Freeze protection comes from electrical heat trace systems for industrial and construction applications. In buildings, water pipes and sprinkler systems are protected from freeze damage with these systems.

Heat Trace Cable

The heating of metal or plastic pipes can prevent commercial losses. Our Chromalox pipe heat trace replaces lost heat in a range of environments. Different applications demand varying amounts of heat to compensate for losses and maintain desired pipe or vessel temperature. The electrical tracing of heat can be sophisticated or less complex. It can work in standard or hazardous conditions.

We are Chromalox distributors and carry Chromalox heat trace as well as other top brands, we are ready to help in the development of a complete pipe system that includes heating cable, terminations, controls and other accessories. Special cable jackets can safeguard against environmental, moisture, and even chemicals.

Pipe Heat Trace for Freeze Prevention

Ensure that fluid continues to flow properly with pipe tracing thermal products. Industrial-grade reliability and proven technology come together with interior and exterior heating.

We have the targeted equipment for water line freeze prevention in a variety of conditions, including extreme cold. A quality electrical pipe tracing system will control the temperature of pipes, however, it can also serve as an industrial heater for water tanks, refrigeration systems, and other equipment.

Dependable Cables

Dependable cables such as Chromalox heat trace offer proven solutions to heating challenges with excellent performance in freeze prevention for buildings, valves, pipes and tanks. This type of cable is also ideal for viscosity control in the industrial environment. It can de-ice a gutter or roof.

Heat trace cable may simply be called heating cable. Hi-Watt provides industrial heat trace cables in self-limiting or constant wattage types. Convenient, self-regulating heating cable makes automatic adjustments to output.

Less heat is generated as the surface or ambient temperature rises, and vice versa. In comparison, constant wattage cable maintains an exact temperature dependably.

Air Heater for Industrial Processing

We have the most technologically advanced brands of electric duct heaters available for specialized processes, as well as heaters for general forced air and convection heating.

These are heaters engineered to stringent quality standards. Heating elements are built with industrial-grade resistance wire and terminal materials for superior performance. Take a look at our finned strip heaters. Their steel fin construction and sheath designs lead to fast heat transfers and longer element life.

Heating Cable in Heat Tracing Systems

Built for long and short runs, heating cable supports the successful heat tracing of pipes, tanks and other systems.

Our cable manufacturers are committed to providing reliable freeze protection and the safeguarding of fluid movement. Cable is available that is specially built for hazardous, construction or industrial environments.

These heating cable products can provide corrosion, chemical and oxidation resistance when required. Mineral insulated heating cable is often selected for its high temperature, high wattage capabilities. From cable to strip heaters, Hi-Watt has the best thermal solutions.
