Water lines and process pipework can become a real problem when ambient temperatures drop below freezing. It is only when products thaw that one realises the damage and expense a failed pipe can cause. Our Range of parallel circuit self regulating heating cables are inherently temperature safe and can be cut and terminated on site to suit the required application. Our range of heaters are most suitable for protection of pipes against freezing in winter,and low temperature maintenance to 30 C Incorporating our range of IP67 weatherproof air and pipe sensing thermostats, accurate protection and control of heating is achieved. Suitable for corrosive environments. For specific chemical resistance consult First Trace Heating.

W55 Introduction The W55 range of parallel circuit self regulating heating cables is the perfect solution for hot water temperature maintenance of pipes installed in offices, hotels, sports centres, domestic dwellings etc. Our range of heaters provide instant hot water from every tap or shower unit when installed on a non-circulating installation. Heaters regulate their power output to compensate for the variation in water and ambient air temperatures. Our heaters eliminate the need for designing complex re-circulating systems with pumps, valves and return pipes, thereby providing low installation costs. The temperature in the pipes are maintained by varying the thickness of the thermal insulation in line with the pipe diameters. Insulation thicknesses are based on those commercially available in order to maintain the minimum temperatures stated in an ambient of 18 C. For exact temperature control a temperature control device may be required. If in doubt please consult First Trace Heating Specification Maximum Exposure Temperature 100 C (continuous power on) Maximum Maintenance Temperature 65 C Minimum Installation Temperature -40 C Minimum Bending Radius 35mm at -40 C; 13mm at 20 C Supply Voltage 230v (110v on request) Maximum Circuit Length 100m (20Amps MCB type C) Thickness 6mm Width 12.5mm Electrical Circuit Design Maximum Circuit Lengths. 55 C start up temperature.
