Insulation issues in the construction of northern water intake pipes (seeking advice)
Thread Content
The facility draws water from wells to the water treatment workshop, using 219-mm diameter steel pipes, one pipe per 6 meters. The distance from the wells to the workshop is 800 meters, and the pipes need to run exposed. I would like to know the specific construction plan as well as how to handle insulation Thank you
If the pump isn’t stopped frequently, the water will keep flowing and won’t freeze; if you’re worried about freezing, steam tracing can be considered
Is steam tracing or electric tracing more suitable for this situation?
Reply to 3# apple-hua: Cost considerations still favor steam tracing
Our company has carried out a construction project in which insulation was provided by applying a layer of 4-fluoroplastic on top, with a stainless steel cover on the outside. I’m not sure if this could be useful for your needs
Now the manager needs to prepare a plan, but I don’t know how; I have no idea where to start. I’ve read a lot of materials yet still don’t understand how to do it. Ugh. . .
It’s extremely cold here; the temperature drops to as low as minus 40 degrees. Your plan for the 5th floor probably won’t work, right?
For the installation of exposed pipes, steam tracing should be used; being cautious in this regard will prevent any problems
martiantree, thank you!
Steam tracing is rather troublesome; tracing tape can be used instead, which is less costly.
