Insulated heat distribution pipes monitoring systems
Description:
Modern heating tracks have a low thermal conductivity heat insulating sheath, they are installed in trenches without additional waterproofing or mechanical protection components. During operation, forces act due to the deformation, depending on the length of the track and the DH changes in temperature, hydraulic shock, resulting outer casing of polyethylene mechanical damage and breach of the insulation layer. Developing methods and tools to ensure operational defect nature and location, as well as the possible heat loss assessment.
