New ideas for energy savings – Creative approaches to \"Improving heating in tank areas\"

2017-03-02View Original

Thread Content

When crude oil is stored in tanks, it needs to be heated to maintain its fluidity. Steam is used for intermittent heating on a frequent basis, and when steam is utilized, water hammer often occurs, damaging the heating coil. Improvement method: Use the waste heat from the heat generation device for heating. For example, in the case of catalyzed heat transfer water, if there is excess heat after it has been supplied to other devices, it can certainly be considered as a heat source for crude oil tanks. The temperature of the heat transfer water (deionized water) is sufficient, resulting in minimal damage to the coil. In the north, it might be better to use it. What are the oil temperature and heating temperature for large crude oil tanks? http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1293150-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Net)

A similar method has been used ever since~~~

The crude oil here is heated by steam; using water for heating results in a very slow increase in the oil’s temperature, and the temperature rise is not optimal.
