Thermotrace Constant Watt Tracers (Cut-to-length)

Thermotrace CTL Electrical Heat Tracers are cut-to-length parallel heat tracers for maintaining product temperature inside Vessels, Tanks, Pipeline or Equipments to keep viscous fluids in flow state avoiding choking of pipelines.

Thermotrace CTL – PT (Fluoropolymer Insulated), CTL – SR (Silicon Rubber Insulated) and CTL – ZH (Polyolefin Insulated) is used in the process industry – Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Power, Chemicals & Fertilizers, Metallurgical, Cement, Pharma, Food and Edible oil industries.

Construction

Thermotrace CTL is a constant wattage, parallel circuit heat tracer comprising twin parallel bus wires of multistrand copper. These are insulated with Fluoropolymer or Silicon Rubber or LSZH (Polyolefin) as per intended application . Heating Element is wound spirally around the insulated bus bar and connected alternatively to the bus wires at specified intervals, forming parallel circuits. The tracer has an insulation sheath followed by metallic braiding for mechanical protection and earth continuity. An outer jacket is mandatory for corrosive / Hazardous atmospheres.

Features
Compliance	Standards : CTL – PT / SR/ ZH to EN 62395-1 and CTL – PT to EN 60079-0, EN 60079-30-1 & EN 60079-31.
Approvals	CTL-PT: Tested by Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research (CSIR-CIMFR), Dhanbad And certified by Petroleum & Safety Organization (PESO) / Nagpur, for Zone II , TI (ATEX) for Zone I / Division II & EAC for use in hazardous area applications. CTL – PT / SR/ ZH : CE and EAC
Rugged construction	Outer metallic braid in CTL – PT & CTL – SR makes it robust and suited to hostile conditions.
Chemical Resistant	Fluoropolymer insulated Thermotrace CTL is inert to all chemicals, and it is waterproof and weatherproof.
Long Life	PTFE has excellent electrical properties, thermal stability, fire resistance and is virtually non – ageing and can withstand the high temperature continuously.
Efficient Heat Transfer	Flexible and flat configuration of the Thermotrace CTL enables an intimate contact with the surface to be heated, ensuring efficient heat transfer.
Cut to Length	Thermotrace CTL is supplied in continuous long lengths, which can be cut to desired lengths.
Custom built	We also offer custom designs of a product to suit individual requirements. We can design for various dimensions and voltages.

Range

Depending on the application and site conditions (viz. temperature, weather conditions, chemical environment), we can offer options of various insulating materials for Thermotrace CTL to match your individual requirements.
