External coil of storage tank
Thread Content
Currently, there is a storage tank in the factory that requires external coil piping (semi-coils), and the height of the tank’s cylinder is 7 meters. Should I do it for an entire paragraph? It still needs to have upper and lower sections – are there any standards I can refer to?
Generally, the length of heat tracing pipelines should not be too long; 200 meters or less is advisable. However, if the tank does not experience continuous material inflow and outflow and the storage time is long, a small amount of steam and a limited heat exchange area are sufficient to meet the requirements for heat loss; in such cases, it is recommended to provide heating only at the bottom.
I agree with the opinion above; if it is to be done as a whole, it’s best to divide it into upper and lower sections, allowing for separate use based on the liquid level. This also enables full utilization of the heating effect of steam, thereby saving energy.
This isn’t just simple heat tracing; it’s more akin to heating, and it depends on the amount of gas used for heat tracing and the amount of condensate water.
