Abstract
Abstract An electrode supporting conduit tube for electrical heating of underground hydrocarbon resources comprises a metal conduit tube and an insulating member adhered on and around the outer peripheral surface of the metal conduit tube. The insulating member is a laminated body of a web of glass fiber impregnated with water-dispersion varnish of a hot-water resistant and thermoplastic resin and a polyether/ether/ketone resin film, which is formed by first alternately winding the glass fiber web and the resin film on and around the outer peripheral surface of the metal conduit tube for a plurality of winding turns, and then subjecting both polyether/ether/ketone resin film and glass fiber web thus wound on and around the metal conduit tube to shaping under heat and pressure at a heating temperature of from 350 DEG C. to 450 DEG C, and under a pressure of from 10 kg/cm2 to 200 kg/cm2.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
224 words
An electrode supporting conduit tube for electrical heating above 300° C. of underground hydrocarbon resources, which comprises: a metal conduit tube; and an insulating member adhered on and around the outer peripheral surface of said metal conduit tube, said insulating member being a laminated body of a web of glass fiber impregnated with water-dispersion varnish of PEEK, PPS or a combination thereof, that is hot-water resistant and is made up or particles ranging in size from 0.5 μm to 10 μm and a thermoplastic resin which is made up of particles ranging in size from 0.5 μm to 10 μm and a polyether/ether/ketone resin film, which is formed by first alternately winding said glass fiber web on said resin film on and around the outer peripheral surface of said metal conduit tube for a plurality of winding turns, and then subjecting both polyether/ether/ketone resin film and glass fiber web thus wound on and around said metal conduit tube to shaping under heat and pressure at a heating temperature of from 350° C. to 450° C. and under a pressure of from 10 kg/cm 2 to 200 kg/cm 2 and wherein the rate of impregnation of glass fiber by said water dispersion varnish is 30% by weight wherein a final laminate structure is made of the metal conduit tube, PEEK and an impregnated glass cloth.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
