Heater heating pipeline electric accompanied by heat insulation practices

Heater heating systems are an essential part of many homes and commercial buildings. However, under the low temperature environment, the heating pipes are very prone to freezing problems, thus affecting the heating effect and even causing safety hazards. In order to ensure the reliability and high efficiency of the heating system, electric heat tracing insulation technology has become an important solution. This article will elaborate the specific practice of electric accompanying heat preservation for heater heating pipeline from professional point of view.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The principle of electric accompanied by heat preservation

The electric accompanying heat insulation system utilizes electric energy to be converted into heat energy, and through the electric accompanying heat tape installed on the surface of the pipeline, the heat will be evenly spread to the whole surface of the pipeline, so as to prevent the pipeline from freezing due to the low-temperature environment. This way not only can effectively control the temperature of the pipeline, but also has the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection.

Main steps

1.Determine the demand and design program

First of all, it is necessary to determine the demand of electric accompanying heat preservation according to the actual situation, including the length, diameter, material of pipeline and the lowest temperature of the surrounding environment and so on. Then, according to these data to develop the electric trace heat system design program. The design program should include the power selection of electric accompanied by the tropical power, laying method, temperature control system configuration and so on.

2. Select the appropriate electric accompanied by tropical

The electric accompanies the tropical is the core of the whole system, choose the right type and specification is vital. The common electric accompanies the heat tape has the constant power electric accompanies the heat tape, the self-limiting temperature electric accompanies the heat tape and so on. Self-limiting temperature electric accompanying tropical because it can automatically adjust the power output according to the temperature change, is widely used in heating pipeline insulation.

3. Preparation before installation

Before formal installation, the following preparations need to be made:

Clean the surface of the pipe: make sure that the surface of the pipe is free of oil, dust and other impurities, in order to ensure that the electric accompanied by the heat tape and the full contact of the pipe.

Check the fixed situation of the pipeline: confirm whether the pipeline is firm, and carry out the necessary reinforcement treatment, to avoid the pipeline movement caused by the electric accompanied by tropical damage.

4. Installation of electric accompanied by tropical

Laying electric accompanied by tropical: According to the design program, the electric accompanied by tropical along the length of the pipeline flat or winding on the surface of the pipeline. For longer pipes, spiral winding can be used to ensure uniform heating.

Fixing the electric accompanying heat tape: Use aluminum foil tape or tie to fix the electric accompanying heat tape on the pipeline, pay attention not to over tighten the bundle, so as not to damage the electric accompanying heat tape.

Connect the power supply: according to the electrical specification, connect the power supply line of the electric accompanying heat to the distribution box, and install the corresponding leakage protection device.

5.Installation of temperature control system

In order to improve the efficiency and safety of electric heat tracing system, temperature control system should be installed. Temperature control system can monitor the temperature of pipeline in real time, and start and stop the electric accompanying heat tape automatically according to the need, so as to realize the intelligent management.

6. Installation of heat preservation layer

In the electric accompanies the tropical installation to complete, needs in its outside to cover a layer of heat preservation material, such as glass wool, rock wool and so on. The role of the heat preservation layer is to reduce the heat loss and improve the heat preservation effect of the system. In the installation of insulation layer, need to pay attention to its thickness and sealing to ensure the best thermal insulation performance.

7. System testing and commissioning

After the installation, should carry on the system comprehensive test and debugging, including the heating effect of the electric accompanied by the tropical belt, the response speed of the temperature control system and so on. If found problems, need to timely adjust and repair, ensure the normal operation of the system.

Maintenance

Electric accompanied by heat insulation system maintenance and maintenance is equally important. Regularly check the working condition of electric accompanying heat tape and temperature control system, and deal with the abnormality in time. In addition, before the beginning of heating season every year, it is recommended to carry out a comprehensive system testing to ensure the stability and safety of winter heating.

Fourth, the conclusion

Through the above steps, the electric accompanying heat insulation system of heater heating pipes can effectively prevent the pipes from freezing and ensure the normal operation of the heating system. Reasonable design and installation can not only enhance the heating effect, but also prolong the service life of heating equipment. Therefore, in the heat preservation treatment of heating pipes, the electric trace heat insulation technology is undoubtedly an efficient and reliable solution.
