Why Install Trace Heating For Process Temperature Maintenance?

Electric trace heating tapes are vital in ensuring that process temperatures of pipes and vessels are maintained to allow for smooth and efficient running of process plants equipment.

To minimise the effects of heat loss, trace heating is used in conjunction with thermal insulation to supply a heat source to replace this heat loss and therefore maintain the pipe temperature. Typically a pipe sensing trace heating thermostat is used to sense the pipe temperature and energise the heating system when required.

By utilising the correct type of temperature maintenance heating cable, thermal insulation and temperature control, process pipework will operate efficiently for many years.
