Description
CAHT high temperature self-regulating trace heating cable consist of a heating semiconductor
plastic element which adapts its calorific power (W/m) on each point depending on the
local temperature. This intrinsic feature of the semiconductor heating element allows
in some cases to dispense of using a thermostatic controler (self-regulation).
They can be cut on the adjusted length directly on the job site.
For your heat tracing installations and especially on temperature maintenance of hot water
systems, we strongly recommend the combination of our electronic THS / E controllers with
a Pt1000 sensor to apply directly on the pipe.
The latter are equipped with a current absorber for start up of self regulating trace
heating cables. They are the guarantee of a rigorous and reliable electronics regulation
(energy saving of + 50%).
The fluoropolymer insulation is the gaurantee of a perfect thermal and chemical resistance.
Advantages for this self-regulating trace heating cable
– can be cut directly on the adjusted length on the site.
– allow derivation from a unique and single feed point.
– semiconductor heating element adapts its power locally.
– good flexibility allowing the tracing of hydraulic organs (valves, pumps, …)
– allow overlaps during implementation (self-regulating).
– maxi exposure temp energized : 120° C (power ON) / de-energized (power OFF) : 200°C.
– construction in accordance with the European standards in force
