TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of geothermal energy development pipeline, in particular to a heat preservation pipeline, construction method and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] The working face of high-temperature mine and high-temperature tunnel has a high temperature, which is a heat damage to the normal work of the mine and the tunnel. In order to eliminate and utilize the heat damage, the underground hot water as the source of the heat damage needs to be transported out through a heat preservation pipeline. The temperature of the underground hot water is high at the heat source, and the transportation distance is long. The temperature drop of the general heat preservation pipeline is high during long-distance transportation, which makes the heat preservation pipeline itself become a long-distance heat source, which is not conducive to the elimination of the heat damage. Therefore, a pipeline with good heat preservation performance, high structural strength, simple construction process, long service life and convenient maintenance is needed. The commonly used heat preservation pipelines mainly include non-metallic pipes such as PE pipe, PE-RT pipe and PPH pipe, and special heat insulation oil pipes for petroleum. The two types of commonly used pipelines have the following defects: (1) Non-metallic heat preservation pipe: easy to corrode and oxidize in a complex and humid environment, resulting in failure of the heat preservation layer and low pipeline strength, which is not conducive to application in complex engineering environments; the pipeline has a large apparent thermal conductivity and low heat insulation level, causing a large amount of heat to be emitted to the surrounding by the heat transfer medium, which is not conducive to the elimination of the heat damage; the temperature resistance of the pipeline is low, and when the temperature of the hot water is high, the mechanical properties and service life of the pipeline are greatly reduced, which cannot be used for long-term application in the heat damage treatment of high-temperature mines and tunnels. (2) Special heat insulation oil pipe for petroleum: the weight of the buried pipeline is large, and large equipment needs to be used for pipe installation and later maintenance, which has high use and maintenance costs.
[0003] In summary, the existing non-metallic pipes such as PE pipe, PE-RT pipe and PPH pipe and the special heat insulation oil pipe for petroleum cannot simultaneously have high pipeline strength, small density, high temperature resistance and low apparent thermal conductivity, and cannot meet the application requirements of long-distance transportation of high-temperature hot water to eliminate the heat damage in high-temperature mines and tunnels.
