Which discipline determines the amount of heat transfer fluid or heating steam in the heat tracing system? Are there any standards that can be referred to?
It should be proposed by the power engineering team, but they will likely discuss it with the manufacturer first~~~~
It should be provided by the process team, as these choices are made based on the medium inside the pipeline that needs heating and its properties. Generally, by knowing the temperature of the medium in the pipe, it is possible to determine the specifications and quantity of heating pipes required – whether they should be single, double, or more. Depending on the pipe diameter and the properties of the heating medium, such as steam pressure and condensate pressure, it is possible to find the optimal flow rate; from this, the volume per unit time can be calculated. Finally, using the density, the amount of heating medium needed can be determined. . .
It is usually proposed by the process systems team, with the support of the piping team, as the number of steam or hot water distribution stations is related to the piping team.
A professional heat tracing service is needed; they should first calculate the amount required
