Automatic Heat-Shrink Sleeve Applicator Using the Low-Temperature Catalytic Combustor
Catalytic combustion for applying heat shrink sleeves (HSS) to a pipeline in KOGAS was investigated. We used a low temperature catalytic combustor in order to place HSS in the conduit. The surface temperature of the catalytic combustor maintained the conditions at which HSS can become well-adhesive at the conduit. Therefore, the automatic HSS construction provided the chance to establish gas pipeline safety by an automatic catalytic combustor device.
