Design of Armoured Electric Heating MI Armored
The method of calculating the heat required by the indirect heating method using the MI heating cables is as follows: calculate the heat release of the heated liquid while maintaining a set temperature, and use mineral insulated heating cables with MI to supply the heat corresponding to this value. However, if the mineral insulated heating cable emits unlimited heat, overheating will result in aging, shutting down, etc. D., so choose a mineral insulated heating cable with the appropriate characteristics.

The method of calculating the heat required by the indirect heating method using the MI heating cables is as follows: calculate the heat release of the heated liquid while maintaining a set temperature, and use mineral insulated heating cables with MI to supply the heat corresponding to this value. However, if the mineral insulated heating cable emits unlimited heat, overheating will result in aging, shutting down, etc. D., so choose a mineral insulated heating cable with the appropriate characteristics.
The design sequence is as follows:
1. Calculate the heat release of pipes, pipelines, etc., transporting and storing heated liquids
Heat dissipated by pipelines and cylindrical pipes (i. E. Required heat), equal to:
W = W * L
In the formula: w is heat per unit length, W/m;
L -- Pipeline length, m.
λ-thermal conductivity coefficient of insulation material, kcal/mch℃;
T-maintenance temperature, ° C;
T0-ambient temperature, ° C;
α-surface heat dissipation coefficient, standard value 20, kcal/m2h °C;
r0 is the outer radius of the insulation layer, m;
r is the outer radius of the pipe, m;
μ is the heating efficiency, generally 0.7-1.0
2. Determine the number of circuits by the total electrical power and voltage of the system. Calculate the approximate length of the cable depending on the temperature of the heating cable sheath.
3 Depending on the heating power and the applied voltage, the resistance of the primary circuit conductor can be obtained, and then the cable used can be selected according to the cable length and the resistance of the conductor.
In the event that the type and power of the MI heating cable cannot be obtained, it is necessary to study and analyze the parameters such as the voltage used, the number of circuits, the number of veins, the thickness of the insulation layer.
4. After selecting different parameters, the cable sheath temperature should be checked not to exceed the allowable value

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.
