[0053] Fifthly, the upper mounting bracket 4 is provided with a mounting groove 401, and the inner wall of the mounting groove 401 is provided with an annular inclined groove 402, so that the stirring rod 6 moves up and down to make the heat of the upper and lower layers of asphalt convect and exchange.

[0055] The seventh step is to push the asphalt close to the inner wall to the middle by the rotating push plate 15 to ensure that the temperature inside the heat preservation box body 1 is uniform.

[0056] The asphalt mixture circulating heating method provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps.

[0057] The first step is to pour the asphalt mixture into the heat preservation box body 1 by using the feeding mechanism, and then close the feeding door to reduce heat loss.

[0058] The second step is to connect the external heat conducting oil electric heating system with the heat conducting oil layer 102, and send the heated oil into the heat preservation box body 1.

[0059] The third step is to guide the cooled oil out of the heat preservation box body 1 and send it back to the heat conducting oil heating system to be heated again to form a circulating flow.

[0060] The fourth step is to install the rotating rod 5 and the stirring rod in the heat preservation box body 1 to stir the internal asphalt mixture to avoid heat accumulation on the inner wall.

[0061] The fifth step is to use the installation groove 401 provided in the upper mounting frame 4, and the annular inclined groove 402 provided on the inner wall of the installation groove 401 to make the stirring rod 6 move up and down to make the heat of the upper and lower layers of the asphalt convect and exchange.

[0062] The sixth step is to move the scraping frame 10 downwards on the inner wall of the heat preservation box body 1 to avoid long-term adhesion of the asphalt on the inner wall.

[0063] The seventh step is to push the asphalt close to the inner wall to the middle by the rotating push plate 15 to ensure that the temperature inside the heat preservation box body 1 is uniform.

[0064] Before starting the heat conducting oil electric heating system, a comprehensive and detailed inspection needs to be carried out to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system. Since the asphalt has the characteristic of strong temperature sensitivity, its fluidity will change significantly with temperature. The sufficient amount and good quality of the heat conducting oil are the key to ensure the heat transfer efficiency. The liquid level of the heat conducting oil should be ensured to be within a reasonable range. If the liquid level is too low, the electric heater may be dry, which affects the service life of the equipment and even causes safety accidents. At the same time, it is necessary to check whether the heat conducting oil is deteriorated or has too much impurity. If so, it needs to be replaced in time to avoid affecting the heat transfer effect.

[0065] Check the sealing of each equipment connection. The heat transfer oil pump is driven by the motor to transport the heat transfer oil to each link, and the sealing of the pipeline, valve and equipment connection is very important. Once the leakage occurs, not only the waste of heat transfer oil will be caused, but also the pressure stability of the system will be affected, and then the heat preservation effect on asphalt will be affected.

[0066] Confirm the state of the heat preservation silo. Ensure that the heat transfer oil layer of the heat preservation silo is clean and unblocked, so that the heat transfer oil can circulate smoothly in it and fully play the heat preservation effect on asphalt. At the same time, check whether the heat preservation layer of the heat preservation box body is intact to reduce heat loss and meet the heat preservation characteristics of asphalt needing continuous and stable temperature environment.

[0067] Asphalt is easy to cool and gradually solidify at room temperature, and its viscosity increases with the decrease of temperature, so it is very important to keep the temperature of asphalt within a certain range. Too low temperature will cause asphalt to solidify, affect its fluidity, and then affect its transportation and use effect. Generally, the best temperature for asphalt heat preservation is between 160℃ and 180℃, and exceeding or below this range may affect its performance and fluidity.

[0068] When the system starts, the electric heater starts to heat the heat transfer oil, which is heated from room temperature (about 20-25℃) to the specified temperature (usually 180℃), and the power required for static heat transfer oil heating is calculated;

[0069] P = m * c * ΔT / t

[0070] Where: P is the heating power, in kilowatts (kW);

[0071] m is the mass of heat transfer oil, in kilograms (kg);

[0072] c is the specific heat capacity of the liquid, which is usually taken as 1.8-2.0 kilocalories per kilogram per degree Celsius (kcal / kg·℃) for petroleum products;

[0073] ΔT is the required temperature rise, i.e. the difference between the initial temperature and the target temperature, in degrees Celsius (℃);

[0074] t is the time required to reach the target temperature, in hours (h)

[0075] The heating element in the electric heater converts electrical energy into heat energy, gradually increasing the temperature of the heat transfer oil, and the temperature control system monitors the temperature of the heat transfer oil in real time to ensure that the heating speed is stable and avoid overheating or too fast heating. When the heat transfer oil reaches the specified temperature, it is continuously pumped into the heat transfer oil layer of the heat preservation box body under the action of the heat transfer oil pump.

[0076] The high-temperature heat-conducting oil entering the heat-conducting oil layer transmits heat to the bitumen in the bin through heat transfer, maintains the bitumen in a suitable temperature range, and meets the characteristics that the viscosity of the bitumen changes greatly with temperature and the bitumen needs to be kept at a certain temperature to ensure fluidity. With the transmission of heat, the temperature of the heat-conducting oil gradually decreases, and the heat-conducting oil after the temperature decreases is extracted from the heat-conducting oil layer of the bin and then enters the electric heater again to be heated and warmed. Such a process is repeated to form a continuous and stable cycle, so that the bitumen in the heat-insulating bin is always kept in a heat-insulating temperature environment required.

[0077] In the case of fluid flow, the heat transfer rate increases, so the flow rate and temperature difference need to be introduced when calculating;

[0078] P = C_f * m_dot * DeltaT / t

[0079] Wherein: Cf is the heat transfer coefficient, which is related to the flow rate, pipe diameter, pipe material, fluid properties, etc.

[0080] m_dot is the mass flow rate of the fluid, and the unit is kilogram per second (kg / s) or kilogram per hour (kg / h);

[0081] DeltaT is also the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the system, and the unit is Celsius (℃);

[0082] t still represents the time required to heat the fluid to the target temperature;

[0083] During the heat transfer process, the temperature of the heat-conducting oil will gradually decrease. In particular, after a certain period of time, the temperature of the heat-conducting oil may decrease below the set minimum return temperature (such as 160℃), and the low-temperature heat-conducting oil is extracted through the heat-conducting oil pump and sent back to the electric heater for heating, so that the temperature of the heat-conducting oil is always maintained within the optimal heating range (usually 160-180℃).

[0084] This process continuously heats and circulates the heat-conducting oil to maintain the constant temperature of the bitumen, and when the temperature of the heat-conducting oil exceeds the set safe temperature range (such as the temperature exceeds 190℃), the temperature control system automatically cuts off the power supply of the electric heater to prevent overheating, and the system will prompt through an alarm device.
