Design Consideration to Raise/Maintain Temperatures
We can design Trace Heating solutions to either Raise or Maintain temperatures of materials. Below is the information we would need from you to design such a solution:
Engineering - 'Maintain' Design Considerations
- Minimum ambient temperature
- The maintaining the temperature medium
- The cable exposure temperature
- Pipe diameter and length or diameter of the tank and height (surface area)
- Insulation Materials –type, thickness and thermal conductivity
- Operating Voltage
- Environment: Hazardous area? If hazardous T rating? Corrosive? Outside/Inside?
- Mechanical –valves, flanges, supports
Engineering - 'Raise' Design Considerations
- As for maintain design but also must consider the following;
- Desired time in which to raise a temperature
- Starting temperature
- Desired process temperature
- Material in vessel/pipe, it’s density and specific heat capacity
Have a Trace Heating requirement in mind? Let us take a look at your requirement and consider a design for you, contact us here.
Our heat tracing design engineers are vastly experienced, why not try us out via our heat tracing EPC design form?
