Project Description
The constant heating cables PCHT consist of heating zones that dissipate a constant heating power whatever the environment temperature. Constant wattage heating cables PCHT can be cut to lenght on the heat tracing site, they allow connecting branches from a single point of electrical power supply (power along the whole cable lenght) and are mainly dedicated to the following surface heating applications :
APPLICATIONS RANGE
- Freeze protection of liquid-food pipes withstanding high pressure steam rincing.
- Temperature maintenance of pipes, tanks and reservoirs up to 120 ° C.
- Pre-heating and anti-condensing of hoppers, filters, heavy fuel oil lines.
- Pre-heating of loading/off-loading lines or of bituminous products.
- Temperature maintenance in chemical and industrial environments.
MAIN BENEFITS
- Withstand superheated water sterilization or high pressure vapour sterilization
- No thermal ageing of heating resistance wire (alloy)
- No peak inrush current enabling a good electrical protection
- Constant wattage heating cables PCHT are build-in cold connection due to the manufacturing design
- Cut to the requested length on-site
- Fluoropolymer insulation resistant to acids, bases and most chemical products
- Temperature class 260°C
- Allow connecting branches from a single point of electrical power supply (power delivred all along the whole cable length)
- Very easy to implement
- Standard voltage 230 V and 400 V
- Optional specific voltage 24 V to 1500 V (contact us)
OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE
MAIN FEATURE
- Maximum length : 110 m or 1500 W
- Maximum exposure temperature power off : 260 °C
- Maximum exposure temperature power on : according to power output :
- PCHT 10 W/m = 150°C, PCHT 20 W/m = 130°C, PCHT 30 W/m = 120°C
- Thermal protection : rated current * 1.25
- Compulsory residual-current circuit breaker : 30 mA
