How to prevent liquid caustic from crystallizing in winter inside storage tanks? If it is a plastic storage tank, how can electric heating be used to transfer heat into the tank? (Plastic cannot withstand high temperatures and has poor thermal conductivity.)
A heating coil is installed inside the tank; heating the tank body directly is not allowed.
Why can’t heating be provided for the tank?
You said it yourself. Poor thermal conductivity and heat resistance.
{:3_60:} Use a small pump, add a heat exchanger for circulation, implement a control system; a temperature-controlled pump will do. Liquid caustic is usually stored in steel tanks, with coiled tubes installed for insulation.
Plastic containers are prone to aging and cracking under high-temperature conditions over time, posing potential risks； You know about the thermal conductivity of plastics – can it really be effective? You made a poor choice by opting for plastic in the first place – you only considered corrosion and ignored crystallization.
I agree with what was said on floor 6; our liquid caustic solutions all come equipped with heating tubes
Is the heating tube a U-shaped heating tube? Is it electric heating or steam heating? Will scale form on the outside of the heating tube?
