Electric heating is the best choice for fire insulation of pipelines at oil depots

Low temperature self-regulating electric heating cable and self-limiting temperature electric heating cable, the heating cable is in the form of a strip with a width of more than 11mm, which can cling to the surface of the pipe and use electrical energy for heating. The environment in the spray pipe to keep warm plays the role of keeping heat and antifreeze in a short time. In addition, the electric heating belt has the advantages of simple installation, easy maintenance, 24-hour maintenance, high automation, low operation and maintenance costs, etc. D., has good economic and social advantages, and is very suitable for large-scale promotion.

With the rapid development of the social economy, a large number of energy and other infrastructures have been built. Fires broke out at these oil depots and the fires were fast-paced and violent, and the fires caused great harm. If effective measures are not taken in time, there is a danger of an explosion. They not only damage their own property, but also endanger the lives and property of the people around them. Therefore, the fire protection system of the tank farm has become a primary task.

Since the specific weight of diesel fuel and other substances is lighter than water and insoluble, it cannot be extinguished with water in the event of a fire. A foam fire extinguishing system is commonly used to cover the surface of the oil with a certain thickness of the foam extinguishing agent to isolate the contact surface between the flame and the air to achieve the purpose of fire extinguishing. At the same time, when a fire occurs in the area of the tank, the temperature of the oil tank will rise due to fire, which will damage the stability of the tank. If it is not cooled, there will be a danger of an explosion or a closed rupture, which will create great difficulties in extinguishing the fire. Therefore, it is necessary to spray water to cool the valve when extinguishing a fire. To extinguish a fire in the area of the tank, two systems are usually installed: a water fire extinguishing system and a foam fire extinguishing system.

In winter, however, in freezing temperatures, the water and foam in the fire protection system can freeze. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out electric heating and insulation of fire extinguishing pipelines. As tank parks tend to be located in marginal areas with half-completed auxiliary facilities, electric heating has become the first choice for heating due to its low maintenance costs and easy and safe operation.

The principle of antifreeze technology for electric heating of the fire pipe is to attach the heating cable to the outside of the pipe to generate electricity, transfer the heat of the liquid in the pipe, and interact with the pipe's outer insulation layer to compensate for and maintain the temperature of the liquid in the pipe to achieve the calculated temperature level. The purpose of antifreeze for fire-fighting water supply facilities is to prevent the water in the pipe from freezing into the ice, so an electric heating cable is only needed to maintain the water temperature in the object above 0 ° C.

Low temperature self-regulating electric heating cable and self-limiting temperature electric heating cable, the heating cable is in the shape of a strip with a width of more than 11mm, which can cling to the surface of the pipe and use electrical energy for heating. The environment in the spray pipe to keep warm plays the role of keeping heat and antifreeze in a short time. In addition, the electric heating belt has the advantages of simple installation, easy maintenance, 24-hour maintenance, high automation, low operation and maintenance costs, etc. D., has good economic and social advantages, and is very suitable for large-scale promotion.

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.
