Self Regulating Heat Trace Cable

Raychem brand self regulating heating cables consist of two parallel conductors embedded in a heating core made of conductive polymer.

Self regulating heat trace cable.

Self regulating cables are flexible can be cut to length in the field and can be single overlapped without fear of burnout in areas where complex piping and equipment require additional heat trace cable. For freeze protection you will want a low to medium temperature self regulating heat trace cable the temperature rating is for the heat cable s outer jacket and has nothing to do with the actual temperature of the cable. Htsx withstands the temperature exposures associated with steam purging. This video courtesy of raychem provides a short but informative understanding of how self regulating heat tracing cable sometimes referred to as heat tap.

They are suitable for use on asphalt or wood shingles metal roofing or membrane type roofing and downspouts that freeze and clog. Self regulating heating cables self regulating self limiting heating cable often called heat trace cable or heating tape automatically adjusts heat output based on surface temperature. The self regulating heating cable automatically varies its heat output as the surrounding temperature changes. Heat trace cable sometimes called heat tape or heating cable is used for multiple applications sometimes these terms are confusing so be sure you are ordering the correct item for your application.

Coiled up in a substantially adiabatic enclosure has surface. Ideal for freeze protection and low temperature process maintenance such as water pipe heating and roof gutter freeze protection. It s occurs when a self regulating tracer energised under the most onerous conditions e g. Easyheat sr trace cable prevents costly damage to roofs caused by ice formation and snow accumulation in gutters downspouts and roof valleys.

You will also find that we have heat trace cable that s safe to use on pvc. We stock several varieties of heat tape if you determine that none of the products below is what you are looking for. More importantly all these heating cables exhibit heat trace s it s inherent temperature safety technology. Chromalox srl and srm e self regulating heat trace cables provide the most versatility in heat trace designs and applications.
