LINE FOR TRANSPORTING A FLUID CONTAINING A HYDROCARBON, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A LINE

摘要

The invention relates to a line (1) for transporting a hydrocarbon, said line comprising a hollow tube extending in a longitudinal direction (X) for transporting the fluid in the tube and having an electrically insulating outer surface (2b), a heating layer (3) arranged on the tube (2) and comprising carbon fibres embedded in a polymer material, an electrical insulation layer (4) arranged on the heating layer (3), a reinforcing layer (5) arranged on the electrical insulation layer (4) and comprising carbon fibres embedded in a polymer material, and power supply means (6) for feeding an electrical current to the heating layer (3) for heating the tube (2).
