Heat tracing self-regulating heating cable for pipe heating and frost protection

05 Jan.,2023

 

electrical heat tracing calculation

A universal self-regulating heating cable can be used in versatile fields of application. This heating cable automatically adjusts its heat output to the change of the ambient temperature. You can use any cable length without changing the properties with no risk of overheating, even with a cable crossing. Of course, there is the possibility for a connection to a frost protection thermostat. The heating cable is very durable. This cable has no UV resistive outer shell and it cannot be used for gutter heating. A tube with a heating tape should be insulated with thermal insulation.


AREAS OF APPLICATION

  • Pipes outdoors and near surface installed pipes;

  • Pipes in buildings and parking garages;

  • Warming of sewage pipes in kitchens to prevent hardening of fat deposits;

  • Heating of pipes for technological processes;

  • Warming of the root zone in greenhouse and early bed.
