Heating Solutions

Firstly pressure hoses serve to heat media, maintain a constant temperature and transport media such as the following without heat loss: oil, grease, wax, resin, tar, paint, water, glue, plastic, casting compound, food and many more. Eltherm’s heated hose is mounted on movable system and machine parts in most cases and the temperature ranges up to 250 °C standard.

Moreover the medium is only free flowing at a specific temperature or it only reaches its specific processing properties in a certain temperature range. In addition, flexible means of transport are required in the processing of these media due to moving plant components, which is why its ideal.

Why are Heated hoses Essential ?

Heated hoses are the ideal solution for the reliable transfer and transportation of liquids or gases without any loss of heat in both safe and hazardous areas. The maintain temperature required, power, application and outer protection material will determine the choice of hose. Typical applications include gas analysis, hot melt machines, bitumen transfer lines, heavy oil transfer and wax processing equipment.

Gas substances are typically channelled between the measurement point and the analysis instrument in the analysis technique such as refineries, flue gas, mechanical engineering, chemical industry and the motor industry. For many applications the gas must have freeze protection, be protected against condensation or guarantee a constant temperature of up to 250°C.

A heated hose can be used to heat up, to prevent heat loss and to transport media such as grease, wax, oils, water, glue, foodstuffs etc – it is vital to keep these products in a liquid form.

Outcome of using Heated hoses:

Furthermore, Optimum heating cable output on the carrier hose is achieved by using Eltherm standard hoses which are configured to include bifilar heating cables and special spacers.These are also distributed by Thorne and Derrick.

Secondly by creating spatial density in the hose that carries the heating cable ensures perfectly homogeneous heat distribution throughout the hose whilst achieving optimum element loading. The additional glass-fibre spacer serves to prevent hot spots in moving applications with greater bending strain, as contact between the heating cables is avoided.

Eltherm’s controlled analytic heated hoses serve to transport gaseous media from the point of withdrawal to the analytic measuring device. In most cases they are fix mounted in plants or in the form of portable systems.

One of their primary functions is in officially mandated emission monitoring in power stations or waste incineration plants. Additionally the range of Eltherm analytic hoses are also increasingly used in process analytics by various industries including petrochemical, oil and gas.
