Read on for our top Thermon product recommendations, and learn how these innovative solutions can help safeguard industrial operations – all winter long.
What are heat trace cables?
Heat trace cables are electrical cables designed to generate heat along their length. Wrapping around or running alongside pipes, tanks, and equipment, they prevent critical systems from freezing and ensure steady process temperatures.
A versatile industrial heating solution
Heat trace cables are used in a variety of ways in industrial settings. For example:
- Preventing frozen pipes in water lines and safety systems
- Maintaining product flow in process or chemical lines
- Protecting equipment in outdoor or unheated areas
- Melting snow and ice for tracks, roofs, gutters, and concrete surfaces
Energy-efficient warmth where it’s needed
Heat trace cables are also self-regulating, meaning they automatically adjust as conditions change. When the ambient temperature drops, leading to heat loss in the equipment, the cable responds by increasing its heat output, and vice versa.
This allows for dependable freeze protection and temperature maintenance – with minimal energy waste. And unlike traditional heating systems, heat trace cables apply warmth exactly where it’s needed, improving energy efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
Why Thermon Heat Trace Cables Stand Out
Thermon’s self-regulating cables feature an advanced conductive polymer core that increases heat output when temperatures fall – and decreases it when they rise. This built-in responsiveness provides precise, energy-efficient temperature control and reduces the risk of overheating.
