Tank Heating
Raychem tank heaters provide a superior heating solution for elevating and maintaining the temperature industrial storage tank contents.
Mineral Insulated Heating Cables
Pyrotenax™ MI Cable-Alloy 825
Alloy 825 Mineral Insulated Heating Cables provide solutions for industrial freeze protection and process-temperature maintenance applications in hazardous and non-hazardous locations.
MI is also used where high power output, high exposure temperatures, or extreme resistance to environmental corrosives are needed. MI heating cables can provide up to 82 watts per foot (269 watts per meter) of power output with area classification and design approvals. MI heating cables are constructed and approved for use in non-hazardous and hazardous (classified) areas. The maximum application temperature for heating units is 1022°F (550°C) and the maximum exposure temperature for the heating cable is 1238°F (670°C). Higher temperatures are available by special order.
Power-Limiting Heating Cables
Raychem® VPL
Power-Limiting Cables are used for applications requiring high power output or exceed the temperature ranges of self-regulating cables. VPL can be used for freeze protection and process-temperature maintenance requiring high power output and/or high temperature exposure.
VPL can provide process-temperature maintenance up to 455°F (235°C) and can withstand routine steam purges and temperature excursions to 500°F (260°C) with power off. VPL cables are approved for use in non-hazardous and hazardous locations.
Self-Regulating Heating Cables
BTV
The BTV family of Raychem self-regulating heating cables provides the solution to freeze-protection and process-temperature maintenance applications. BTV heating cables maintain process temperatures up to 150°F (65°C) and can withstand intermittent exposure to temperatures up to 185°F (85°C).
The heating cables are configured for use in non-hazardous and hazardous (classified) locations, including areas where corrosives may be present.QTVR
The QTVR family of Raychem self-regulating heating cables is designed for pipe heat tracing in industrial applications. QTVR heating cables can provide process-temperature maintenance up to 225°F (110°C) and can also be used for freeze protection in systems having high heat loss. The heating cables are configured for use in non-hazardous and hazardous (classified) locations, including areas where corrosives may be present.
XTV
The XTV family of Raychem self-regulating heating cables provides solutions for industrial freeze protection and process-temperature maintenance applications requiring high power output. XTV heating cables can withstand temperatures up to 420°F (215°C) and provide process temperature maintenance to 250°F (121°C).
The heating cables are configured for use in non-hazardous and hazardous (classified) locations, including areas where corrosives may be present.
Tank Heating Pads
Raychem® RHS
RHS tank heating pads are designed for applications ranging from freeze protection to process-temperature maintenance of tanks. Raychem offers RHS tank heating pads with two power densities, making them ideal for metal tanks (lined and unlined) and plastic tanks. Factory Mutual (FM) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) have approved RHS tank heating pads for use in both non-hazardous and hazardous locations. RHS-L may be used on tank walls capable of up to 185°F (85°C), and RHS-H may be used on tanks with walls capable of 280°F (138°C). RHS is offered with two power densities (-L and -H).
