Working Principle

The fluid explosion-proof electric heater is a device that converts electrical energy into thermal energy to heat the material to be heated. During operation, the low-temperature fluid medium enters the input port through the pipeline under pressure, flows along the specific heat exchange channel inside the electric heating container, following the path designed based on fluid thermodynamics, and takes away the high-temperature thermal energy generated by the electric heating element during operation, raising the temperature of the heated medium. The outlet of the electric heater obtains the high-temperature medium required by the process. The internal control system of the electric heater automatically adjusts the output power of the electric heater based on the temperature sensor signal at the outlet, ensuring uniform temperature of the medium at the outlet. When the heating element overheats, the independent overheat protection device immediately cuts off the heating power supply, preventing the heated material from overheating, coking, deteriorating, or carbonizing, and in severe cases, preventing the heating element from burning out, effectively extending the service life of the electric heater.

6. Due to the advanced explosion-proof structure, the equipment can be widely used in chemical, military, petroleum, natural gas, offshore platforms, ships, mining areas, and other places requiring explosion-proof measures.

Main Uses in the Mechanical Electric Heating Industry

The explosion-proof electric heater is a high-efficiency, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and safe explosion-proof industrial electric heating furnace developed based on advanced foreign electric heater technology. This electric heating furnace is a working method that uses electrical energy as the power source to convert its internal high-voltage temperature system into thermal energy.
Generally speaking, the explosion-proof electric heating furnace uses heat transfer oil as the heat carrier. The internal high-voltage temperature system, through the circulation pump of the heat transfer oil, after forced processing by electrical energy, transfers the heat of the internal high-voltage temperature to one or more electric heating devices. After passing through the transition function in the high-voltage temperature system of the electric heating device, the heat transfer oil begins a new heating work efficiency, that is, it returns to the electric heating furnace through the circulation pump again to absorb heat a second time and transmit it to the internal high-voltage temperature system of the electric heating furnace. Through this cyclic work, the electric heating furnace continuously transfers heat, enabling the internal high-voltage temperature system of the electric heating furnace to obtain a continuous high-temperature energy source, thereby meeting the heating requirements of the heating medium during the high-temperature process.
The characteristics of the explosion-proof electric heater in the mechanical electric heating industry are as follows:
1. It can achieve continuous transfer of the internal high-voltage temperature system, ensuring that the internal high-voltage temperature system of the electric heating device uses electrical energy to obtain a higher temperature energy source, meeting the high-temperature heating requirements of the medium during operation, and maximizing its effect.
2. This equipment has a precise structure, light volume, light weight, and convenient installation. During heating, it does not produce harmful pollution to the surrounding environment, and can obtain relatively high heating temperature and efficiency under relatively low working pressure.
3. High level of intelligence. The relevant technical personnel of China Electric Heater Network adopt an advanced intelligent heating working mode, that is, by setting the original working temperature for the high-temperature voltage medium inside the gas electric heater. In experiments, this temperature control accuracy can reach a range of ±2°C to ±0.2°C.
4. The internal high-pressure system of this equipment can provide alarm signals such as operation, high temperature, fault, and shutdown to the DCS system, and can also accept automatic and shutdown operation commands issued by the DCS. Moreover, a reliable and safe monitoring device has been added to the electric heater system. However, the price of this electric heater is relatively high.
5. The electrical equipment has multiple associated interfaces, which can effectively monitor the heat transfer oil pump, the temperature and flow of the heat transfer oil, and the internal high-voltage pressure. Thus achieving an ideal reform of the explosion-proof electric heater that is more energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and efficient.
