Introduction to the application areas of electric heat tracing

Electric heat tracing is a temperature control technology that converts electrical energy into heat energy to supplement the heat of pipelines, tanks, and equipment, achieving antifreeze insulation, heating, viscosity reduction and anti-clogging. With its advantages of uniform temperature, energy saving and environmental protection, and flexible installation, it has been widely used in various industries.

1. Oil and gas industry

Pipelines transporting crude oil, heavy oil, viscous oil, and condensate are highly susceptible to freezing and solidification due to temperature drops, leading to increased viscosity and blockages. Natural gas pipelines, wellheads, and branch pipes for oil and gas valves and instruments are also prone to freezing and blockages in winter. Electric heat tracing can maintain the temperature of the transported medium throughout the entire process, ensuring the stable operation of oilfield gathering and transportation pipelines, long-distance oil and gas pipelines, storage tanks, and loading/unloading arms. It is also suitable for pipeline scenarios where intermittent operations cannot drain the medium.

2. Chemical industry

Suitable for heat preservation and heating of pipelines, reaction vessels, storage tanks, and transfer pumps for various chemical raw materials, corrosive fluids, and easily crystallizing materials. It precisely controls temperature to prevent pipeline blockage and ensure continuous and stable chemical production, especially in situations where materials are prone to crystallization, decomposition, solidification, or freezing upon cooling. It can be used in pipelines for chlorine, acid and alkali solutions, resins, and waxes.

3. Power and Energy Industry

In thermal power plants and new energy power plants, water treatment pipelines, desulfurization and denitrification pipelines, flue gas sampling pipelines, instrument conduits, and water tanks are protected against freezing and insulation. In substations, outdoor equipment, sampling pipelines, and cooling water circuits are protected against freezing in winter to avoid pipeline freezing and cracking failures and ensure that power plant instruments can collect data normally in low-temperature environments.

4. Metallurgy and Heavy Industry

Cooling water pipelines, dust removal pipelines, additive conveying pipelines in metallurgical plants, outdoor process pipelines in the plant area, and material silos are equipped with heat tracing and insulation to prevent low-temperature media from freezing and ensure the uninterrupted operation of the smelting auxiliary systems.

5. Food processing industry

Insulation is used for pipelines transporting viscous food ingredients such as edible oils, syrups, chocolates, and jams to prevent the materials from thickening and becoming difficult to transport when cooled; it also provides freeze protection and insulation for food production equipment, cleaning water pipes, and storage tanks. The heating system provides gentle temperature control, preventing localized overheating and protecting the quality of food materials.

6. Municipal and Construction Sector

Prevent freezing of municipal water supply and drainage networks, fire-fighting pipelines, and rainwater pipelines; melt snow and ice on roofs, ramps, and parking lots; prevent freezing of central air conditioning water systems and outdoor fire hydrants; prevent condensation on pipelines in venues and parks to reduce damage to facilities caused by low temperatures and freezing.

7. Processing of agricultural and sideline products

Insulation and freeze protection are provided for fluid transport pipelines used in oil, starch, honey, and fruit and vegetable processing to ensure smooth processing of agricultural and sideline products and prevent materials from cooling and solidifying, which could affect production and transportation.

8. Insulation for instruments and meters

Small sampling branch pipes for various industrial testing instruments are prone to freezing and blockage due to their narrow diameter and poor medium flow. They can also be used for small components and low-power temperature-limited heating scenarios that do not require high-precision constant temperature control, protecting outdoor instruments to work stably in low-temperature environments.
