I. Core Functions

1. Ensuring Media Fluidity
   Crude oil (especially high-viscosity or waxy crude oil) and some product oils tend to increase in viscosity, solidify, or precipitate wax at low temperatures, leading to pipeline blockages and increased transportation resistance. The equipment maintains the media temperature above the critical flow temperature (e.g., above the "wax precipitation point" or "freezing point" of crude oil) to ensure smooth transportation.
2. Preventing Media Deterioration
   Some product oils (e.g., diesel) may stratify or crystallize at low temperatures, affecting quality. Heating maintains their stable physical and chemical properties, avoiding quality degradation caused by temperature fluctuations.
3. Improving Transportation Efficiency
   Reducing media viscosity lowers pipeline friction loss, decreases pump energy consumption, and minimizes maintenance costs associated with blockages.

II. Typical Application Scenarios

• Long-distance pipeline transportation: Such as cross-regional crude oil trunklines and product oil pipelines, particularly essential in cold regions (e.g., northern winters, high-latitude areas) or for high-viscosity crude oil transportation.
• Tank-to-pipeline connections: Heating prevents media from solidifying at interfaces when transferring oil from tank trucks or storage tanks to pipelines.
• Oilfield gathering pipelines: Heating prevents crude oil from blocking short-distance transportation from wells to gathering stations due to temperature drops.
• Industrial plant pipelines: Product oil pipe racks in refineries and chemical plants require heating to maintain media temperature for subsequent processing or loading.

III. Technical Principles

The equipment transfers electrical energy, thermal energy (e.g., steam, hot water), or fuel chemical energy (e.g., natural gas, fuel oil) to the media in the pipeline through energy conversion. Main heating methods include:

 

1. Direct Heating
   Heating elements (e.g., electric heating rods, flame heaters) directly contact the pipeline or media, transferring heat via conduction or radiation (suitable for small-diameter pipelines or local heating).
2. Indirect Heating
   Heat is transferred to the media via an intermediate heat carrier (e.g., thermal oil, steam) through heat exchangers (e.g., double-pipe or plate heat exchangers). This avoids direct contact between heating elements and flammable/explosive media, enhancing safety (widely used for flammable media like crude oil and product oils).
3. Induction Heating
   Utilizes electromagnetic induction to generate eddy currents in the pipeline itself, causing it to heat up ("pipeline induction heating"). This method offers high thermal efficiency, uniform heating, and no contact with the media, making it suitable for scenarios requiring high cleanliness and safety.

IV. Main Equipment Types

Based on energy sources and structure, common types include:

 

• Electric Heating Pipeline Equipment: Uses electrical energy via resistance or induction heating. It offers high temperature control precision (within ±1ºC) and is suitable for small-to-medium power scenarios or areas without fuel supply.
• Fuel/Gas Heating Equipment: Uses diesel or natural gas as fuel to heat heat carriers (e.g., thermal oil) via burners. Ideal for high-power, long-distance pipelines, it provides strong heating capacity but requires a fuel supply system.
• Steam Heating Equipment: Uses industrial steam as a heat source to heat pipeline media via double-pipe heat exchangers. Suitable for plants with existing steam networks (e.g., refineries), it has lower costs but is limited by steam parameters.
• Intelligent Temperature-Controlled Heating Systems: Integrate temperature sensors and PLC control systems to real-time monitor media temperature and automatically adjust heating power, enabling energy efficiency and precise temperature control (a mainstream trend in modern pipeline heating equipment).

V. Key Technical Features

1. Safety: Designed for the flammable and explosive nature of crude oil and product oils, with explosion-proof and leak-proof features (e.g., explosion-proof motors, pressure monitoring devices) to comply with international safety standards such as ATEX and IEC.
2. Energy Efficiency: Adopts high-efficiency heat exchangers and insulation materials (e.g., rock wool, aluminum silicate) to reduce heat loss, with some equipment achieving thermal efficiency above 85%.
3. Adaptability: Customizable in power (from tens of kW to hundreds of kW) and structure based on pipeline diameter (DN50-DN1000+), media type (crude oil, diesel, etc.), and ambient temperature (-40ºC to 50ºC).
4. Reliability: Resistant to media corrosion and pipeline vibration, with core components (e.g., heating tubes, pumps) made of temperature and corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., 316 stainless steel, Inconel alloys) to ensure long-term stable operation.

VI. Industry Significance

This equipment serves as a "lifeline guarantee" for petroleum energy transportation, particularly in cold regions or high-viscosity crude oil extraction and transportation, directly impacting the stability of energy supply chains. With the integration of new energy and intelligent technologies, future equipment will develop toward low energy consumption, unmanned operation, and remote monitoring, further improving transportation efficiency and safety.
