Self Regulating Heat Trace Cable

Process temperature maintenance or freeze protection htsx self regulating heating cables are designed specifically for process temperature maintenance or freeze protection where high temperature exposure capability is required.

Self regulating heat trace cable.

Ideal for freeze protection and low temperature process maintenance such as water pipe heating and roof gutter freeze protection. Self regulating heat cable is commonly used for freeze protection of water and drain lines and for protecting residential and commercial roofs and gutters from ice dams. Raychem brand self regulating heating cables consist of two parallel conductors embedded in a heating core made of conductive polymer. More importantly all these heating cables exhibit heat trace s it s inherent temperature safety technology.

They are suitable for use on asphalt or wood shingles metal roofing or membrane type roofing and downspouts that freeze and clog. Self regulating cables are flexible can be cut to length in the field and can be single overlapped without fear of burnout in areas where complex piping and equipment require additional heat trace cable. You will also find that we have heat trace cable that s safe to use on pvc. For freeze protection you will want a low to medium temperature self regulating heat trace cable the temperature rating is for the heat cable s outer jacket and has nothing to do with the actual temperature of the cable.

It s occurs when a self regulating tracer energised under the most onerous conditions e g. We stock several varieties of heat tape if you determine that none of the products below is what you are looking for. Easyheat sr trace cable prevents costly damage to roofs caused by ice formation and snow accumulation in gutters downspouts and roof valleys. Self limiting self regulating heat tracing cable raychem rpg provides self regulating heating cables that automatically adjust their power output to compensate for temperature changes.

Htsx withstands the temperature exposures associated with steam purging. This video courtesy of raychem provides a short but informative understanding of how self regulating heat tracing cable sometimes referred to as heat tap. Self regulating heating cables self regulating self limiting heating cable often called heat trace cable or heating tape automatically adjusts heat output based on surface temperature. Coiled up in a substantially adiabatic enclosure has surface.
