CABT low-temperature self-regulating heating cables consist of a semi-conductive plastic heating element that adjusts its heat output (W/m) at every point according to the local temperature. This intrinsic characteristic of the semi-conductive heating element makes it possible, in certain cases, to dispense with a control system (self-regulation).
They can be cut to length on site, making them very easy to install.
Range of applications
CABT 115V
- Freeze protection for cold water, chilled water, and greasy wastewater piping
- Temperature maintenance for pipelines and hot water tanks not exceeding 65°C (depending on heat loss)
Benefits
- can be cut to the desired length on-site
- allow for branching from a single power supply point
- feature a semi-conductive heating element that adjusts its power output locally
- highly flexible, allowing for tracing around hydraulic components (valves, pumps, etc.)
- can overlap during installation (self-regulating)
- CABT 115V heating cables withstand temperatures of up to 65°C when energized and 75°C when de-energized
Operationnal principle
Power output varies locally at every point based on the temperature of the surface on which the heating cable is installed.
The power output is determined by the manufacturer in accordance with standard EN 62395.
