Mineral insulated heating cables have incomparably superior performance. In a large number of application practices in China, the advantages of mineral insulated heating cable technology in the field of industrial production are summarized, that is, mineral insulated heating cable technology should be used to solve key cases.

1 High temperature characteristics

Long operating temperature exceeds 150 ℃, whether it is electric heating or electric heating of the pipeline, the organic insulation electric heating method is used, and the service life is definitely not long. In order for the device to achieve a reliable long service life and achieve the expected technical and economic advantages, it is necessary to use heating cables with inorganic insulation MI.

(1) After the electric heating of the oil field fired wells (high temperature working area + 600 °C) failed, we used the MI heating cable technology to meet the requirements of the owner.

(2) Molten salt pipelines and tanks used for energy storage in solar power plants require an operating temperature of + 400 °C.

(3) When special steel pipes are welded in the field, the weld temperature should reach 100 °C for 20 minutes before the first root welding can be started. We use mineral insulated heating cables which are heated to 400 ~ 500 °C to solve the problem.

A mineral insulated heating cable is used to penetrate the collection pipeline to realize internal heating, and only the mineral insulated heating cable has the characteristics of direct penetration into the collection pipeline. First, the electric heating efficiency reaches 100%, which is more important, if the pre-assembly line is clogged with condensate, this can no longer be considered an accident, because it is very convenient to deal with and eliminate clogging. Patiently supply power to a mineral insulated heating cable to melt a layer of liquid around the mineral insulated heating cable, and then pump oil with heat to open the pipeline. Or have enough patience to supply power to the MI heating cable for a long time (such as 30 ~ 48 hours) until the blocked oil in the pipeline returns to temperature. The move could once and for all allay the concerns of oil field leaders.

5 excellent SD can replace a large number of traditional tubular electric heaters

SD is an important parameter of the heating element, the unit of measurement is w/° Cm' (amount of electric heat per square centimeter). Traditional SD tubular electric heater, national standard 3 ~ 7. MI heating cables can reach 0.1 ~ 10. The versions of heating cables with MI are significantly wider than those of visible ones. Especially when heating viscous and thick liquids, the characteristic advantages are more significant.

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.
