8. TEMPERATURE “PILING” IN
VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS
piping run, it is possible to have a 1.5 to 3.0 degree F. rise per vertical
and circuit breakup should be used to overcome this temperature
control problem.
9. STATIC vs. FLOWING FLUID CONDITIONS
Most design concerns should center around static situations. For
10. TERMINATION AND SEALING OF
CABLE CONNECTIONS
Cable ends, splices, etc. must be properly sealed to prevent
through insulation lagging, are common moisture sources. Moisture
is a primary source of electrical arcing/failure in heating cable. Easy
Heat connection kits contain appropriate components and instruc-
tions to properly seal all connections. Use only Easy Heat connection
kits and follow instructions carefully.
11. FOAMED/POURED INSULATION
When heating cables are to be insulated with foamed, mudded
or poured insulation, the cable must be covered by foil. This is to
prevent the cable from being thermally isolated from the pipe. If
12. INSULATION QUALITY
It is recommended that all heat traced pipes have a minimum
traced pipes will not provide reliable performance. Water leaks
(around valves, hangers and lagging lap joints) will soak insulation.
The heating cable cannot maintain temperatures with wet insula-
tions, and once the insulation becomes wet, the heating cable will
In addition, insulation quality must be maintained. Crushed or wet
insulation will increase heat loss by 20 to 50 times the design rate.
13. ANNUAL SYSTEM CHECK-OUT
Check all freeze protection heating cable systems before each
freeze season. Process maintenance systems should be checked
annually. A system check should verify that all systems are function-
temperature control function, and whatever else is appropriate to
your situation.
