Freeze Prevention On Portable, Tap & Waste Water

Heat Tracing Cables By Eltherm

Frost Protection For Industrial & Hazardous Areas

In the final of this blog series by Eltherm they will discuss the best electrical trace heating system that will ensure temperature maintenance and freeze prevention on and inside potable water, water and rainwater pipes.

Mobile potable and domestic water supply as well as the reliable drainage of rain and waste water at low temperatures is susceptible to freeze damage. Frozen and burst pipes cause serious problems and additional costs, especially at building sites.

Freeze protection for mobile water supply is essential, both internal heating of potable and domestic water pipes and on-pipe installation, e.g. for waste water applications.

Eltherm offer suitable heating cables for various freeze protection applications which are easy to install.

Being experts in freeze protection of different applications for 25 years, they have developed useful systems to fight frost damage professionally, like our food-safe and potable water approved self-regulating heating cable ELSR-M-AF/BF for potable water applications or our reliable heating cable ELSR-N for domestic and waste water applications.

Both can be installed inside a pipe. They keep the pipes ice-free without insulation, down to -30 °C. These heating cables are highly flexible and perfect for short heating circuits, whereby ELSR-M-AF allows the smallest dimension.

Eltherm also offers the appropriate system for the external heating of potable water, wastewater and rainwater pipes – including control and monitoring and suitable accessories.

A higher level of safety and considerable cost savings in the long term and are the key benefits of our systems.
