Industrial Electrical Tracing
Temperature maintenance and controlled reheating
Electrical heat tracing is a high-performance solution for maintaining or heating industrial installations. It limits heat loss, protects installations against freezing, condensation or crystallization, and ensures the smooth operation of sensitive equipment.
In addition to our thermal insulation solutions, ELIT designs, supplies and installs electrical tracing systems tailored to the requirements of each site.
Why choose electrical tracing?
Electrical tracing is used for :
- Maintain a defined temperature on pipes, tanks, valves or vats to avoid any change in condition (crystallization, condensation, etc.).
- Prevent frost by guaranteeing a minimum temperature (often set at 5°C)
- Reheat a product or piece of equipment by raising its temperature to a higher level within a controlled timeframe.
Our electrical tracing technologies
Heating cable types :
- Self-regulating cables: adapt power output to ambient temperature
- Power-limiting cables: limit the risk of overheating
- Constant wattage cables - parallel or series: for variable lengths at uniform temperatures
Additional equipment :
- IP65 junction boxes (ordinary or ATEX zones)
- Control thermostats (TOR or PID)
- Termination kits and connections,
Industrial applications
Our systems can be integrated into a wide range of industrial environments:
- Chemical and petrochemical industry: temperature maintenance of sensitive fluids
- Food processing: heating or thermal maintenance of pipes and tanks
- Surface treatment: temperature control on baths or pipes
- Pharmaceutical industry: thermal control for sensitive products
- Storage and transport: thermal protection of valves, pumps, hoppers, conveyors
- ATEX zones: systems compatible with potentially explosive atmospheres
The benefits of our solutions
- Reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency
- Adaptable to all types of industrial equipment
