Electric accompanying heat tape is a kind of effective pipeline heat preservation and anti-freezing program, which maintains the temperature of the pipeline by converting electric energy into heat energy and supplementing the heat loss of the pipeline to be accompanied by heat. Electricity accompanying heat tape is widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, electric power, construction, steel, metallurgy, pharmacy, food, ship and other fields. When installing electric accompanying heat tape, the following rules need to be followed.
- Choose suitable electric accompanying heat tape
When choosing electric accompanied by tropical, need to consider the material of the pipe, diameter, length and working environment and other factors. Different electric accompanied by the heat is suitable for different occasions, for example, self-limiting temperature electric accompanied by the heat is suitable for the ordinary area of the pipeline antifreeze heat preservation, constant power electric accompanied by the heat is suitable for the long-distance, large caliber pipeline heat preservation and so on.
- Surface treatment
In the installation of electric accompanied by tropical before, need to pipe or equipment surface treatment. Ensure that the surface is clean, smooth, no oil, moisture and debris. This can improve the paste effect and heat conduction efficiency of electric accompanying tropical tape.
- Installation method
Electricity accompanies the heat tape can use the winding, flat or hanging and so on the way to install in the pipeline or the equipment. In the installation, need to ensure that the electric accompanied by the tropical and pipeline or equipment surface close fit, to avoid the emergence of gaps or bubbles. At the same time, also need to pay attention to the electric accompanied by tropical installation spacing, generally does not exceed the electric accompanied by tropical maximum length.
- Power connection
Electric accompanied by tropical need to be connected with the power supply to work. When connecting the power supply, need to make sure that the power supply voltage, current and other parameters and electric accompanied by the requirements of the tropical match. At the same time, also need to pay attention to the power supply wiring is correct, to avoid short circuit or leakage and so on.
- Insulation treatment
After installing the electric accompanied by the heat, need to insulate it. Can use insulating tape or insulating sleeve will be electric accompanied by tropical and pipeline or equipment isolation to avoid leakage or short circuit and so on.
6.Temperature controller installation
In order to ensure the working effect of electric accompanied by tropical, need to install temperature controller. The temperature controller can automatically adjust the working state of the electric accompanied by the heat tape according to the temperature of the pipeline or the equipment, avoiding the situation of too high or too low temperature.
- Inspection after installation
After the installation is completed, it is necessary to check the electric accompanied by the heat tape. The inspection content includes whether the connection of electric accompanying tropical is firm, whether the insulation is good, whether the temperature controller works normally and so on. If found problems, should be dealt with in time.
- Precautions
In the installation of electric accompanied by tropical, need to pay attention to the following matters: first of all, electric accompanied by tropical can not be in direct contact with high temperature objects, so as not to damage the electric accompanied by tropical. Secondly, the electric accompanied by the tropical can not be folded or twisted, so as not to affect its heat conduction efficiency. In addition, the electric accompanied by the tropical can not be used in the humid or corrosive environment, so as not to affect its service life. Finally, in the installation of electric accompanying tropical, need to follow the relevant safety regulations, to avoid the occurrence of safety accidents.
Electric accompanied by the use of tropical
In a word, the installation rules of electric accompanying heat tape include choosing suitable electric accompanying heat tape, surface treatment, installation method, power connection, insulation treatment, thermostat installation and checking after installation. When installing electric traceable heat tape, you need to follow the relevant rules and precautions to ensure its normal work and safe use. If you are sure how to install electric heat tracing tape, it is recommended to consult the advice of professionals or technicians.
