해양플랜트 파이프라인 가열방식에 따른 유동 안정성 실험 연구

Abstract

The fact that gas hydrate and/or paraffin wax is frequently plugged in offshore pipeline has been become very significant for offshore piepline flow assurance. An active electrical heating along pipeline has adapted in resolving flow assurance problem like as gas hydrate and wax plugging. This study represents a novel internal-swirled heater which was designed and fabricated for more effective heating and thermal mixing through pipeline. The internal-swirled heater suggested in this study shows higher thermal mixing performances than the conventional external-traced heater.
