The technology of tower-type photothermal energy generation from molten salt has been commercialized in China due to the advantages of high concentration ratio, high photothermal conversion efficiency, continuous power generation at night, and independent peak regulation. The tower of molten salt technology is also half a fraction. The 50 MW Hami Molten Salt Cooling Tower project of CLP Engineering is one of the first CSP demonstration projects in the country and the first CSP demonstration project in Xinjiang. The solar thermal power plant successfully connected to the grid for the first time in 2019.

Due to the low temperature condensation of salt melt, the radiator salt melt pipeline is equipped with an electric heating cable system to keep the system running normally. The electric heating cable adopts different laying patterns according to the power required and different designs of the heated equipment. The electric heating cable has a Y-shaped connection method, a U-shaped connection method, etc. D., as well as the position of the connection. The box is also adjustable and changes depending on the method of laying the heating cable. The two ends of the electric heating cable on the thermocouple side and the test device should be fixed conveniently and securely. The distance between the spare thermocouple and the spare power junction box is equal to the distance of the working thermocouple, and the power junction box should be as close as possible, and the power cable stock should be taken into account when switching. Considering the way electric heating cables are laid on the pipelines, the temperature of the upper part of the pipelines is slightly higher than the temperature of the lower parts of the pipelines, the length of the electric heating cables on each loop of the vertical pipelines should not be too long, and the thermocouples on the horizontal pipelines should be installed as high as possible above the pipelines. When laying electric heating cables, the electrical heating cables of the same circuit should not be overlapped or crossed. The cold end of the weld of the electric heating cables should be outside the pipe insulation, and the junction box should be reasonably located on a nearby structural basis. Platform.

The mineral insulated heating cable (Mineral Insulated Ead Calle) consists of a metal core (heating body), the core tightly surrounded by mineral magnesium oxide (insulation layer) and a metal tube (usually copper, steel or stainless steel, 316L, 825). Alloy, etc.). If desired, the layer of the anticorrosive outer shell of polyperfluoroethylene-propylene can be squeezed out of the metal shell.

Mineral insulated heating cables are suitable for freezing protection in industry or construction, as well as for heat preservation and heating of process environments. Especially for pipelines that require high power output or must withstand high temperature steam purging and work at high temperature for a long time, in environments that require anti-corrosion and explosion safety, the mineral insulated heating cables of the MISS electric heating system can show excellent performance.

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.
