Exploring the Design Method of Jacket Heat Tracing Partition Plate
The jacket system composed of components such as the inner tube and jacket outer tube is commonly used in jacket heat tracing in chemical plant.For complex jacket systems with branch lines,a partition plate needs to be added between the inner tube and the jacket to ensure a single flow direction of the heat tracing carrier and good heat tracing effect.This paper combines case analysis to explore the design ideas of jacket heat tracing partition plate,introduces the requirements for partition plate size,material and setting spacing,compares and analyzes the schemes of setting partition plates for single pump inlet and outlet jacket pipelines,and shows that by optimizing the partition plate setting scheme,it can achieve energy savings of materials and heat tracing media while ensuring the heat tracing effect.Three solutions are proposed to address the problems encountered during the construction of jacket pipelines.
