Self Regulating HeaT tRACING Cables

Eltherm ELSR-FHP is a versatile self-regulating heat tracing cable that provides process temperature maintenance and frost protection to pipework, instrument lines, tanks and drums up to 110° Celsius – with IECEx and ATEX Certification Eltherm ELSR-N heat tracing cables are suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.

The self-regulating technology allows the heating cable to increase or decrease its heat output based on the ambient temperature, providing energy-efficient operation and preventing overheating. ELSR-FHP is suitable for use in various industrial applications where maintaining consistent temperatures is critical for process integrity and safety including:

  • Freeze prevention
  • Silos, vessels, tanks
  • Cryogenic Storage Tanks

Our Team of Trained Sales Engineers are available to advise and support your ATEX heat tracing enquiries – this includes design and supply of complex multi-kilometre, major-project systems to custom heat trace cable kits for the protection of winterisation against plant and factory facilities.

Eltherm ELSR-FHP Heat Tracing Cables

Eltherm ELSR-FHP heating cables provide process temperature maintenance and frost protection to pipework, instrument lines, tanks and drums up to 110° Celsius – with IECEx and ATEX Certification Eltherm ELSR-N trace heating cables are suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. Typical applications include heating process pipework, instrument lines and storage tanks to maintain viscosity or prevent frost damage as an integral work-task of plant Winterisation.

Eltherm ELSR-FHP cables utilise cold-applied installation components to complete the trace heating system – no requirement for “hot-working” permit applications in potentially explosive atmospheres, including Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
