04 Trace Heating
Trace 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.
Electric 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.
Cynebar • Trace Heating
Freeze protection, process temperature maintenance and hot water temperature maintenance. A temperature-dependant resistive element between two parallel copper conductors regulates and limits the heat output of the heating tape according to the ambient temperature.
• Parallel circuit confi guration allows easy design, planning and installation as heating tape can be cut to length as required on site, power output per length remains unaff ected.
• Self limiting heating output prevents risk
of overheating. For frost protection or non critical process temperature maintenance, no temperature control required.
• Can be used in explosive atmospheres without temperature limiter for a simplifi ed system.
Process temperature maintenance. Heating cable consists of two parallel, insulated copper busbars covered with silicone insulation. A resistance wire is wound around the silicone insulation. At 500 to 1000mm spacings the wire is soldered alternately to one of the busbars.

To prevent the ground from freezing (frost heave), causing structural damage to the cold room fl oor, heating cables are installed in the concrete under the insulation. Also at the entrance of the cold room when the door is opened humid warm air and cold air meet. The condensation generated will freeze and create ice on the fl oor. As the ice may cause accidents, a heating cable is installed in the concrete above the insulation in the area near the door.

07 Ceramic Infrared Emitters
Ceramic Infrared Emitters
Why use infrared heating?Infrared radiation is electromagnetic energy which is generated in a heat source. The resultant energy can be controlled and directed to specifi c objects where it is absorbed and then heat is created. Infrared energy passes through air at the speed of light with only negligible heating of airborne water vapour, carbon dioxide and dust particles. Infrared heating describes all emitted radiant energy between the wavelengths of 0.76 and 1000 microns. For industrial heating applications the practical wavelength range falls between 3 and 10 microns. Major forms of electric infrared heating are metal-sheathed tubular elements, quartz tubes & lamps, open coil wire elements and ceramic infrared emitters. Ceramic emitters have the highest infrared effi ciency of up to 96%. Ceramic emitters are best when the process requires:
• Gentle heat• Even heat• Accurate heat• Zone control• Energy effi ciency.
ApplicationsThe radiant energy of infrared emitters is suitable for a wide range of processes in many industries. In our table below we have listed just a few of the more common usages with an indication of the optimal emitter ratings to effi ciently carry out
Ceramic infrared emitters are a very effi cient heat source in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications – easy to install with a long operating life and low on maintenance: potential uses are only limited by the imagination.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS • All rectangular and square emitters come with integral
Type ’K’ thermocouples. This reduces downtime when your ‘emitter with the thermocouple’ fails.
• Thermocouple controlled accurate face temperature allows you to achieve the most effi cient wavelength for the task.
• Universal thermocouples give total heat zone fl exibility.• Match heater emissivity to the product absorption for
higher effi ciency and lower running costs. • Chose fl at or curved emitter faces to create either an even
or focused heat pattern.• Typical life expectancy is greater than 10,000 hours.
