Tank electric heating systems are designed to compensate for heat losses to the environment. The main way of heating technological machines in the negative ambient temperatures is electric heating. Also, electric heating serves to prevent phase changes in the energy carrier. Furthermore, it is needed to control the required viscosity and maintain the set temperatures. The problem of limited resources has always faced humanity. In the field of energy this problem is now more urgent than ever before, because every year, the planet’s hydrocarbon reserves are becoming less and less. Hydrocarbon cost is increasing, which leads to an increase in the cost of the final product. Therefore, it is necessary to use resources more efficiently, increase the efficiency of equipment, and introduce new technologies. In addition to limited resources, the problem of environmental pollution is no less acute.
