Heat tracingIt is a product that can provide heat tracing and insulation for pipes, containers and other equipment, which compensates for the heat loss of the heat tracing medium through resistance heating, so as to keep the temperature of the medium within a certain range. Heat tracing has the advantages of easy installation, high heat tracing efficiency and long service life, and is widely used in petrochemical, electric power, construction and other industries. The following will introduce the applicable occasions of heat tracing, as well as the selection and use methods in different occasions.
1.Industrial pipe heating.
In the industrial field, many pipes need to maintain a certain temperature to ensure the fluidity of the medium and prevent crystallization clogging. For example, in the petrochemical industry, oil, chemical raw materials and other media need to flow in the pipeline, if the pipeline temperature is too low, it will cause the medium to condense or crystallize, affecting production efficiency and safety. At this time, heat tracing can be used to trace the heat of the pipe to keep the temperature of the medium in the pipe within the appropriate range.
When choosing an industrial pipe heat tracing, it is necessary to consider the material, diameter, medium temperature, ambient temperature and other factors of the pipe. In general, for small pipes, self-regulating heat tracing is an option;For large pipes, constant power heat tracing is an option. At the same time, it is also necessary to reasonably arrange the heat trace according to the layout and length of the pipeline to ensure that the heat tracing effect is uniform.
2.Tank heating.
In the petrochemical, chemical, electric power and other industries, many storage tanks need to maintain a certain temperature to ensure the storage and use of the medium. For example, in oil storage, if the oil temperature is too low, it will cause the oil to condense or crystallize, affecting the quality and use of the oil. In this case, the heat trace can be used to trace the heat of the storage tank to keep the temperature of the medium in the storage tank within the appropriate range.
When choosing a tank heat tracing, you need to consider factors such as the size, shape, medium temperature, and ambient temperature of the storage tank. In general, for small storage tanks, self-regulating heat tracing is an option;For large tanks, a constant power heat trace is an option. At the same time, it is also necessary to reasonably arrange the heat trace according to the layout and structure of the storage tank to ensure that the heat tracing effect is uniform.
3.Building heating and heat tracing.
In the construction field, many pipes and equipment need to maintain a certain temperature to ensure the normal use of the building. For example, in winter heating, the heating ducts need to maintain a certain temperature to ensure a comfortable indoor temperature. In this case, heat tracing can be used to trace the heating pipes to keep the temperature of the medium in the pipes within the appropriate range.
When choosing a building heating cable, it is necessary to consider factors such as the material, diameter, medium temperature, and ambient temperature of the pipe. In general, for small pipes, self-regulating heat tracing is an option;For large pipes, constant power heat tracing is an option. At the same time, it is also necessary to reasonably arrange the heat trace according to the layout and length of the pipeline to ensure that the heat tracing effect is uniform.
In addition to the above-mentioned occasions, heat tracing is also suitable for other occasions that require heat tracing and insulation, such as:
1.Fire pipes: In cold areas, the water in the fire pipes may freeze, affecting the effectiveness of fire fighting. The use of heat tracing can ensure that the water in the fire pipe does not freeze and ensure the normal operation of the fire protection system.
2.Solar water heater: In winter, the pipes of the solar water heater may freeze, affecting the normal use of the water heater. The use of heat tracing can ensure that the pipes of the solar water heater do not freeze and ensure the normal operation of the water heater.
3.Food processing: In food processing, many pipes and equipment need to maintain a certain temperature to ensure the quality and safety of food. The use of heat tracing can ensure that the temperature of pipes and equipment is within the appropriate range to ensure the normal operation of food processing.
In short, heat tracing has a wide range of applications, it can provide heat tracing insulation for all kinds of pipes, vessels and equipment to ensure their normal operation. When selecting and using heat tracing, it is necessary to select the appropriate type and specification of the heating cable according to the specific occasion and requirements, and carry out the correct installation and use. At the same time, it is also necessary to regularly inspect and maintain the heat trace to ensure its heat tracing effect and safety.
