What is Heat Tracing?
Heat tracing uses low-voltage electric current and self-regulating polymers to provide just enough heat-producing resistance to prevent pipes, vessels, tools, or other equipment from freezing when ambient temperatures turn cold. Electrical heat tracing works with pipe and vessel coatings and insulation materials to deliver maximum protection.
Common Applications
Electric trace heat is used in any application where critical cold-sensitive equipment, raw materials, or products are exposed to freezing temperatures. It is widely used in:
- Oil and Gas: Preventing pipelines and storage vessels from slowing or freezing entirely in cold weather.
- Chemical Processing: Regulating the viscosity of chemicals for smooth and safe processing and transport.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Maintaining the temperature of food products to ensure quality and safety.
- Pharmaceuticals: Keeping ingredients at precise temperatures to protect the integrity of medications.
- Power Generation: Preventing condensation and freezing in power plant piping systems.
How Does It Work
Heat tracing uses a self-regulating polymer embedded in electric cables to control the temperature of pipes and systems. As temperatures drop, the polymer increases the current flow to limit heat loss and decreases it as temperatures rise. This helps safeguard pipes from freezing and maintains process temperatures.
