SERIES RESISTIVE HEATING CABLES The first heating cable that was produced was of a series resistive type. Today there are several types of series resistive heat‐ ing cables available. These are manufactured in qualities from PVC to mineral insulated high‐temperature cable with rustless sheath. The biggest advantage with these is the possibility to obtain long element lengths, from only one point of connection. In contrary to parallel resistive and self‐limiting heating cables which maximum length are limited by the voltage drop in the conductors, this is used as a heat emitting part in a series resistive cable. The heating conductor is manufactured of an alloy that gives required resistance per meter. By combining a required length with the available cable resistance's and supply voltages can advantages be obtained such as varying outputs, lengths from a couple of meter to lengths on 800‐1000m from one point of supply. It is a disadvantage that the cable normally must be finished on the factory, which means you have to know the pipe lengths in advance to be able to pre order required lengths. (At long high‐temperature lengths where the heating conductor contains copper (CC‐cables) shall consideration be taken to the temperature coefficient of the heating conductor which influence the output of the length negatively). For installations within the EX‐surface a number of supplementary safety devices is required, and exemption from the touched authorities. Index Series resistive cables

The sheath temperature is calculated as follows:

Tm = Q __ +Tp Ua Tm = Sheath temperature in oC Tp = Process temperature in oC Q

= Load in W/m

Ua = Heat transfer coeff. Example: Velox TCPR mounted without dissipation of heat at an ambient temperature of 25oC, loaded with 20 W/m will have a sheath temperature of 65oC.

Installation in sand and concrete Sand:

max load 20 W/m cable.

Concrete:

SELF‐LIMITING HEATING CABLES Self‐limiting cables can be bought in running metre for make‐up on the site. The cable has a varying output depending on the ambient temperature, which guard against overheating even if the cable crosses itself. This also allows installation in Ex‐ surfaces (all Värmekabeltekniks self‐limiting cable types are Ex‐rated). The self‐limiting cable have a unique capacity in proportion to the sheath temperature of the cable, reduce the emitted out‐ put. These cables are often mentioned as self‐regulated cables but this is a wrong denomination, as a required temperature not can be guaranteed without temperature control. On the other hand, the cables make it possible to give an even temperature on a pipe even if the ambient temperature varies along piping. Värmekabeltekniks self‐limiting cables are approved within Ex‐surfaces when the cables have a stated T‐rate, i.e. a maximum temperature that the cable reach. The T‐rates varies for different output/m. The self‐limiting cables are built up round a semi‐conductive bed embedded in the outer edges. The bed between the con‐ ductors has a capacity to lead current, the conducting capacity is in proportion to the temperature. At rising temperature the conducting capacity decreases, overheating is prevented. At sinking temperature, the current increases and the increasing heat requirement is satisfied. -

RSL Frost protection cables, have a primary insulation and an outer sheath of thermo‐plastic rubber (CR) or teflon (CT).

‐ RSM cables for keeping warm and heating up to 120°C, has an insulation and outer sheath of Teflon. ‐ RSH cables for keeping warm and heating up to 190°C, has an insulation and outer sheath of teflon. The emitted outputs of the self‐limiting cables are depending on the ambient temperature and the method of installation, a good dissipation of heat increase the emitted output. (Aluminium tape that covers all the length of the cable and is attached against the pipe, cool down the side of the cable, which borders against the insulation and thereby, emitted output with 30‐ 50%). All self‐limiting cables have a starting current which is higher than the operating current. This must be taken into consid‐ eration when designing circuit‐/connection lengths, (see data sheet).

Velox TTS super‐ Type of cable: Self‐limiting •

Self‐regulating

•

7 power output ranges

•

Cut to length

Construction 1.25mm² Buswires

Range of application: Velox Super is a construction and industrial grade self‐ regulating heating tape that may be used for frost pro‐ tection, or temperature maintenance of pipework and vessels.

Semi‐conductive material with self‐ limiting characteris‐ tics (the resistance increases with ris‐ ing temperature)

Function: Self‐regulating heating cables consist of two parallel buswires, embedded semi‐conductive self‐regulating matrix. This means that the heating cable automatically responds to changes in ambient conditions. With increase in temperature, the synthetic material expands by molecular force, and the connections be‐ tween the carbon particles diminish, reducing the load. Conversely, as the temperature decreases, so the load increases as the connections between the carbon parti‐ cles increases accordingly. Thus, the heating power varies according to the tem‐ perature surface of the surface the heating cable is applied to.

