Essential Trace Heating for Industrial
Freeze Protection
Industrial facilities such as factories, power plants, data centers, water treatment plants, and oil & gas operations rely on trace heating to keep systems running smoothly.
Drexan’s PipeGuard Self-Regulating cables deliver industrial freeze protection with the most accurate power output and longest life expectancy in the market ensuring your facility does not face flooding or structural damage due to pipe bursts.
Preventing pipes from freezing is critical in industrial settings to ensure smooth operations.
There are also many other areas in industrial facilities that benefit from heat tracing, such as:
- Water supply, fire protection, and process piping are vulnerable to freezing in unheated or exposed areas.
- Liquids stored in industrial tanks and vessels can become sluggish or solidify, affecting process efficiency.
- Sensitive gauges, meters and valves can
malfunction if ice forms inside them. - Walkways and industrial surfaces, staircases, and loading docks can become slippery and dangerous.
Our cables provide:
- Unmatched durability in hazardous and non-hazardous environments
- Corrosion-resistant for exposure to harsh chemicals
- Certification for CSA (CUS) for North America.
- Suitability for Metal & non-metal pipes, tanks, and vessels
- Backed by the industry’s best warranty.
Hazardous locations are defined by the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) section 18 and the National Electrical Code (NEC) as; those areas in which the potential for fire or explosion exists due to the presence of flammable gases or vapors and combustible dusts.
For the most current information and complete details pertaining to hazardous locations refer to the Canadian and National Electrical Codes.
