Description
Parallel Circuit (Cut-to-Length) Constant Wattage Heat Tracer
This robust heating cable provides predictable, fixed-output heat for freeze protection and temperature maintenance across diverse applications. Its parallel resistance design allows for on-site customization, making installation efficient and flexible.
Core Technology
The Cut-to-Length Heat Tracer is a parallel resistance heating strip. It utilizes a thermally stable nichrome heating wire to create multiple independent heating zones along the cable. This design ensures a constant, predictable wattage output per meter and allows the cable to be cut and terminated in the field to the exact length required.
Key Features & Benefits
- Customizable Length: The parallel design allows the cable to be cut-to-length at the job site, reducing installation time and material waste.
- Constant Heat Output: Delivers a consistent, fixed wattage (e.g., $25 \text{ to } 65 \text{ W/m}$) ideal for maintaining specific process temperatures. Note: Requires a temperature controller to prevent overheating.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for freeze protection and temperature maintenance on metal or plastic pipes, tanks, and vessels.
- Durable Construction: Features a rugged, water-resistant Fluoropolymer (Teflon/FEP) or Silicon jacket for protection, allowing for use in corrosive environments and easy pulling into trace conduits.
- Proven Reliability: Trusted for over 12 years with thousands of meters installed.