Insulation

Earth braiding tinned copper

Self‐regulating heating cables will not overheat or burn‐ out – even when overlapped.

PARALLEL RESISTIVE HEATING CABLES Parallel resistive cables can be bought as running metre for making‐up on the site. This admits a good flexibility both at new production and repairs. The cable has a constant output per metre irrespective of length and temperature and can be cut on regular distances, most often between 0.5 to 1.2 metres dependent on module lengths from different suppliers. The heating element in a parallel resistive cable consists of a resistance wire which is coiled round the insulated front con‐ ductors, at the so called contact points (these have been marked as waist on the outer side of the cable) have the resistance wire contact against one of the conductors alternating for each contact point. The insulation material and the sheath consist normally of teflon material. There is more detailed information in the cable data sheets. The heating cable is designed with earth braid that also works as an armouring and corrosion protected sheath of teflon where this is not possible by high temperatures. Parallel resistive heating cables gives a solid output per meter independent of the ambient temperature. They have no start‐ ing current and can therefore be connected in relatively long lengths, (see cable data). Index

The sheath temperature (Tm) of the cable will vary de‐ pending on the process (ambient) temperature (Tp), load (Q) and way of installation.

Sheath temperature: Diagram 1 Cable installed free in air or against heat conducting material (Ua = 0.6)

The sheath temperature is calculated as follows: Q Tm = _____ +Tp Ua Tp = Process temperature in oC Q

Ua = Heat transfer coeff. Example: Velox EST mounted without dissipation of heat at an ambient temperature of 25oC, output 30 W/m, will have a sheath temperature of 75oC.

Dissipation of heat The heat transfer coefficient (Ua) can be improved considerably (3 to 10 times) by arranging some dissipation of heat, for instance by providing the cable with aluminium tape or heat conductive concrete at the installation. This will enable you to use the heating cable also where high process tem‐ peratures are involved. For this kind of installation please consult VärmeKabelTeknik for assistance with the design and installation.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION/REFERENCE DATA

Corrosion guide for electric immersion heaters

The following corrosion guide recommendations must not be interpreted as a positive recommendation of your choice of sheath material for electrical immersion heaters. Use this information as a guide in your investi‐ gation of your heating process, and arrive at the proper choice based upon your intimate knowledge of the con‐ ditions which exist at the job site. Be very selective in your consideration of heater sheath material. Remember that recommended materials of construction for your tank may not survive as sheathing for the immersion heater. The sheath of an immersion heater function as a heat transfer surface, and thus is operating at temperatures above the control tempera‐ ture of the process. Such temperatures and fluid move‐ ment impose severe corrosion conditions on the metal surface. Success of your choise of sheath material will depend upon many factors which are within your power to con‐ trol: 1) Control the chemistry of solution.. a. Avoid carry‐over from other processes. b. Control dpletion of bath chemistry. c. Filter or remove accumulating sludge. Sludge im‐ pedes flow of heat from heaters and accelerates cor‐ rosion. 2) Control process temperature. a. Temperature accelerates all corrosion processes. Excess temperatures mean shorter heater life. 3) Avoid contacts between dissimlar metals which could initiate galvanic type corrosion. 4) For safety to personnel against electrical shock, metal sheath heaters must be grounded to the tank and, in turn, to earth. Consider the use of a ground fault circuit interrupter for optimum safety. 5) For processes involving electroplating, immersion heaters must be kept out of the space between anode and cathode where the effects of plating cur‐ rent may damage the heater surface. 6) The immersion heaters should be examined period‐ ically for corrosion so that corrective action can be taken to maintain continuity of operation.

Notes and legends to corrosion guide 1.

This solution involves a mixture of various chemical compounds whose identity and proportions are un‐ known or subject to change without our knowledge. Check supplier to confirm choice of sheath material plus alternate sheath materials that may be used.

Caution – Flammable material.

Chemical composition varies widely. Check supplier for specific recommendations.

Direct immersion heaters not practical. Use clamp‐ on heaters on outside surface of cast iron pot.

Element surface loading should not exceed 20 W/sq.inch.

For concentrations greater than 15%, element sur‐ face loading should not exceed 20W/sq.inch.

See suggested watt density chart.

Remove crusts at liquid level.

Clean often.

10. Do not exceed 12wpsi. 11. Passivate stainless steel, Inconel and Incoloy Because so many factors are beyond our control, the VärmeKabelTeknik company cannot be responsible for any electric immersion failure that can be attributed to corrosion. This is in lieu of any warranties, written or verbal, relative to heater performance in a corrosive environment.
