Application of Cables in Natural Gas Liquefaction Equipment
1.Scenario Introduction
Natural gas liquefaction is an important technology to convert natural gas into liquid state at low temperature for storage and transportation. With the transformation of the global energy structure, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is becoming more and more significant in the energy market due to its high efficiency, cleanliness, ease of transportation and other characteristics. As a key link in this industry chain, the stability and safety of the liquefaction equipment’s cable system is crucial.
2.Pain point analysis
During the operation of natural gas liquefaction equipment, the cable system often faces harsh environments such as extreme low temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive gases, which puts high demands on the cold resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical performance of cables. Traditional cables are often difficult to work stably for a long time in such an environment, which can easily lead to signal transmission interruptions, equipment downtime and even cause safety accidents.
3.Natural gas liquefaction equipment on the cable requirements
Low-temperature resistance: able to maintain normal operation at temperatures of -160℃ or even lower.
Corrosion resistance: able to resist the corrosive components that may be contained in natural gas.
High electrical performance: to ensure the stability and accuracy of data transmission.
High mechanical strength: Resist the vibration and stress that may occur during the operation of the equipment.
4.Natural gas liquefaction equipment cable certification standards
Natural gas liquefaction equipment cable products should be through such as IEC, UL, CSA and other international or domestic certification, especially for the extreme low-temperature environment of the special certification to ensure that the quality and performance of the cable to meet industry standards.
5.Cable Selection
For the special needs of natural gas liquefaction equipment, TST CABLES recommends the use of special low-temperature cables. These cables use special insulation materials and structural design to maintain excellent electrical performance and mechanical strength at extremely low temperatures.
