Insulation thickness selection for fuel oil transfer piping with steam trace
Keywords:
insulation, steam trace, fuel oil transfer pipeAbstract
A mathematical model was designed to select the thickness for the insulation to be installed on the fuel oil transfer pipeline with steam trace. This includes the (CM-650) fuel oil thermo-physical characteristics and flow rate. Using the thickness obtained by the model and standardized for Spintex 322-G-70S rock-fiber, a comparative analysis was conducted between the piping with steam trace and another one installed separately. The results indicated a total energy loss of 19,11 W per tube meter, improvements to the flow conditions and a reduction in the fuel temperature gradient in the first piping system.Downloads
