With
the use of Heat Trace electric heat trace cables, hot water can be maintained in piping
without the use of re-circulation systems. The same technology used
in the 2700 series heating cable is employed to eliminate the need for
expensive return piping, valves, pumps, and maintenance associated
with re-circulation systems.
Why Choose Heat Trace?
Each heating cable type is designed for the heat loss associated with a particular environment (static water insulated piping of a particular size and at a given ambient temperature). When no hot water is being used, the heating cable produces heat to maintain the desired temperature. No thermostat is required. The electric heat trace cable will adjust its heat output to minimize electrical consumption costs. For conveniece to the installer, the heating cable is offered in 120, 208 and 240-volt versions.
Non-hazardous and hazardous (Division 2) locations The
2700 family of self-regulating heating cable can maintain
fluid temperatures up to 150°F. Conservatively rated
for a maximum exposure of 185°F, this electric heat trace cable series
has passed the IEEE-515 32 week service life performance
benchmark test at 230°F. A variety of cable constructions
are available for a particular application.
Hazardous (Division 1) locations Applications to these areas require separate design information that must be reviewed and approved by Heat Trace.
Non-hazardous and hazardous (Division 2) locations The
2300 family of heating cable is self-regulating and can maintain
fluid temperatures up to 250°F. Generally these cables
are used when the 2700 cable cannot be applied (i.e. Pipes
that are steam cleaned and high heat loss applications
- over 10 watts per foot). As with the 2700 series, a
variety of cable constructions are available for a particular
application.
Hazardous (Division 1) locations Applications to these areas require separate design information that must be reviewed and approved by Heat Trace.
Non-hazardous and hazardous (Division 2) locations The
2000 family of self-regulating heating cable maintains
fluid temperatures up to 375°F. Generally these cables
are used when the 2300 electric heat trace cable cannot be applied (i.e. Pipes
that are steam cleaned above 150psi and higher heat loss
applications - over 15 watts per foot). As with the 2700
and 2300 series, a variety of cable constructions are
available for a particular application.
