Hot Water Temperature Maintenance
With
the use of Heat Trace heating cable products, 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 cable produces heat to maintain the desired temperature. No thermostat is required. The pipe heat trace cable will adjust its heat output to minimize electrical consumption costs. For conveniece to the installer, the cable is offered in 120, 208 and 240-volt versions.
Low Temperature Exposure (up to 185°F)
Non-hazardous and hazardous Division 2 locations:
The 2700 family of self-regulating heating cable can maintain fluid temperatures up to 150°F (66°C). Conservatively rated for a maximum exposure of 185°F (85°C), this cable series has passed the IEEE-515 32 week service life performance benchmark test at 230°F (110°C). 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.
Medium Temperature Exposure (up to 366°F)
Non-hazardous and hazardous Division 2 locations:
The 2300 family of self-regulating pipe heat trace cables can maintain fluid temperatures up to 250°F (121°C). 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 heating cable, 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.
High Temperature Exposure (up to 450°F)
Non-hazardous and hazardous Division 2 locations:
The 2000 family of self-regulating heating cables can maintain fluid temperatures up to 375°F (190°C). Generally this heating cable is used when the 2300 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.
Hazardous (Division 1) locations:
Applications to these areas require separate design information that must be reviewed and approved by Heat Trace.
