Electrical trace heating Electrical trace heating provides a quick and easy way to achieve accurate and reliable temperature maintenance of a wide range of products in pipes, tanks, silos & hoppers. Due to the ease of design, installation, maintenance and overall cost, electric trace heating is being increasingly used in place of steam heating.
			Why use trace heating?
			Trace heating is required when a pipe, vessel or tank needs to be maintained at a higher temperature than the surrounding ambient temperature. Trace heating tapes, or cables, applied to the surface to be heated ensure correct temperature maintenance is achieved by replacing these unavoidable losses to the atmosphere. Application Process temperature maintenance of liquid, solids or gaseous material such as fuel oils, bitumen, petro chemicals, printing inks, gas pipelines, pharmaceutical and food processes. Freeze protection is also necessary for the correct operation of a number of refrigeration plants and systems.
