From
reliable temperature control to the potential for both heating and cooling,
thermal fluid heating systems provide flexible solution to satisfy the
requirements of even the most complex process needs.
Before making electric heat tracing design decisions,
engineers should confirm with their cable manufacturers that the sheath
temperature data provided for their cables is the result of using the plate
test.
In this web exclusive sidebar to "How to Prevent Electric Tank Heat Explosions," get 10 tips that will help avoid safety issues with natural gas piping for industrial plants.
The gas piping running into and through a facility is another overlooked hazard. Natural gas leaks can create an explosive and flammable atmosphere inside a building.
Review of important factors when comparing industrial thermal fluid heater types. Heater styles discussed include single helical coil, double helical coil and radiant convective heaters used in industrial process heating applications.
Effective selection, installation, operation and maintenance will help extend the life of your electric heat tracing system when used in industrial process heating applications.
The most common method used to determine the firing rate of individual process burners is with fuel capacity curves, which are graphs of firing rate vs. fuel pressure.
Learning the basics of steam tracing allows processors to review and compare options for each application. Although there are clearly advantages and limitations to each, this article does not attempt to compare steam and electrical heat tracing methods.
