How to calculate the heat tracing area of equipment

This post was last edited by The fox is confused on 2010-10-15 at 19:38. Two horizontal vessels were designed in the northern area: one is a liquid separation tank and the other is a water seal tank. To prevent freezing in winter, these vessels need to be heated with hot water. Moreover, these two units are located in the flare area, where the incoming materials contain large amounts of liquefied gas; a certain temperature is required to separate this liquefied gas. How should the quantity of heating pipes needed for insulating the outer walls of these horizontal vessels be calculated? How can the heating area be determined? I earnestly request guidance from those who know more about this. It’s urgent – I’m waiting online
I’m not quite sure. Could you explain it in more detail?
Heating tracing stays for heating tracing, and heating stays for heating. To separate the flammable gas in the separation tank, internal coil heating is usually required. External insulation and heating for equipment are necessary in the north.
