The heating methods and principles of Bitumen Tanks are as follows:
The heating methods mainly include fuel oil heating, gas heating, electric heating and thermal oil heating. Among them, thermal oil heating is a more common one.
The principle of thermal oil heating is that a heating pipe is set in the Bitumen Tank, and high-temperature thermal oil is passed into the heating coil. Under the action of the hot oil pump, the thermal oil is forced to circulate in a closed liquid in the thermal oil pipeline system. The high-temperature thermal oil is transported to the thermal equipment, and the heat energy is transferred to the low-temperature asphalt, thereby increasing the temperature of the asphalt. The thermal oil after heat dissipation and cooling returns to the heating furnace for reheating and circulation heating.
Fuel oil heating and gas heating generate heat by burning fuel oil or gas, and then transfer the heat to the asphalt through the heat exchanger. Electric heating is to set an electric heating pipe at the bottom of the Bitumen Tank, and heat the asphalt by the heat generated by the electric heating pipe.
These heating methods have their own characteristics, and users can choose the appropriate heating method according to actual needs and conditions.
