Anhui Anze Electrical Co., based on the National GB13033 Standards, etc, produces of stainless steel mineral insulated heating cable, which has been widely used in the petrochemical and natural gas industry, pipeline heat tracing, tank insulation, roofing and road snow and ice melting and building heating, etc. After many years of practice, it has proved that the installation is convenient, safe and reliable, durable application.
 
 
The main characteristics of MI heating cables and heating system
As the MI heating cable consists of metal material conductor, magnesium oxide as mineral insulation, alloy mental as outer jacket, the main advantages as followings:
 
1. Fire resistant 
The MI cable is made of inorganic materials, it will neither burn nor support combustion or release toxic or harmful gases in high temperature.
 
2. Explosion Proof
The MI cable is made up of seamless alloy metal sheath, a tightly solid compacted with magnesium oxide powder, so it can prevent the steam, gas and blaze into the electrical equipment connected with the cable. So it has the quality of explosion proof.
 
3. High Corrosion Resistance
The sheath of MI is seamless alloy metal sheath, you can select the appropriate alloy metal outer sheath according to the actual situation of the workplace to avoid corrosion.
 
4. Impermeability
As the sheath of MI is seamless alloy mental sheath, it can prevent the liquid and gas into the cable.
 
5. Radiation proof
The MI cable is made of inorganic material, so the performance indicators will not change during working in a radiation place and will avoid electromagnetic radiation.
 
6. Long Service Life 
Because MI cable is made of inorganic material without ageing, the MI cable has the quality of long-term stability. No leakage during the transport. Not damage the environment. Disassembly and assembly many times. Longevity over several decade.
 
7. Good flexibility
After softening treatment in factory, the MI cable have extremely good flexibility and can be bent freely. It can lay in a narrow space and irregular shape equipment, make the installation much more convenient and beautiful.
 
8. High mechanical strength
Because of the inherent characteristics of the cable structure, the MI cable can withstand severe mechanical damage. It can still work normally when the cable diameter deform 1/3. The MI heating cable heat evenly and temperature difference narrow because of heating cable series connection.
 
9. High heating power
The heating power is typically 50W/m or more. Unlike the steam heating pipeline or hot water pipeline, the MI cable will not freeze when short of steam or water. Turn on the power when needed. No need to maintain regularly .
 
10. Lower project cost
The MI cable has small volume, so it will not increase the amount of insulation material when laying. Omitting the steam and water boilers and water heating systems, convenient and fast construction, reduce the cost directly .
 
11. Low temperature resistant
The MI cable is not brittle at low temperature, easy to construct and repair in winter.
 
12. Lower operating costs
The heating system composed by MI cable is capable of remote control and automatic control, and can ensure accurate and timely supply of heat that the heated objects need by thermostat. So there is no additional heat loss and excess operating personnel to ensure the lowest operating costs.
 
13. Lower maintenance costs
The heating system composed by MI cable is simple in structure, has the quality of long life and high reliability, reducing the need to maintain the elements and time. The system can work normally in not particularly bad working condition.
 
 
Above are the characteristics of the MI heating cable, it has proved that this new technology makes the MI heating cable preferred all-weather heating and insulation products for metal pipeline heating and railway turnout snow & ice melting.

Determination of the MI heating cable pipe heating parameters

MI cable heating system design theory:The object which need to compensate heat should choose mineral insulated heating cable to be heated within the time to ensure that the object to reach the desired temperature and work normally.

 

 

MI heating cable pipe insulation parameters determine:

(1)When the material substance is heated, the flow velocity in the pipe, the initial temperature and the required temperature to maintain.

(2)The geometry size of the material, thickness, diameter, length etc.of pipe or vessel, etc., And the size and quantity of the interrelated valves, elbows, flanges and other accessories.

(3)The lowest temperature of the working environment.

(4)The material and thickness of the insulation material.

(5) Power supply capacity of the workplace.

 

Note:Relevant parameters can be changed by the actual needs of the customers with special requirements,any questions refer to our factory.
