Description
The ThermTrace Micro series heating cable is a self-regulating heating cable designed for anti-icing and frost protection installations. The low power of this cable allows for protection against snow and ice on pipes, gutters, pipelines, and other uses where a low but positive temperature is needed.
Applications
ThermTrace Micro series heating tapes find their application as:
- heating of tanks
- heating of pipes and pipelines
protection against freezing of roofs, gutters, or garage door tracks
- heating of process lines
Availability:
We have cables in stock available in large quantities:
- Self-regulating heating cable 11TTM-2-BO
- Self-regulating heating cable 17TTM-2-BO
Operation:
Self-regulating heating tapes consist of two parallel conductors embedded in a semi-conductive self-regulating matrix. This means that the heating cable automatically responds to changes in external conditions. As the temperature rises, the synthetic material expands through molecular forces, and the connections between carbon molecules decrease, reducing the load. When the temperature drops, the load increases because the connections between carbon molecules grow. Therefore, the heating power changes in accordance with the surface temperature to which the tape is applied.
