Applications

In cold weathers, pipework transporting water or various chemicals needs to be heat traced to prevent from freezing or bursting. Thermal insulation itself is not capable of stopping them from loosing heat. For instance, 25mm bore pipe at 5℃ even with 25mm thick insulation will reach sub-zero within a hour in an ambient temperature of -10 ℃. Steam tracing was not a viable option, either. It caused major inconveniences like corrosion, condensation and steam leakage. Electric heat tracing with self-regulating heating cable having a low power output is the most convenient, efficient and reliable solution.

Pipework transporting oil or various chemicals needs to be heat traced to keep them flow from solidification or clogging. Thermal insulation itself is not capable of stopping them from loosing heat. For instance, Bunker C oil needs to be kept at no lower than 60℃ to flow through pipework. Steam tracing was not a viable option, either. It caused major inconveniences like corrosion, condensation and steam leakage. Electric heat tracing with self-regulating heating cable having a low power output is the most convenient, efficient and reliable solution.

Electric heat tracing is a popular option for snow melting and de-icing of various exposed outdoor facilities like roads, ramps, public paths, walkways and stairways etc. The snow melting requires high power, typically 300 watt/m². And the ice prevention requires steady load of 150 w/m² or less for successful operation. Self- regulating heating system with unique control from Solco Pyroelec will save max. 80% of maintenance cost compared to other types of electric heating system.

In building industry, an appropriate temperature and time are required to cure concrete properly to meet the relevant building regulations, specially the hardness of the mould. Therefore in cold climates, they have no option but giving up concrete work and waiting until weather gets warm. Recently electric heat tracing was introduced but it often caused fire or electric fault as other types of heating cable buried in the foamed polyurethane layer burns itself. Electric heat tracing with self-regulating cable is the most convenient, efficient and reliable solution.

Floor warming is the most advanced heating method since pre-historic age. Ignorable temperature difference between the floor and the ceiling will provide most pleasant and healthy performance to human body. Typically it requires the output of 150 ~ 180 w/m² at 25℃ concrete slab for satisfactory operation. Self-regulating heating system combined with off-peak price scheme of electricity will provide most money-saving and pleasant heating solution.

Solco Pyroelec electrically traced tubing bundle products are designed to provide even heating to the tube (s) through-out the entire length of product and to obtain a thermal insulation configuration which will have the ultimate in efficiency and still produces a final product which is round and small enough to facilitate easy installation. The product design consists of a process tube (s), an electric heating element, moisture resistant, nonwicking, inorganic fibrous glass thermal insulation, and an outer covering of a smooth, continuously extruded polymer jacket.

In winter, the snow sitting on the top of the tall buildings such as bridge and roof melts by sun beam or by the reflected heat from the metallic part. And the part of molten snow flows back into the shaded and cold part of the building to freeze itself again and become a dangerous icicle hanging in height. It can be a potential danger to the pedestrian and cars passing under the bridge or near the roof. Solco Pyroelec self-regulating heating cable IcSR provides an instance performance to maintain the temperature of shaded and cold part of the building above 10℃ to prevent any icicle from forming.

Explosion proof products must be able to contain any explosion originating within its housing and prevent sparks from within its housing from igniting vapors, gases, dust, or fibers in the air surrounding it. Therefore, explosion proof, when referring to electrical enclosures, does not mean that it is able to withstand an exterior explosion. Instead, it is the enclosures ability to prevent an internal spark or explosion from causing a much larger blast.
