Constant wattage parallel electric heating tape
The heating value per unit length of the constant power heating belt is constant. The longer the heating belt used, the greater the output power. The heating tape can be cut to length according to actual needs on site, and is flexible, and can be laid close to the surface of the pipeline. The braided layer of the outer layer of the heating belt can play a role in heat transfer and heat dissipation, improve the overall strength of the heating belt, and also be used as a safety grounding wire.
In addition to the characteristics of a single-phase heating cable, the three-phase heating cable also has the following characteristics:
1. The maximum allowable length of a three-phase heating belt with the same power is three times that of a single heating belt
2. The three-phase belt has a large cross section and a large heat transfer area, which can improve the transmission efficiency.
Generally used for heat tracing and insulation of small pipelines or short pipelines in pipe network systems
The three-phase parallel tape is generally suitable for heat tracing and insulation of large pipe diameters, pipe network system pipelines and tanks.
1.Are you factory?
Yes, we are factory, all customers are more than welcome to visit our factory .
2.Should heat tape feel warm to touch?
Feel along the length of the heat tape. It should be getting warm. If the heat tape fails to warm up, after 10 minutes, the thermostat or the heat tape itself is bad.
3.Does heat trace need to be insulated?
If you can see the pipe at any point it MUST be insulated. Wind-chill and extreme cold ambient temperatures are the main factors that lead to heat loss, causing your pipe to freeze even when protected by heat trace. ... Being in a boxed enclosure or big-o drain pipe is not enough protection, it must be insulated.
4.How warm should heat tape be?
The better quality tapes use a thermal sensor embedded in the tape to turn on the heating process once the temperature drops to around 38 degrees F (2 degrees C). Manufacturers instructions are provided on the package on how to properly install the tape.
5.Can heat tape cause a fire?
According to the CPSC, an estimated 3,300 residential fires involving heat tapes or cables occur each year. These fires result in 20 deaths, 150 injuries and $27 million in property losses each year. In many cases, improperly installed tapes or heating cables cause the fires.
