Self regulating Heating Cable
Self-regulating heating cable
TRACECO™ and ESR™ self-regulating heating cables, also called heating cables, electric tracers, are electric cables which have been developed to protect against freezing and/or maintain pipes, tanks, flanges, valves, pumps or any other surfaces. Self-regulating heating cables are used in buildings, in industry, in agro, to protect pipes, tanks, containers, farms, as well as for defrosting gutters and downspouts, defrosting negative cold room door seals. For maintaining the temperature of pipes, tanks, containers... They can be cut to any length and avoid any overheating. Easy to use.

Self regulating heating cable "Medium temperature"
FOR TEMPERATURE MAINTENANCE, FOR DOMESTIC HOT WATER, WARM WATER PIPE, OILY WASTE WATER, TANK, VALVES, ALSO TO AVOID THE RISK OF LEGIONELLA, ,..
By using our heat tracer type TRACECO-W you get the best heat tracing system. They are designed to maintain networks of warm water temperature and avoid the risk of legionella.
Self Limiting or Self Regulating Technology allows easy operation safely. The power changes depending on the temperature and prevents overheating.
When it is cold, the polymer shrinks and facilitates the flow of current, thereby increasing the temperature of the cable. As it gets warmer, the polymer expands and prevents the current: the Self Regulating cable heats less than before.
Finally, a « parallel » technology allows the cable to be cut to desired length directly on the site. Exact fit the length of heating cable for your needs.

What is self-regulating heating cable?
It is a heating cable formed by a semi-conductive matrix inserted between two conductors, to which an electric voltage is applied.
The more the matrix heats up, the more its resistance increases, until the cable reaches thermal equilibrium with its surrounding environment. At stabilization, the resistance is maximum and the power dissipated is minimum.
Its construction is similar to resistors supplied in parallel, whose calorific power is independent of the length of the cabl
What are the advantages of heating cables?
Heating cables, tracers, ribbons, or self-regulating or self-limiting heating cords can save energy.
In addition to this, as the powers per meter are independent of the cable length, the cables cut to the exact length desired without changing the power per meter. They are more robust, and have a longer life span.
Inherently, it is not possible to exceed the maximum temperature for which they are designed which brings an additional security (this is valid for all our self-regulating heating cables).
What are the main applications, where electrical self limiting heating cables are used?
Self-regulating heating cables have two main functions: frost protection and maintenance at low, medium or high temperatures.
- Frost protection of pipes, tanks, containers ....
- Defrosting gutters and gutter descents.
- Defrosting door seals in cold rooms.
- Roof snow removal.
- Temperature maintenance of pipes, tanks, containers ...

FROST PROTECTING TAPE IS A RELIABLE AND ECONOMICAL SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEMS OF FROST PROTECTION
Thanks to the thermostat and the self limiting heating cable
Applications:
GELTRACE™ range is used for the frost protection of pipes. In the protigel™+ version, the thermostat automatically switches on the tape when the temperature falls under +5°C. It enables substantial energy savings and offers in complement the advantages and the safety of a self-regulating tape.
Avoids drainings and permanent use of hydraulic networks. Easy to implement. Available on stock.
Adjustable length according to the network size. Tape finished and controlled in the factory.
No overheating risk thanks to its self regulating system.
When it is cold, the polymer shrinks and facilitates the flow of current, thereby increasing the temperature of the cable. As it gets warmer, the polymer expands and prevents the current: the Self Regulating cable heats less than before.
Finally, a « parallel » technology allows the cable to be cut to desired length directly on the site. Exact fit the length of heating cable for your needs.
