High temperature 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

Trace heating cables contain two copper conductor wires that are parallel in length which creates a heating zone with a resistance filament in place. With a fixed voltage supplied, a constant wattage is produced which then heats up the zone.

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 if heat tape is too long?
Usually you can wrap the tape around the pipe as you install it. You can then add or subtract wraps to adjust the length and make it come out where you want. This works well for just a short amount of slack.

3.Should heat tape feel warm to touch?
Feel along the length of the heat tape. It should be getting warm. If the heat tape fails to warm up, after 10 minutes, the thermostat or the heat tape itself is bad.

4.Does heat trace need to be insulated?
If you can see the pipe at any point it MUST be insulated. Wind-chill and extreme cold ambient temperatures are the main factors that lead to heat loss, causing your pipe to freeze even when protected by heat trace. ... Being in a boxed enclosure or big-o drain pipe is not enough protection, it must be insulated.

5.How warm should heat tape be?
The better quality tapes use a thermal sensor embedded in the tape to turn on the heating process once the temperature drops to around 38 degrees F (2 degrees C). Manufacturers instructions are provided on the package on how to properly install the tape.
