Application . . .

Freeze Protection or Process Temperature Maintenance

BSX self-regulating heating cables are designed to provide freeze protection or process temperature maintenance to metallic and nonmetallic piping, tanks and equipment. The heat output of BSX cable varies in response to the surrounding conditions along the entire length of a circuit. Whenever the heat loss of the insulated pipe, tank or equipment increases (as ambient temperature drops), the heat output of the cable increases. Conversely, when the heat loss decreases (as the ambient temperature rises or product flows), the cable reacts by reducing its heat output. This self-regulating feature allows BSX to be overlapped without temperature upset damage to the cable.

BSX cables are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassified) areas and are certified to the ATEX directive for use in Category 2 and 3 (Zone 1 and 2) classified areas.

Self-Regulating Heating Cable

Product Specifications

Freeze Protection or Process Temperature Maintenance

RSX 15-2 self-regulating heating cable is designed for applications where the Watt density requirements preclude the use of the standard range of winterization cables. The cable is ideally suited for freeze protection or process temperature maintenance applications that have higher heat losses but are not exposed to high temperatures (such as steam cleaning).

The ends of RSX 15-2 must be properly terminated prior to connecting the cable to power. Refer to the “Self-Regulating Cables Systems Accessories” product specification sheet (Form TEP0010U).

RSX 15-2 is approved for use in ordinary (nonclassified) areas and Zone 1 and 2 classified areas.

HPT

TM

Power-Limiting Heating Cable

Product Specifications

High performance HPT power-limiting heating cables are designed specifically for process temperature maintenance or freeze protection where high maintain temperatures or high temperature exposure is required. HPT withstands the temperature exposures associated with steam purging. A coiled resistor alloy heating element (patent pending) provides the power-limiting feature of HPT. This PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) characteristic decreases the cable’s power output as the heat-traced product temperature increases and allows the cable to be over-lapped during installation. The composite construction of the heating element and fibre substrate, plus an additional fibre cushion layer, provides an exceptionally durable high performance heating cable.

HPT cables are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassified) areas and Zone 1 and 2 classified areas.

Ratings . . .

Power-off ... 260°C Minimum installation temperature ... -51°C Minimum bend radius ... 32 mm Basic Accessories2_{. . .}

Power Connection: All HPT cables require a TBX-4L power

End-of-Circuit Termination: HPT cables with exposure

temperatures below 200°C require the use of the ET-8 end cap and TT-6 fluoropolymer tape strip for terminating at the end of the circuit.

HPT cables with exposure temperatures between 200°C and 260°C require the HPEK-OJ end cap for terminating at the end of the circuit.

Notes . . .

1. Higher maintenance temperatures and operating voltages may be possible; contact Thermon for design assistance.

TESH

TM

Series Constant Watt Heating Cable

Product Specifications

Long Line Temperature Maintenance or Freeze Protection

TESH series resistance constant Watt heating cables are used where circuit lengths exceed the limitations of parallel resistance heating cables. TESH withstands the temperature exposures associated with steam purging.

The series circuitry of TESH provides consistent Watt-per-metre power output along the entire length of the cable with no voltage drop. A glassceramic tape layer adds additional protection to the heating cable and a fluoropolymer overjacket provides chemical resistance while maintaining maximum flexibility. The construction of the cable meets the 7 Joule impact test per EN50019.

TESH cables are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassi-fied) areas and Catagories 2 and 3 ATEX classified areas.

(using the principles of stabilized design or limiters)2

Stabilised Design . . .

The Watt density limitation for TESH cables is directly related to the desired maintain temperature. Thermon is able to ensure the T-rating based on a stabilised design that enables series constant Watt heating cables to operate in hazardous areas without limiting thermostats. TESH cable output and T-rating are dependent upon supply voltage, cable resistance, temperature conditions as well as addi-tional variables. Contact Thermon for design assistance.

Power Connection: TESH cables typically require

nonheat-ing terminations at each end of the circuit before connect-ing to power. Contact Thermon for complete information.

Notes . . .

1. T-rating per internationally recognised testing agency guidelines.

2. Thermon heating cables are approved for the listed T-ratings using the stabilised design method. This enables the cable to operate in hazardous areas without limiting thermostats. The T-rating may be determined using CompuTrace®_Electric

Heat Tracing Design Software or contact Thermon for design assistance.
