, has a simple design, convenient installation and maintenance. Since liquid epoxy resin is more sensitive to temperature requirements, when equipping electric heating cables, you may consider a combination of constant-power thermostats electric heating cables and use temperature regulators to precisely control the temperature.

The application area of the electric heating belt is relatively wide, it can be used not only for the thermal insulation of civil pipelines, but also for the insulation of pipelines in the field of industrial petroleum, electric power, chemical industry, fire protection and is a widely used product for thermal insulation and heating.

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.
