Learn MoreEvaluation of heating effect of coil of storage tank Heating effect is used to evaluate the heating capacity of an energy system. In the heating energy system of crude oil storage tank, the heating rate of crude oil was regarded as the main index to judge the heating effect.
The heating effect and effective energy utilization are combined together to produce an optimization method of coil in crude oil storage tank, which can determine the optimal coil structure size more scientifically and comprehensively.
The variable physical parameters of crude oil and dynamic thermal environment are considered to establish a coil heating theoretical model of a large crude oil storage tank. On this basis, according to the first and second laws of thermodynamics, the energy loss mechanism of the multiple links in the heating process is analysed.
Coil length can obviously improve the flow structure of crude and enhance heating effect. Coil diameter can strengthen convective heat transfer process and enhance energy efficiency. With the rapid development of crude oil reserves, energy consumption in heating increases gradually, so it is necessary to study heating effect and energy utilization.
With regard to effective energy utilization, it can be seen from Fig. 8, Fig. 9 that with the increase of coil length, the heat released by coil increases, at the same time, the heat absorbed by oil increases, and the energy effective utilization rate and exergy effective utilization rate increase accordingly.
Theoretical model for the tank coil heating process During the heating process of the crude oil in tanks, the coil passes the heat to the oil in the tank, which causes the temperature of the oil near coil to rise and the density to decrease gradually, and then causes crude oil natural convection.
