Self-regulating heating cables

Output power varies depending on temperature

DESCRIPTION

Parallel self-regulating heating cables decrease or increase the power depending on the change of ambient temperature. The cable provide power where it is needed. Because of this a thermostat is not always necessary. Cable length can be adjusted as appropriate and they will never overheat, even if positioned on top of each other. This facilitates installation on flanges and valves for example. Elektrotermija offers a broad range of self-regulating heating cables, individual control equipment, complete control cabinets and all accessories as termination kits and self adhesive tapes. We can also provide calculations and engineering. Self-regulating heating cables are used in freeze protection and maintaining an even temperature of pipes, valves, flanges and tanks.

APPLICATIONS

  • Ice and snow melting on roofs, gutters and downpipes, icicles preventing
  • Ice and snow melting on parking lots, entrance walkways, staircases and loading ramps
  • Frost protection of tubes, valves and containers
  • Temperature maintenance of pipes and tanks
  • Freezing and cooling equipment
  • Air-conditioning systems, climate plants
