Heating Cable: Cent...
1. Heating Cable Power Range
Heating cable power is typically expressed in watts per meter (W/m). Common specifications are as follows:
Low-power cable: 10-20 W/m
Applications: Pipe insulation, soil frost protection (e.g., eaves snow melting), and low-temperature supplemental floor heating.
Features...
1. Snow melting principle of heating cable
Electro thermal conversion
The alloy resistance wire inside the cable generates heat after being energized (the surface temperature is generally 40-50℃), and melts the snow through heat conduction, thereby preventing the formation of ice dams.
Self-r...
1. Comparison of working principles
Self-regulating heating cable:
Principle: Using positive temperature coefficient (PTC) material, the resistance increases with the temperature, and the power automatically decreases when the set temperature is reached, thus achieving self-regulation.
Features: Goo...
Gutter heat cables typically reach temperatures between 100°F and 150°F (38°C to 65°C), but the exact maximum temperature depends on the type of cable:
1. Self-Regulating Heat Cables (Most Common & Safest)
Max Temp: ~ 120°F to 150°F (49°C to 65...
Checking if a heat cable (also called heat tape) is working properly is important to prevent freezing pipes or roof ice dams. Here’s how to verify its functionality:
1. Visual Inspection
Check for physical damage (cracks, frayed wires, or burnt spots).
Look for indica...
Roof heating cables, also known as heat tapes or de-icing cables, typically reach temperatures between 100°F to 150°F (38°C to 65°C) when operating. The exact temperature depends on the type and brand of the cable, as well as the specific application (e.g., for gutters, dow...
With the continuous advancement of industrial modernization, various new technologies and equipment have been widely used in industrial production. As an efficient, safe and reliable heating equipment, electric heating cable has been increasingly used in industrial production in recent years. This a...
Heating cables are crucial in various industrial applications, playing a vital role in maintaining optimal temperatures, preventing freeze-related issues, and ensuring equipment and processes run smoothly. From chemical processing plants to oil and gas industries, the benefits of using heating cable...
As winter approaches, the risk of freezing pipes becomes a significant concern, especially in colder climates. Frozen pipes can lead to serious damage, including water leaks and extensive repairs. This is where heating cables come into play, offering an effective solution for preventing freeze-relat...
Heating cables are versatile tools used in a variety of applications, from keeping pipes from freezing to providing cozy warmth underfoot in residential spaces. Their ability to efficiently convert electrical energy into heat makes them essential for both industrial and domestic use. In this blog, w...
