Introduction to the application of electric heating tape in the antifreeze and heat preservation of food cold storage pipelines
Apr 01, 2024
In order to ensure that the pipelines in the food cold storage do not freeze in a low temperature environment and to ensure the continuity and safety of the food processing and storage process, electric heating cables are widely used as a good antifreeze and insulation solution. Here are the reasons why electric heating cables are used for antifreeze and insulation of food cold storage pipelines.
1. Reasons for using electric heating cables for insulation of food cold storage pipelines
Prevent pipeline freezing: Pipes in food cold storage often transport cold water, coolants or other low-temperature fluids. These fluids are very easy to freeze in a low-temperature environment, causing pipeline rupture or blockage, affecting the normal operation of the cold storage.
Improve energy utilization efficiency: Electric heating cables can directly convert electrical energy into thermal energy, with high heating efficiency and reduced energy waste.
Easy installation and maintenance: The electric heating cable system has a simple design, flexible installation, can adapt to pipes of different shapes and sizes, and has low maintenance costs.
Long service life: Electric heating cables made of high-quality materials have a long service life, reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance.
Strong adaptability: Electric heating cables are suitable for different environmental conditions, including humid, corrosive and other environments.
2. How to achieve antifreeze and heat preservation for food cold storage pipes
Choose the appropriate type: According to the material, size and temperature of the pipe, choose the appropriate type of electric heating tape, such as self-limiting temperature electric heating tape or constant power electric heating tape.
Install the electric heating tape: Wrap the electric heating tape close to the surface of the pipe and fix it with a special cable tie or aluminum foil tape to ensure that the heat is evenly transferred to the pipe.
Monitoring and maintenance: Regularly check the operating status of the electric heating tape to ensure its normal operation, and clean and maintain it as needed.
In general, through the above measures, the electric heating tape can prevent the freezing of food cold storage pipes in low temperature environments, ensuring the normal operation of the cold storage and food safety.
