We are providing complete range of heat tracing components for applications
including oil and gas production and storage facilities,
petrochemical plants, refineries, power generation, water treatment plants
|
|
The most common trace heating applications include:
-
Frost protection
-
Temperature Maintenance
-
Under floor heating
-
Snow and ice prevention / melting
-
Anti-condensation.
-
maintain the elevated temperatures for grease disposal line and fluid
lines.

Typical residential applications for trace heating are the protection of water
pipes against freezing and placement on roofs or gutters to melt ice during
winter months. When trace heating is used in conjunction with common foam
pipe insulation, the insulation will often melt, and precautions should be taken
to avoid this.
Industrial applications for trace heating range from chemical industry, oil
refineries, nuclear power plants, food factories. For example, wax is a
material which starts to solidify below 70°C which is usually far above the
temperature of the surrounding air. Therefore the pipeline must be provided
with an external source of heat to prevent the pipe and the material inside
it from cooling down. This can also be done using very thin steam pipes
instead of an electric heating element but is prone to leaks etc...
