In the example of the snowmelt trench of the railway station in the north and the deicing of the canopy cornices, the use of heating cables for snow melting and anti-icing of the roof of large public buildings is presented. The main part of the station building has a roof height of 22 m and an area of about 2900 sq. m., has a light steel structure and a 0.4-0.5 m wide gutter. Podiums are located on both sides of the main building. Building of the station building The roof height of the podium part is 16 m, the area is 1000 sq. m. and 1700 sq. m., monolithic reinforced concrete slab structure. The shelter is a column-free platform with a span of 20 m, light steel structure, with an area of approximately 7000 m2 and a shed drain. In order to reduce the corrosive effect of melt water on a light steel roof and prevent ice from hanging on the canopy cornice and injuring people, the project provides for the laying of heating cables along the roof chute of the main structure and on the carport of the canopy. Canopy for snow melting and ice control.

The heating cable power is generally 10-20 W/m2, and the heat consumption per unit area is recommended during the snowmelt period of 200-250 W/m2. When calculating the heat consumption of the snow melting system, the following factors should be taken into account: installation location, installation method and area. Studies show that depending on the stowage area and the melting rate of the electric heating cable, the range of heat consumption per unit of actual stowage area can be 175-250 W/m2. Two types of electric heating cables for melting ice and snow are optional: 20 W/m rated single core electric heating cable, 18.5 W/m rated double core electric heating cable.

When using heating cables for heating, they are laid in the same way as for low-temperature water floor radiant heating: false, parallel, and two-parallel types, when used for pipeline heating-wave, linear, and spiral types. Mainly used.

Because the thermal power per unit area of heating cable is large when used for snow melting, and the stowage area is mostly narrow and strip-shaped, one or more heating cables are usually laid in parallel depending on the length of the gasket. Area.

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.
