Constant Wattage Heat Trace
$0.00Price
Electric Heat Trace is a very effective way to maintaining the temperature of a fluid, to stop it falling below its solidification temperature while static in the pipe (for example temperature maintenance of full caustic soda lines overnight). It is also used in grease traps and freezer drain lines to keep the pipe warm and prevent liquid from solidifying inside the pipe.
** Note - Due to its relatively low wattage output per linear meter (30W/m max), Electric Heat Trace is not very effective at heating up a flowing fluid in a pipe. When used with a lagging material, it can be used to keep pumps and other process machinery warm to prevent liquids freezing inside them.
If you have a heat trace application please contact us, and supply the following information to allow us to provide you with a quotation.
Maintain Temperature
Pipe diameter (or details on equipment to be traced)
Minimum Ambient Temperature
Insulation type and thickness.
Approx length of pipe to be traced.
Details
Use on containers, pipes, valves, gutters, and many others, also in aggressive atmosphere. Except for the power connections, the cable can be installed in liquids. The power connection at one end makes the installation of the heating system very economical.
Constant wattage cable consists of many heating circuits (length = distance between heater bus connections) connected in parallel and can be cut to length anywhere between the heater bus connections. When the cable is cut, the remainder of the heating circuit to the next heater bus connection can be used as a cold end.
Constant wattage cable is less expensive than Self regulating cable, does not have the temperature sensing properties, so it is highly recommended that it is temperature controlled to turn off at a set temperature by a thermostat device.
Benefits
-Connection at one end
-Full loading up to nominal temperature
-No connection cable required
-Cut to length
-Constant loading per meter
-Highly flexible
-Also for the food industry
