Application of skin effect heating cable in pipeline recessed into residual oil

In the process of building the fuel oil process pipeline, about 1,215 m of the fuel oil pipeline was buried and laid at the Tianjin oil field. Other devices, the actual operation of the underground electric heating pipeline. However, it was later changed to electric heating with a surface effect.

The principle of the electric heating (heating) technology of the surface effect pipeline is that when an electric current passes between the cable in the heating pipe and the heat pipe, the heating pipe current gradually tends to the inner wall of the heating pipe (i. The voltage and current on the outer surface of the heating pipe are zero, forms an insulating structure in itself), and it is this thin inner part that generates joule heat from three parts:

When the current is supplied to the heating tube, the heat generated by the heating tube;

Amount, generated by cables inside the heating tube;

The hysteresis loss in the heating tube generates part of the heat.

Compared with steam heating, the electric heating with the skin effect of the pipe has high safety, high reliability, easy maintenance, high heating temperature (when using carbon steel pipe, the heating temperature can reach 260 °, the maximum can reach 650 °), specific power Large, long heating distance (The maximum heating distance of one power supply can reach 25 kilometers), it is suitable for main pipelines, various caliber pipelines and high temperature heating cases. It is the safest, most reliable and economical long-distance heating method, so it is widely used in the assembly and transportation of various pipelines.

For the temperature monitoring and alarm of trunk pipelines, the data can be transmitted via GSM network and optical fiber. It has the characteristics of reliable data transmission, easy network connection, low cost and high system scalability. This is an ideal solution for current remote data transfer.

Electrical heating cable is a special technology cable. It has high temperature resistance and is used in harsh heating conditions. It can withstand high temperature and high pressure, so it should be sufficient during installation. Carefully.

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.
