Constant wattage trace heating for industry
The heating value per unit length of the constant power heating belt is constant. The longer the heating belt used, the greater the output power. The heating tape can be cut to length according to actual needs on site, and is flexible, and can be laid close to the surface of the pipeline. The braided layer of the outer layer of the heating belt can play a role in heat transfer and heat dissipation, improve the overall strength of the heating belt, and also be used as a safety grounding wire.
In addition to the characteristics of a single-phase heating cable, the three-phase heating cable also has the following characteristics:
1. The maximum allowable length of a three-phase heating belt with the same power is three times that of a single heating belt
2. The three-phase belt has a large cross section and a large heat transfer area, which can improve the transmission efficiency.
Generally used for heat tracing and insulation of small pipelines or short pipelines in pipe network systems.
The three-phase parallel tape is generally suitable for heat tracing and insulation of large pipe diameters, pipe network system pipelines and tanks.
1.Are you factory?
Yes, we are factory, all customers are more than welcome to visit our factory .
2.Can you put foam pipe insulation over heat tape?
If the tape is covered with pipe insulation, it will be more effective. Tubes of foam insulation fitted over pipes and heat tape are a good choice. To make sure that the heat tape can be covered with insulation, read the package directions carefully.
3.Can you heat trace PVC pipe?
PVC pipe is a dense thermal insulation. Since the thermal resistance of plastic is significant (125 times that of steel), the heat tracing density for plastic pipes must be considered carefully. ... PVC pipe is usually rated as being able to withstand temperatures between 140 to 160°F.
4.Is heat tape dangerous?
But according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), heat tapes are the cause of approximately 2,000 fires, 10 deaths and 100 injuries every year. ... The heat tape that most homeowners use comes in stock lengths, like extension cords, that run from a few feet long to almost 100 feet.
5.How much electricity do heating cables use?
A typical constant wattage cable might use 5 watts per foot no matter what the temperature is outside. So, if the cable is 100 feet long, it will use 500 watts per hour. Electricity is paid for in watts, not amps or volts. To calculate, take your cost per kilowatt/hr and multiply by watts of the heat cable.
