I. Industrial Sector: Key Solutions for Freeze Protection and Process Temperature Maintenance
1. Petrochemical Industry
Electric heating systems are crucial for freezing oil and gas pipelines, storage tanks, and valves. For example, pipelines located within the Arctic Circle must maintain a temperat...
Snow and ice accumulation on outdoor stairways in winter pose a significant safety hazard. Traditional snow removal, salting, or de-icing methods are not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also damage the staircase materials and the environment. Heated cable snow removal systems offer a moder...
Generally speaking, if properly designed, selected, and installed, gutter heating cables are an effective, reliable, and high-performance solution for cold climates. However, simply "turning on the power to melt snow" is not enough; their effectiveness is the result of comprehensive system e...
Preparing to Install Heating Cables
Before installing the heating cables, carefully follow these preparatory steps. They will ensure the long-term stability and efficiency of your underfloor heating system. Carefully review each step.

1. Heating Cable Power Range
Heating cable power is typically expressed in watts per meter (W/m). Common specifications are as follows:
Low-power cable: 10-20 W/m
Applications: Pipe insulation, soil frost protection (e.g., eaves snow melting), and low-temperature supplemental floor heating.
Features...
1. Snow melting principle of heating cable
Electro thermal conversion
The alloy resistance wire inside the cable generates heat after being energized (the surface temperature is generally 40-50℃), and melts the snow through heat conduction, thereby preventing the formation of ice dams.
