Freeze protection trace heating

Short Description:

Trace heating is the application of a controlled amount of electric surface heating to pipework, tanks, valves or process equipment to either maintain its temperature (by replacing heat lost through insulation, also referred to as frost protection) or to affect an increase in its temperature.

Feature

Electric heat tracing, heat tape or surface heating, is a system used to maintain or raise the temperature of pipes and vessels using heat tracing cables. Trace heating takes the form of an electrical heating element run in physical contact along the length of a pipe. The pipe is usually covered with thermal insulation to retain heat losses from the pipe. Heat generated by the element then maintains the temperature of the pipe. Trace heating may be used to protect pipes from freezing, to maintain a constant flow temperature in hot water systems, or to maintain process temperatures for piping that must transport substances that solidify at ambient temperatures. Electric trace heating cables are an alternative to steam trace heating where steam is unavailable or unwanted.

Application

The most common pipe trace heating applications include:

Freeze protection

Temperature maintenance

Snow Melting On Driveways

Other uses of trace heating cables

Ramp and stair snow / ice protection

Gulley and roof snow / ice protection

Underfloor heating

Door / frame interface ice protection

Window de-misting

Anti-condensation

Pond freeze protection

Soil warming

Preventing cavitation

Reducing Condensation On Windows

FAQ

1.Are you factory?
Yes, we are factory, all customers are more than welcome to visit our factory .

2.What is heat tape for roofs?
Heat tape is a protected electrical cord that, when used in gutters and pipes, can stop them from freezing. Also known as gutter heat cables or gutter heaters, heat tape helps to prevent ice dams from forming. ... But, heat tape for roofs and gutters also comes with its own set of quirks.

3.Does heat tape get warm?
Tucked away in a garden shed or crawl space, the tapes get hot in summer, cold in winter and soaked with moisture off and on year-round. Sadly, heat tape has the potential to cause fires in homes and businesses.

4.Can you cut heat tape to length?
With the exception of cut-to-length heat tape (which is not available for online sale, though you can contact us to find out more), you cannot trim heat tape to length. in a grounded version for applications in ordinary locations up to 305°F.

5.Can heat trace touch itself?
Constant wattage heat trace and MI cable cannot cross or touch itself. ... Self-regulating heat trace cables, however, would adjust to this temperature increase, making them safe to cross or overlap. As with any electrical system, though, there are always potential dangers with using heat trace or heat cables.
