Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline tracing, and particularly relates to a fuel type tracing tape, a tracing system and a using method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Tracing tapes are widely used in various pipelines and equipment that require temperature control. By means of winding and laying, heat is transferred directly or indirectly to reach a specific working temperature.

[0003] Currently, tracing tapes are mainly divided into steam tracing tapes and electric tracing tapes. As a product with relatively large restrictive conditions, steam tracing tapes often require boiler water circulation to operate normally. Due to the large tracing area, the heat reception is uneven. Electric tracing tapes use the heat generated by electric heating to supplement the heat dissipated during the process operation, with high efficiency. However, electric tracing tapes rely on a stable power supply, which is a limitation in their use. In the wild, far from living and residential environments, power supply is often unavailable. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The material of the protective housing is a heat-conducting material, and there is a polymer wrapping layer between the protective housing and the microbial hard medium.

[0008] The number of the fuel gas pipes is the same as that of the air pipes, both are ≥1, and they are correspondingly distributed.

[0009] The medium pores are micron-level pores.

[0010] A fuel-assisted heating system includes any one of the fuel-assisted heating tapes described above, and also includes an air supply duct, an exhaust gas duct, and a fuel gas supply duct that are respectively connected to the main body of the fuel-assisted heating tape. The other ends of the air supply duct and the exhaust gas duct are connected to a wind cap, and the other end of the fuel gas supply duct is connected to the fuel gas supply unit.

[0011] A first control valve is installed between the air supply duct and the main body of the fuel-assisted heating tape, and the first control valve is a one-way check valve.

[0012] A third control valve is installed between the exhaust gas duct and the main body of the fuel-assisted heating tape, and the third control valve is a one-way check valve.

[0013] A second control valve is installed between the fuel gas supply duct and the main body of the fuel-assisted heating tape, and the second control valve is a one-way check valve.

The microorganisms in the main body of the fuel-assisted heating tape continuously oxidize and decompose to generate heat, and the generated exhaust gas is discharged through the exhaust gas duct.

[0018] The technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] 1. The present invention realizes the slow oxidation and decomposition in the microorganism area inside the heating tape to generate heat sources through measures such as "protective housing + polymer wrapping layer" to isolate the outside world. The heat sources are stable and safe; at the same time, independent one-way check valves are respectively set for the air and fuel gas inlet interfaces of the heating system, which can prevent the mixing of air and fuel gas in the non-microorganism area and avoid potential explosion risks. 2.
