Application and characteristics of electric heat tracing in the shipbuilding field

With the development of science and technology, electric heat tracing technology has gradually been widely used in the shipbuilding field. Since ships need to face harsh environments such as low temperature, seawater erosion, and sea ice when transporting at sea, electric heating systems are crucial to the safety and normal operation of ships. The following introduces the application and characteristics of electric heating in the field of anti-freeze insulation in ships.

Electric heating is a new technology that uses electrical energy to convert into heat energy to prevent freezing and insulate pipes, equipment, etc. In the field of ships, electric heat tracing is mainly used in the following aspects:

1. Antifreeze and thermal insulation of ship pipelines

When a ship is in a low-temperature environment, the pipelines are easily blocked by ice, affecting the normal operation of the ship. Electric heating can effectively solve this problem. By insulating the pipeline, it can avoid freezing of the pipeline and ensure the normal operation of the ship.

2. Antifreeze and thermal insulation of ship equipment

Some equipment on ships, such as instruments, valves, etc., need to maintain normal operation in low-temperature environments. Electric heating can provide a stable heat source, ensure the normal operation of the equipment, and improve the safety of the ship.

3. Antifreeze and heat preservation of ship water supply and drainage system

The ship's water supply and drainage system is prone to freezing in low-temperature environments, affecting the crew's daily life. Electric heat tracing can provide a stable heat source for the water supply and drainage system, prevent the system from freezing, and ensure the normal life of the crew.

The application of electric heat tracing in the marine field has the following characteristics:

Energy saving and environmental protection. Electric heating technology uses electric energy to convert into thermal energy. Compared with traditional steam heating, it has higher energy utilization efficiency. At the same time, it does not produce any waste gas, waste water and other pollutants, and is more environmentally friendly.

Safe and reliable. The electric heating system has a simple structure and is easy to maintain. At the same time, because it adopts automated control, it can effectively avoid safety accidents caused by human operating errors. In addition, the electric heating system has high reliability and can operate stably under harsh environmental conditions.

Adaptable. Electric heating systems can adapt to various harsh environmental conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, corrosion, etc. At the same time, due to its modular design, it can be easily expanded and reduced to adapt to different application scenarios.

Precise control. The electric heating system adopts automatic control technology, which can accurately control the heating temperature and heating time to meet different application needs. At the same time, due to its intelligent control system, it can effectively achieve energy-saving control and safety protection.

The application of electric heating technology in anti-freeze and heat preservation in the field of ships has broad prospects and important significance. Its characteristics of energy saving, environmental protection, safety and reliability, strong adaptability and precise control make electric heat tracing an ideal choice for anti-freeze and heat preservation in the ship field.
