METHOD OF THERMAL ACTION OF PRODUCT TRANSPORTED BY PIPE LINE AND DEVICE FOR REALIZATION OF THIS METHOD

摘要

oil producing and oil refining industries; thermal action exerted on product transported by pipe lines in order to facilitate its transportation and preparation for processing. SUBSTANCE: device having chamber for burning working mixture is placed in pipe line, then components of working mixture are fed to chamber where mixture is ignited, thus heating the product due to contact of combustion products with product being transported; contact of combustion products with product being transported is effected by discharge of combustion products from chamber of device to pipe line. Device proposed for realization of this method has housing with chamber for burning the working mixture and at least one branch pipe for delivery of working mixture component; this device is provided with sleeve where heating element is mounted; working mixture combustion chamber Is formed by outer wall of sleeve and inner surface of housing; sleeve is provided with longitudinal passage for delivery of component of working mixture and through opening for discharge of combustion products from chamber to pipe line; opening in housing may be made in form of Laval nozzle. EFFECT: increased productivity; facilitated procedure of heating; enhanced stability of heating procedure. 3 cl, 1 dwg
