Product Information

Trace Heating, in addition to pipe insulation, prevents pipework, tanks, and vessels in your facility from freezing over and causing serious damage. Trace heating also maintains the temperature of the water in the hot water pipework, to help prevent Legionnaires disease from forming within. Trace heating has been used in different forms for over 100 years and is still the most effective freeze prevention and temperature maintenance solution available on the market today. It's especially dangerous for the elderly, smokers and those with existing health conditions such as chronic respiratory issues.

Legionella bacterias are frequently found in water. The bacteria increase where temperature levels are in between 20-45°C and nutrients are readily available. The bacteria are inactive below 20°C and cannot withstand temperatures above 60°C. NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternativesLegionella germs are typically discovered in hot water pipes which feed your taps and showers at home along with in industrial/commercial settings like hot tubs and spas. Constant Wattage Heating Cables: These trace heating cables use two normal copper conductor wires (neutral and live). The conducting material produces uniform heating power (Watts/m) over the entire length of the cable.

As discussed earlier, pipe situated outdoors are highly susceptible to freezing, which could lead to ruptures and other issues. Trace heating cables, warm the pipes and prevent the fluid from freezing over, in turn preventing bursts and structural damage. Preventing fire fighting sprinkler systems from freezing: Self-regulating trace heating cable is able to change its power output to make up for variations in water and ambient temperature levels. Therefore the water within the pipe can be maintained above 55 degrees celcius even if there is an issue with the hot water tank and system for example, which will prevent the legionella bacteria from being able to form and reproduce. What are the different types of heating cables?

End-Termination Kits: End termination kits are used wherever there is an end in the pipeline and heating cables need to be terminated. Terminating and neutralising the cable run with end kits helps to improve workplace safety. End-termination kits help determine any fluctuations in the power supplied. Tracing these fluctuations will be much easier if a signal lamp/indicator is added to the end-seal. Self-regulating heating cables : They differ from the constant wattage cables, both in make-up and performance. Often called Heat trace cables or Heating cables , they regulate temperature, by automatically adjusting power output based on the surrounding temperature. Pipe Lagging prevents the heat generated by the heat trace cable from dissipating into the environment. The heat is supplied using thermostats which are hooked up to the mains power, which then supplies the cable with just the right amount of Amps to sustain or achieve a target temperature of the pipe, which is set on the thermostat itself manually or through the Building Management System or BMS. Is trace heating important? In this blog, we will be discussing all about trace heating. We attempt to answer some of the important questions relating to this topic. Solco Pyrolec’s HSR self-regulation heating cable helps in frost protection of water pipelines and in hot water maintenance applications. It protects the pipework in your facility from extreme temperatures. It keeps issues like pipe freezing, bursts, sweating and others to a bare minimum.
