Steam distribution station, tank farm, heat tracing, drain station
Thread Content
A steam distribution station is installed within the tank area, and the heat tracing pipelines start from this station. Is it also necessary to install a hydrophobic station, so that the heat-tracing pipeline ends there? Please give some advice, it’s urgent, thanks! ! !

It is also necessary to install hydrophobic stations; when selecting hydrophobic valves, it is important to explain the site conditions to the manufacturer so that they can provide a suitable solution to ensure proper heat tracing.
Install hydrophobic stations; otherwise, what should be done with those terminal units that don’t have heating? They’re scattered everywhere, and having steam terminals in such a disorganized manner is not aesthetically pleasing.
Based on the length of the heat-traced pipelines and the lowest temperatures in winter, the most suitable supply trays and condensate recovery trays are designed to ensure effective heat tracing
The steam distribution tray is the source, while the condensate return tray is the terminal. Collect the condensate centrally. The return tray is equipped with a steam trap, and there are manual valves at both the front and back. A drain valve is also required between the manual valves and the steam trap to facilitate daily operation.
