Definitions
- FIG. 1 A first figure.
- This invention relates to a method for controlling heat generation locally in a heat-generating pipe. More particularly this invention relates to a method for controlling heat generation locally according to the demand of a to-be-heated body, in a heat-generating pipe which utilizes skin-effect current and comprises as a heat-generating body, of a ferromagnetic pipe to which electricity is supplied from one source.
- the heat-generating pipes utilizing skin-effect current in which the method of the present invention is applied are those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,293,407 or U.S. Pat. No. 3,515,837.
- FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show the constructions and wirings of two heat-generating pipes based upon different principles
- FIG. 3 is one embodiment of the present invention hereinafter fully explained.
- FIG. I shows the construction and wiring of the heatgenerating pipe disclosed in the above-mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,293,407.
- l is a ferromagnetic pipe
- 2 is an insulated conductor line which enters the ferromagnetic pipe from one end 3 and is connected to the other end 4 after passed therethrough
- 5 is a conductor line connected to the above-mentioned one end 3 of the ferromagnetic pipe.
- the other ends of the above-mentioned conductor lines 2 and 5 are connected to two terminals of an AC source 6.
- FIG. 2 shows a construction of another heat-generating pipe disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,515,837.
- l and l' are two ferromagnetic pipes.
- An insulated conductor line 2 is passed through the pipes 1 and l successively as shown in FIG. 2 and both ends of it are connected to different terminals of an AC source 6.
- the left ends 3 and 3' of the ferromagnetic pipes l and l and the right ends 4 and 4 of the same pipes l and l are connected, respectively, with conductor lines 7 and 7' (e.g., electric wire).
- conductor lines 7 and 7' e.g., electric wire
- V P/l -f wherein p is the resistivity of ferromagnetic material constructing the pipe ((1 cm.), 1. is the permeability of the same material and f is the frequency of AC (Hz.
- a depth s of a surface skin in the equation I is to be illustrated by a concrete example, it is only 0.] cm. in the case where a commercial steel pipe is used as a ferromagnetic pipe and the frequency of a current supplied to a heat-generating pipe is 50 or 60 Hz. Accordingly, a steel pipe having a thickness of more than 0.2 cm. can be used as the ferromagnetic pipe of a heat-generating pipe of this kind and there is no need of special precaution to the material of heat-generating pipes and current to be supplied.
- heat-generating pipes having constructions shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are those applied to single-phase circuits, the application of these heat-generating pipes to threephase circuits will be easy for a person having an ordinary skill in the art.
- the heat generated in the insulated conductor line is con ducted mainly by a medium between the conductor line and the ferromagnetic pipe.
- a medium is usually air but a better heat conductor such as water, oils and other liquid madium may be used.
- the use of such a liquid medium renders the allowable current of the conductor line about three times as large as that of gaseous medium, e.g., air. Thence the use of liquid medium is economical particularly in case of high-capacity heat-generating pipe.
- Such an object can be attained by the method of the present invention which is characterized by changing one or more factors of those consisting of the cross-sectional area of the conductor line, the resistivity of the same, the resistivity of ferromagnetic pipe, the permeability of the same and inside diameter of the same to locally control heat quantity generated in a heat-generating pipe utilizing skin-effect current and consisting of a ferromagnetic pipe and an insulated conductor line installed therethrough wherein an AC flows through concentratedly only in the inner skin region thereof, and the strength and frequency of electric current flowing through the insulated conductor line and the heat-generating pipe are constant.
- current i and frequency f of AC are constant in each part of the heat-generating pipe and cannot be changed, but l resistivity p and (2) permeability p.
- a ferromagnetic pipe can be changed by changing the material of the ferromagnetic pipe, (3) diameter of a ferromagnetic pipe can be selected arbitrarily even when the pipe is of the same material and (4) resistivity (R of an insulated conductor line can be varied by arbitrarily selecting a material and/or diameter of the conductor line.
- resistivity R of an insulated conductor line can be varied by arbitrarily selecting a material and/or diameter of the conductor line.
- FIG. 3 is a fluid-transporting pipe one portion of which is installed above the ground and another portion of which is installed underground. 10 shows soil and sand.
- the portion installed in .the underground requires a lesser amount of heat compared with the portion exposed to the air in order to maintain the temperature.
- it is possible to minimize the change of the fluid temperature in a transportation pipe even with a constant supply of heat per unit length by using, as a relatively good lagging layer ll for the underground portion, and an insulating material of either reduced efficiency or reduced thickness for the portion above the ground.
- l and l are ferromagnetic pipes installed in a transportation pipe 9. At a junction point 12, they are connected by welding.
- 2 and 2' are conductor lines passing through the ferromagnetic pipes l, l.
- the one end of the conductor line 2 is connected to one terminal of AC source 6 as indicated by a broken line, and the other end of which is connected to a conductor line 2' through the junction point 13, and the conductor line 2' is connected to one end of ferromagnetic pipe 4 after passing through the ferromagnetic pipe 1'.
- one end 3 of the ferromagnetic pipe 1 is connected to the other terminal of AC source 6 by a conductor line 5 as indicated by a broken line and thus a heatgenerating pipe is constructed.
- connection box 14 is a connection. box attached to the heat-generating pipe. lf kinds of insulated conductor lines are changed in one heat-generating pipe as in this example or if a heat-generating pipe is long or has many bends, the connection box is convenient for the construction and management of the heat-generating pipe.
- a material having a greater resistivity and/or permeability than that for the pipe 1' lying in the underground may be used for a ferromagnetic pipe I of a heatgenerating pipe lying above the ground, or if the same material is used, the diameter of the pipe 1' may be reduced, or the material or cross-sectional area of each insulated conductor line is selected in such a way that the resistance of the line 2 is greater than that of the line 2'.
- the foregoing description is almost exclusively directed to the case of application in pipe lines but the method of the present invention can be also applied widely and effectively to the heating for temperature maintenance, prevention of freezing or melting of snow for walls of constructions, floors, rooves, road surfaces runways for aircraft, surface grounds of rail ways or tracks, bridges and power transmission lines, and to the heating or temperature maintenance of tanks wherein temperature reduction is undesirable.
- said ferromagnetic pipe being composed of at least two segments of differing heat-generating capacity
- At least one of the segments of said ferromagnetic pipe being constructed so that it has at least one of the aforesaid heat-generating factors which is different from the corresponding heat-generating factor of another segment of the ferromagnetic pipe.
- heat-generating apparatus comprising a length of ferromagnetic pipe, a first length of an electrical conductor line disposed within said ferromagnetic pipe but insulated therefrom, and electrical and power connections such that upon the passage of alternating voltage through said first length of electrical conductor line there is a concentrated flow of current along the inner skin of the ferromagnetic pipe to thereby generate heat in said ferromagnetic pipe, improvement which comprises said ferromagnetic pipe having at least one segment wherein the permeability of the ferromagnetic pipe differs from that of at least one other segment of the ferromagnetic pipe.
