As you review the Heat-Line product group, you will see the unique style and engineering that is employed in every design. All Heat-Line products are self-regulating, a far superior technology that is safer, more efficient, and much less costly to operate. For the first time, unlike other heating cable systems, Heat-Line self-regulating products allow the use of thermal pipe insulation. Insulation dramatically reduces the amount of energy required. Prior to Heat-Line and self-regulating heating cable technology, heat traced water pipe would never have been insulated because of the risk of over-heating and causing a fire. Self-regulating heating cables automatically adjust heat output so there is never any worry about under heating or overheating. Heat is applied only where and when it is needed, further reducing energy costs. Not only do Heat-line products provide a cost efficient freeze protect solution, our energy efficient heating cable systems are eco-friendly as well. Since Heat-line's self-regulating technology delivers heat only when required to maintain water from freezing at any given time, energy is never wasted. Depending on the product selected, Heat-Line products can use as little as 0.5 watts per foot or as much as 9 watts per foot in harsher climates. Energy efficient thermal pipe insulation further reduces energy consumption. Persevering energy not only saves money, but is environmentally responsible. There are also many smart heating cable freeze proofing situations and custom applications that Heat-Line can solve that you may not have considered before. For example, they are now building threshold heaters for the transportation industry and they have created a low voltage heater for a specialized diesel engine application that in combination with a hydrogen injection technology reduces fuel consumption while reducing emissions by up to 40%. On farms, a common problem is livestock water sources that freeze up during the cold winter months. Heat-Line provides pipe, bowl and trough heating systems for this agricultural application. They have freeze protection systems for mobile firefighting valve and pump equipment that allow fire services to carry on with confidence even in the coldest weather situations. Recently they started supplying pipe freeze protection for www.powerloo.com outdoor pet waste disposal systems. Or how about commercial freezer door and walk in freezer perimeter anti icing cable systems. The applications and uses for reliable freeze protection is almost endless. Gone are the days when users were at the mercy of failure prone cheap hardware store heat tapes. Heat-Line pipe freeze protection is self-regulating, energy efficient, safe and reliable. Along with cost-effective operation, Heat-Line products offer maintenance reliability as well. All Heat-Line heating cables are specially blended combinations of polymer and conductive carbon that create electrical paths between parallel buss wires at every point along their circuit. The heater core contracts microscopically, as the surrounding ambient temperature cools. Resistance decreases and power output increases as the result of this contraction. The reduced power output minimizes operating energy costs and eliminates maintenance costs due to hotspots, or burnout's. Heat is supplied safely and efficiently only when and where needed. Paladin, an award winning cable that employs the superior performance and operating characteristics of Heat-Line self-regulating heating cable technology, provides exceptional ice freeze protection for roofs.
