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.

According to the statistics of the Hydrometeorological Center, the average daily minimum temperature at the location of the CNPC oil depot 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.
Many factors should be considered when choosing electric heating method, such as applicability, economy, power conditions, maximum maintenance temperature, environmental conditions, etc. D. Design principles in practical applications are analyzed below.
The heat resistance class of electric heating products should be selected according to the operation temperature of the pipeline and the periodic maximum operating temperature., since the freezing point temperature of the PX pipeline is about 15 °C, it is more appropriate to increase the accuracy and temperature control margin by 5 °C, so the service temperature is set at 20 °C. The main function of the pipeline is the transportation of raw materials, so the maximum operating temperature is the steam purging temperature of the pipeline 180 ° C.
The type of electric heating should be selected according to the power supply conditions and application characteristics. According to the application situation in recent years, the long-term self-regulating power supply and heating mainly use the power mode with 1/3 switching distance once, and the three-phase power supply and heating cable are laid in the same direction. However, three-phase balance is difficult to achieve in practical applications, resulting in increased neutral current and low-voltage network losses. In addition, due to the design features of the self-regulating heating cable (PTC characteristics), a large starting current (5-8 times) will be generated when the power is turned on, the maximum use length is limited, the power of the control element is large, and the heating power is small 1. High-polymer materials age easily and reduce thermal efficiency. Therefore, for main heating networks, three-phase sequential constant power electric heating is more suitable than self-regulating electric heating.
The electric heating system of the PH pipeline was put into operation within one year, and the actual operation shows that the project is easy to operate and reliable.

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.

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.
