Instrumentation insulation and protection

Beijing Zhongyi Yusheng Technology Co., Ltd.

Instrumentation systems require proper thermal management to ensure accurate operation and long-term reliability. Typically, the temperature of the medium in the instrument pipelines should be maintained between 20°C and 80°C, while the environment inside the instrument incubator is best kept between 15°C and 20°C. To counteract heat loss from the pipelines, containers, and incubator, effective insulation and heating measures are essential.

Currently, two main methods are used for insulation and heating: traditional steam or hot water heating, and modern electric heat tracing. With the continuous improvement of electric heat tracing technology, it is increasingly being adopted as a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional heating systems. Electric heat tracing offers numerous benefits, including high thermal efficiency, energy savings, simple design, easy installation, no pollution, and long service life. It also supports remote control and automation, making it an ideal choice for modern industrial applications.

The steam heating system for an instrument incubator typically includes a housing, insulated lining, a transmitter bracket, and a U-shaped steam radiator. For easier maintenance, an observation window is often installed on the door, and a top opening may be provided for inserting bimetallic temperature sensors without removing the cover. In contrast, electric heating for the incubator usually involves electric heating pipes, while electric heating tapes are commonly used for pipeline heating. These electric heating elements are made from seamless steel tubes filled with resistance wire and magnesium oxide powder, ensuring even and efficient heat distribution.

As industries continue to evolve, the adoption of electric heat tracing is becoming more widespread. It not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces maintenance costs and environmental impact. Beijing Zhongyi Yusheng Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in providing advanced instrumentation solutions, including insulation and heating systems tailored to various industrial needs.
