Product Information
SRF/SRL Series Heaters
Heat-Line offers a complete line of low temperature industrial and commercial grade self-regulating heating cables. These cables are available in 1000 foot reels or custom cut to specific length requirements. To complement these heating cables Heat-Line offers a large array of power connection and termination control kits. Insulation and an optional thermostat can be added to the systems to optimize energy efficiency.
CARAPACE
Heat-Line also offers CARAPACE which is a high performance, freeze protected polyethylene water pipe. Connection kits are available to allow you to cut the product to the desired length in the field. CARAPACE is constructed using a high density cNSFus approved polyethylene pipe for potability. The self-regulating heating cable is extruded directly onto the outer surface of the pipe. The extruded layer is of high density polyethylene which provides a protective shell to guard against mechanical injury while ensuring the conductive cores of the heating cable remain in unyielding contact with the pipe wall. CARAPACE provides superior thermal heat transfer and unsurpassed energy efficiency when combined with thermal insulation and a thermostat.
Product Application
SRF/SRL Series Heaters
Heat-Line Cut-to-Length freeze protection heating cables are ideal for keeping metallic and non-metallic pipes from freezing. These heating cables provide safe, reliable heat tracing for freeze protection of pipes, valves, tanks and similar applications. In commercial construction applications, these heaters can be used on a variety of applications such as; cooling towers, chilled water and plumbing pipes, sump discharge pipes, fire protection system piping and exposed P-traps. For Industrial applications, there usage can include; water treatment facilities, vessel freeze protection and safety lines. Cut-to-Length heating cables are also ideal for process temperature maintenance, pipe freeze protection, fluid flow and viscosity maintenance. Medium and high temperature industrial and commercial grade self-regulating heating cables are also available.
CARAPACE
The cut-to-length capability of CARAPACE allows it to be tailored to length and installed on site by qualified trades people. CARAPACE is available in reel lengths up to 1000' and can be used in new applications or to replace an existing system. CARAPACE is also available factory finished to length. In applications where pipes will be exposed to atmospheric (free) air, closed-cell or other approved weatherproof insulation is required. Insulation will help to maintain energy efficiency and cold temperature reliability. Insulation is recommended for use in all new applications; however any pipe subjected to outside air must be completely insulated to retain the heat within the pipe.
