Heat tracing system for freeze protection of process piping

Self-regulating electric heat tracing for cold-climate operations

-15 °C
Freeze protection maintained at design ambient
24/7
Continuous process continuity in winter

⚠️ The operational challenge

  • •Severe pipe freezing on winter nights (-10 °C to -15 °C)
  • •Operations stalled until midday natural thaw
  • •Ice expansion causing leaks and ruptures
  • •Prior steam methods caused thermal shock and flange failures

💡 Engineering solution

  • ✓Design with self-regulating heat-trace cable (≈25 W/m at 10 °C)
  • ✓Longitudinal installation with aluminum tape for heat transfer
  • ✓Mineral-wool insulation with weather jacket
  • ✓Ambient and line thermostat automation

🛠️ Equipment & technologies supplied

Self-regulating heat-trace cable
Thermally conductive aluminum fixing tape
Outdoor pipe insulation
Termination, splice kits, and NEMA 4X junction boxes
