Why Insulation

Choose insulation when

The temperature of media is high Avoid accidental contact To prevent the loss of heat from the measured product To prevent the heat gain from measured product

NOTE: If the piping around the flow meter is insulated, most of the time the flow meter has to be insulated also.

Why Heat Tracing Choose tracing when

Maintain fluid temperature
Prevent temperature loss to ambient Prevent temperature gain from ambient in food industry

Handling high viscous fluids

Maintain Viscosity Prevent Solidification/crystallization

Prevent Condensation (Gases) So prevent phase change of fluid

NOTE: Above statements are valid if temperature of heating media is well controlled which is under customer responsibility If the piping around the flow meter is heat traced, most of the time the flow meter has to be heat traced also.

Heat Transfer
Temperature is a measure of the internal energy of an object. The hotter an object is, the more its molecules will vibrate and the higher its temperature will be.

If two combined objects (thermal conductivity & thermal radiation) are at different temperatures, the hotter object will transfer thermal energy to the cooler object until they reach the same temperature.
This exchange of thermal energy is known as heat transfer, and a temperature difference is the driving force for heat transfer.

Heat Transfer Rate

The rate at which heat is transferred between two objects at different temperatures can be determined from the following simple equation: Q = U x A x T
Where, Q is the amount of heat transferred (in W/m) U is specific heat transfer coefficient (in W/m2.oC) of heat transfer area A is the effective heat transfer area (in m2) T is the temperature difference between the two objects (in Deg.C)

A system which transfers heat easily (low thermal resistance) would have a high U. A system which impedes heat transfer (such as insulation) would have a low U. The U value must be determined for the entire system using industry standard, empirically based heat transfer formulas.

T Heat Loss (From mass flow meter percepective)

T = Tflowtube Tambient T Heat Loss Higher the flow tube temperature, higher is heat loss Lower the ambient temperature, higher is heat loss

Note : Heating system is not directly on the measuring tube but on the secondary containment.

Heat Transfer through pipe

If the temperature of the pipe is greater than the ambient temperature, heat will transfer from the pipe to the ambient, thus reducing the fluid temperature. The rate of heat transfer will depend on heat transfer coefficient, pipe surface area and the temperature difference between the process and ambient. In order to maintain fluid temperature, the amount of heat that is lost to ambient must be replaced by a heating system. The ability and efficiency of a heating system to maintain the fluid temperature can be assessed by considering the heat transfer equation

Heat Transfer through pipe

T - The temperature difference is defined by the heating medium (steam, hot oil, etc.) temperature and the desired fluid maintenance temperature. By using a hotter heating medium, heat transfer rate will increase. U - The U value considers each component of thermal resistance within the system, including the affluence with which the heating medium transfers heat to the pipe wall, conduction through the pipe wall, and convection from the pipe wall to the fluid. Heating technologies differ in how easily they transfer heat from the heating medium to the pipe wall. The ability to achieve good contact between the heating element and the piping is critical in establishing the U value for heat tracing system. When a fluid is flowing rapidly through a pipe, it has the ability to accept heat more rapidly. For processes where there is no flow (such as startup or melt-out scenarios), the heat that can be transferred into the process is significantly limited. In these situations, the process rather than the heating system can become the limiting factor in heat transfer. A - The heat transfer area is defined as the surface area in direct contact between the heating system and the pipe. For tube tracing, the area is defined by the size and shape of the elements.

Thermal Insulation

What is thermal insulation?

Thermal insulation are those materials or combination of materials which, when properly applied, retard the flow of heat energy by conduction, convection, and radiation transfer modes.

Thermal Conductivity

Thermal Conductivity (k) is the property of matter by which it transmits heat by conduction
Materials which transfer heat rapidly such as copper, silver and iron are called good conductors, while those which transfer heat slowly such as fiberglass, rubber or wood are called poor conductors (or isolators). Units commonly used for expressing thermal conductivity (k value) are: In the SI system, k = W/mK
Mild steel has a thermal conductivity of 45 W/mK while an average k value for fiberglass insulation is 0.036 W/mK. k values will vary somewhat with temperature depending on the material.

Heat tracing design

The theory of maintaining temperature in an insulated line evolves around a very simple heat balance. If the process temperature is to remain constant, the heat input into the line must be equal to the heat loss (W per meter) through the thermal insulation. Selecting the heat tracer type with a heat output that will most closely match this heat loss is the key to efficient heat tracing.

Heat Tracing
In general we should be careful with the word heating because in fact we are not heated the fluid we are just maintaining a constant temperature inside the detector housing.
For tube size upto RCCS38, only one side is heat traced. For RCCS39 & RCCS39IR, both sides are heat traced Select option /T2 or T3 as per heating media

Customized Design Molten Sulphur

Thermal maintenance of molten sulphur is a difficult problem Maintain a temperature window of 138-154C is critical Below 138C, hydrogen sulphide can be emitted if vapour space exists, creating a potentially hazardous situation. Above 320F (160C) the viscosity of molten sulphur rises exponentially.

Phosphate fertilizer company

Refinery
Sulphur Recovery Unit (SRU)

CS2 plant (carbon Di-sulphide)

Sulphur Melting Facility area NOTE :
When installation has a shutdown customer has to ensure that heat tracing will be stopped only when the pipe is totally empty. Otherwise, if molten sulfur is still in the pipe and heat tracing is stopped; user will have some corking / blockage problem.

Where are we compare to MicroMotion Elite

Due to its design MicroMotion Elite Series has to use a soft envelop in order to avoid vibration effects.

Vibrations effect would generate an important loss of accuracy, loss of zero stability.

What about the resistance in case of:

No direct heating for this part of the meter.

- Humidity? - Ultraviolet radiation (UV)? - Aggressive environments? What about heat transfer when the room temperature is far away from the temperature inside the envelop?

Will this design avoid all corking or blockage?

Heat Loss

What Happens if Insulation Gets Wet?

The Heat lost through Wet insulation is 12-15 times more than dry insulation. Loss of thermal insulation value is a consequence of wet insulation water conducts energy. "If insulation is wetted, it becomes a conductor of energy rather than a resistor"

Metal Cladding in ROTAMASS design will protect better against wet insulation instead of soft envelope
