Seriously, pipeline blockage or fracture may occur, which not only directly affects the efficiency and stability of oil and gas transportation, but also poses a potential threat to the safe operation of the pipeline system. Therefore, increasing the temperature of the oil and gas in the pipeline is of great significance for the safe transportation of oil and gas. The main traditional methods for increasing the temperature of oil and gas are to lay hot water pipelines beside the oil transportation pipeline or to mix hot water into the crude oil pipeline or to heat the oil and gas through coal-fired and gas-fired heating furnaces; however, in recent years, due to the increasingly severe carbon emission situation and in order to actively respond to the call of the "dual carbon" goal and further reduce the carbon emissions of the oilfield heating furnaces, the traditional methods for increasing the temperature of oil and gas are no longer applicable.

[0028] The outer protective tube 11 of the electromagnetic heater 10 is coaxial with the outer shell of the heating body 4 without contact, which can make the heating of the oil and gas more uniform and avoid heat loss caused by high local temperature of the heating device's outer shell; the detachable heating body 4 is for the convenience of regular cleaning of the inner cavity 4 of the heating body, improving the heating efficiency.

[0029] Multiple supports 15 are provided on the skid base 1. The supports 15 are used for fixing between the skid base 1 and each device. The skid base 1 is bolted to the heating body 4 and the control cabinet 5. With this structure, the quick installation and disassembly of each component of the device can be realized, facilitating the transportation of the device and the daily maintenance, replacement, and maintenance of each component.

[0030] The control cabinet 5 realizes the start, stop, or regulation of the electromagnetic heater 10 by controlling the temperatures of the heating medium entering the oil and gas inlet pipeline 9 and the oil and gas outlet pipeline 3; when the temperature of the heating medium is lower than the lower limit of the set value, the control cabinet 5 controls the electromagnetic heater 10 to start automatically; when the temperatures of the oil and gas inlet pipeline 9 and the oil and gas outlet pipeline 3 are higher than the set upper limit, the electromagnetic heater 10 automatically stops heating operation or automatically adjusts the power for heating.

At the same time, the audible and visual alarm can remind the patrol personnel to repair the device and troubleshoot faults.

[0036] Embodiment 4

[0037] Based on Embodiment 3, a drain pipeline 6 is also connected to the bottom of the heating body 4. A handwheel 7 is installed on the drain pipeline 6. The drain pipeline 6 is opened and closed through the handwheel 7 to discharge the sewage, which can enhance the reliability of the sewage discharge port operation, occupy less floor area, and is convenient for sewage discharge. The sewage discharge flow can be adjusted as needed; the oil and gas inlet pipeline 9 is connected to the drain pipeline 6 and forms a T-shaped passage with the heating body 4, which can reduce the number of connection ports between the cavity of the heating body 4 and the pipeline, thereby improving the sealing performance of the heating body 4, effectively reducing the risk of interface corrosion and leakage, and reducing the daily maintenance time.

[0038] Working principle of the present invention:

[0039] After the heating device is powered on, the control cabinet 5 starts to work. Under pressure, the oil-gas inlet pipeline 9 transports low-temperature oil-gas to the inner cavity of the heating body 4. The first thermometer 2-1 detects the temperature of the oil-gas entering the oil-gas inlet pipeline 9, and the first temperature transmitter 8-1 feeds back the detected temperature to the control cabinet 5. When the oil-gas content reaches the heating standard, the electromagnetic heater 10 inside the heating body 4 starts to work, the electromagnetic coil 12 generates heat, and quickly heats the inner heating pipe 13 and the outer protection pipe 11. The heat is evenly transferred to the low-temperature oil-gas, causing the low-temperature oil-gas to quickly heat up. Under the continuous action of pressure, the oil-gas flows out from the oil-gas outlet pipeline 3. The second thermometer 2-2 detects the temperature of the heating medium entering the oil-gas outlet pipeline 3, and the second temperature transmitter 8-2 feeds back the detected temperature to the control cabinet 5. The control cabinet 5 ensures the stability of the temperature of the oil-gas outlet pipeline 3 by adjusting the heating power and starting and stopping of the electromagnetic heater 10. When the oil-gas liquid volume is low or the incoming liquid stops, the temperature of the heating components such as the electromagnetic coil 12 is abnormally high, which will trigger the dry-run protection sensor to cut off the power supply and stop heating, and issue an audible and visual alarm to remind the inspection personnel to conduct fault troubleshooting, thereby ensuring the smooth transportation of the oil-gas in the pipeline.

[0040] The above embodiments are only the preferred technical solutions of the present utility model, and should not be regarded as a limitation to the present utility model.
