SELF REGULATING TRACE HEATING
Trace Heating Cable | Eltherm ELSR-M-AF/BF
Eltherm ELSR-M-AF/BF is a versatile self-regulating trace heating cables provide process temperature maintenance and frost protection to pipework, instrument lines, tanks and drums up to 65° Celsius.
The ELSR-M-AF/BF has a food safe outer jacket and is approved for use in potable water allowing it to be used for frost protection to potable water lines and for use within the food processing industry and can even be installed inside a pipeline.
The self-regulating trace heating 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-M-AF/BF is suitable for use in various industrial applications where maintaining consistent temperatures is critical for process integrity and safety including:
- Freeze prevention
- Pipelines
- Heated hoses
Our Team of Trained Sales Engineers are available to advise and support your trace heating 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.
