Conditions to be confirmed when using MI armor heating cables to design heating systems

In various industries, in the production, transportation, storage and other facilities of raw materials and finished products, heating and heat preservation are often installed in collisions with high viscosity liquids and solidification at room temperature. In recent years, with the development of system automation and energy saving, the method of using electricity as a heat source has gradually become mainstream.

In various industries, manufacturing, transportation, storage facilities, and other facilities of raw materials and finished products, heating and heat preservation are often installed in collisions with high viscosity liquids and solidification at room temperature. In recent years, with the development of system automation and energy saving, the method of using electricity as a heat source has gradually become mainstream.

Heating cables with MI armor use magnesium oxide as insulator and metal shell. In terms of structural characteristics, it has the most suitable characteristics as a heating cable in terms of heat resistance, fire resistance, aging resistance, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.

Heating of the engine by means of electric heating MI consists in the removal of the joule heat generated by the current passing through the core of the heating cable with MI to the accompanying pipelines and processing facilities for heating the liquid in order to preserve heat. The principle is very simple. The required amount of heat is determined by the temperature difference with the environment, and the heat dissipation is determined by the heat preservation design. The temperature increase when power is turned on is preferably 40-50 °C, and the design effect is better.

For the design of heating systems using MI cables, the following conditions must be determined:

Liquid type and its properties, flow rate, etc. D.;

Use and purpose of equipment, as well as heating and liquid maintenance temperature;

Meteorological environmental conditions (minimum, maximum temperature, wind speed, etc.);

Pipeline size, type and length and technological settings;

Styling conditions, construction, outbuildings, construction methods, etc. D. Installation sites;

Insulation structure, whether there are any requirements for insulating material and thickness;

Operation, control conditions, management methods, etc.;

Power supply method and location of power supply;

Whether explosion protection and environmental conditions for installation are required;

Economic calculations need to know: depreciation period, interest rate, labor costs, terms of use, energy costs and other data.

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.
