Winter is coming soon; it’s time to turn on the companion heating line
Thread Content
Winter has arrived once again, and it’s time to check whether the test tube line heating element is working properly! I hope this winter won’t be too cold! !
It’s time to consider whether the heat tracing pipeline is unobstructed and free from any damage
The weather is still warm now; we should address any problems as they arise. If it gets cold, it will be more difficult to solve those problems.
Mm-hmm, prepare in advance. Once it freezes, just turn it on – it’s completely pointless
We have started testing the bypass heater here.
Mixing things with heat in winter is often a headache.
Which pipelines are mainly given more heat tracing in winter? Crude oil and finishing oil? Is it necessary to install heat tracing at the inlet of the recycle hydrogen and fresh hydrogen compressors in hydrogenation refineries in northern regions? Heating is provided in the design, but it has not been used throughout the year
We inspected all the heat tracing pipelines in our installation; the steam traps were blocked, and they have all been cleared. :lol
It’s mainly easy to chat nonsense during shift handovers, hehe
During installation, there is a high degree of arbitrariness on the part of the construction team when it comes to using heat tracing wires, and these wires are usually covered by insulation, making them difficult to locate; therefore, a thorough inspection is necessary once they are put into use. In our company, an incident occurred when a thorough inspection of the process was not carried out before activating the heat tracing line; as a result, the purging steam from a vent tank was mistakenly used as the heat tracing line, which caused thermal deformation of the flare line and led to its partial detachment from the pipe rack.
