WHAT IS HEAT TRACING ?
Heat tracing is the application of a controlled amount of electric surface heating to pipework, tanks, valves or process equipment to either maintain its temperature (by replacing heat lost through insulation, also referred to as frost protection) or to affect an increase in its temperature.
The primary function of heat trace cable systems is the prevention of freezing within water pipes and subsequently bursting.
With temperatures dropping during the Winter months, freezing pipes are always a major concern for homeowners, businesses and industry alike. By maintaining the ambient temperature inside the pipe, frost cannot build up and pipes will not freeze. This means pipes will not burst due to ice expansion.
Did You Know….. A gallon of water, when frozen, will expand to a volume 9% greater than the original gallon.
In addition to frost protection, heat tracing cables provide heat maintenance and heat recovery.

Self Regulating Heat Tracing Cables
Self regulating or self limiting heat tracing cables in effect also provide a controlled wattage per metre of cable but with a distinct difference, both in terms of construction and performance.
The live and neutral wires are co-extruded into a polymer based material containing particles of carbon, providing a resistance path and hence circuit along the length of the cable.
However, this resistance and therefore the output of the cable varies depending upon the temperature, due to microscopic expansion and contraction of the polymer. This type of cable then has the feature of reducing its power output as temperature increases and conversely at lower temperatures, the power is increased.
