Electric heating and heat tracing
We offer electric heating systems for freeze protection and process temperature maintenance on pipes and equipment. The package connects heating elements, electrical supplies, temperature control and operating-status monitoring.
Operating context
The whole application matters.
Heating requirements follow the medium properties, heat loss and process operating modes. Temperature maintenance, start-up heating and protection during shutdown are treated separately. The design accounts for insulation, valves, supports and maintenance access; pipe length alone does not define a suitable system.
Scope of the solution
- Heating cables for pipes, valves, instrument lines and process equipment.
- Immersion and circulation electric heaters selected for the medium and operating brief.
- Temperature sensors, controllers, supply circuits and fault indication.
- Equipment selection for outdoor, corrosive or potentially explosive environments.
Engineering priorities
From operating need to design.
01Heat balance
Construction and duty are selected for the required temperature, ambient conditions, materials and equipment dimensions. Insulation and points with higher heat losses are included. Temperature-sensitive media also require consideration of permitted surface temperatures and the consequences of local overheating.
02Controls and protection
Heating circuits are integrated with temperature measurement and appropriate control. The scope can include a control panel, fault reporting, interlocks preventing operation without process fluid and independent temperature limitation. Requirements are established for the heater construction and its particular process duty.
03Installation interfaces
We coordinate element attachment, connections and removable insulation sections. For upgrades, existing circuit condition is checked and the work is divided into manageable sections. Circuit identification is aligned with the drawings and the installed routes.

Before we start
Questions that shape the project.
Can existing thermal insulation be retained?+
Its condition, thickness and construction need to be checked. Damaged or wet insulation changes heat loss and may affect the required heating duty.
