Electric Heat TraceElectric heat trace is most commonly placed on exterior piping systems that are subject to freezing conditions. After the heat trace cabling is applied the piping system is insulated to retain heat and to protect the cable.
Heat trace is often provided to maintain temperatures on pipelines in manufacturing processes. In commercial facilities it is becoming more and more common to see heat tracing systems provided on domestic hot water piping in lieu of providing a recirculation line. Grease waste piping may also be heat traced to ensure the grease stays warm and fluid to prevent clogs. |
