Application of electric heating cables in high temperature equipment

In the industrial field, the normal operation of high-temperature equipment is crucial to production. In certain cases, high-temperature equipment also requires heating measures to ensure its stable operation and performance. The application of electric heating cables in high-temperature equipment has attracted much attention.

The need for heating in high-temperature equipment

High-temperature equipment may face the following situations during operation and need heating:

1. Prevent the solidification or crystallization of the medium inside the equipment. For example, in the chemical industry, after some high-temperature reactors are shut down, if the internal materials are not discharged in time, they may solidify in a low-temperature environment, causing equipment blockage.

2. It maintains the uniformity of equipment temperature. Due to the influence of internal structure and external environment, high-temperature equipment is prone to uneven temperature, which not only affects the performance and life of the equipment, but also may lead to unstable product quality. Heating can make the equipment temperature more uniform, improve operating efficiency and product quality.

3. Prevent condensation or ice on the outside of the equipment. On the outside of some high-temperature equipment, condensation or ice may occur due to low ambient temperature or high humidity, affecting the appearance and service life of the equipment and posing safety hazards. Heat tracing can prevent this phenomenon and improve the safety and reliability of the equipment.

Features and advantages of electric heating cables

1. Accurate temperature control: Electric heating cables can accurately control the temperature according to demand to ensure that the equipment is always in the appropriate temperature range. With the help of temperature sensors and controllers, the heating power can be automatically adjusted to maintain a stable temperature.

2. Easy installation: small size, light weight, flexible installation. It can be customized and installed according to the shape and layout of the equipment without affecting the normal operation and maintenance of the equipment.

3. Energy saving and environmental protection: Compared with traditional heating methods, it has higher energy utilization rate, can directly convert electrical energy into thermal energy, and reduce energy waste. And no pollutants are generated during operation, which meets environmental protection requirements.

4. Safe and reliable: It has good insulation and waterproof performance and can operate safely in harsh environments. It is also equipped with a variety of safety protection devices, such as overload protection, short circuit protection, etc.

Application cases of electric heating cables in high-temperature equipment

1. High-temperature reactor heating: In the chemical industry, high-temperature reactors are common. To prevent the internal materials from solidifying after shutdown, electric heating cables are often installed on the outside of the reactor. Heating can keep the materials at a certain temperature to ensure that the equipment can be restarted and operate normally.

2. High-temperature pipeline heating: In the petroleum, chemical and other industries, high-temperature pipelines transport various high-temperature media. To prevent the medium from cooling and solidifying during transportation, electric heating cables are installed on the outside of the pipeline to maintain the medium temperature and ensure fluidity and transportation efficiency.

3. High-temperature tank heating: High-temperature tanks in the petroleum, chemical and other industries are used to store high-temperature media. To prevent the medium from solidifying or crystallizing in a low-temperature environment, electric heating cables are installed on the outside of the tank to maintain the medium temperature and ensure the normal operation of the tank and the quality of the medium.

In short, the application advantages of electric heating cables in high-temperature equipment are obvious, which ensures the stable operation of industrial production. With the continuous advancement of technology, it is believed that electric heating cables will play a greater role in the future.
