ANTENNA HEATING CABLES

Type ELKM-AG-L to 260 °C

In series resistance cables, the part that carries energy and the part that generates heat are the same, consisting of a chromium-nickel wire. These cables can be produced with different resistance values and are commonly used for heat tracing in long pipelines. The resistance of these cables is directly proportional to their length.

To prevent excessive increases in current passing through them, there is a minimum length limitation for their use. The appropriate resistance must be selected based on the required length and power. Depending on the required power, temperature values, and environmental conditions, the insulation material used may vary—from PVC to PTFE and even glass fiber for dry locations.

These cables can be used at temperatures of up to 260°C and 450°C, while metal-sheathed, mineral-insulated versions can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C.

The extremely compact BARTEC bimetallic thermostat integrated in a cable is mostly used in hazardous (potentially explosive) areas for applications in which devices are to be protected against frost. This thermostat can be used to regulate internal temperatures of switch and control cabinets, transmitter protection boxes, measuring equipment etc.. It can also be used to monitor (indicate) excessively high or low temperatures or also as an alarm contact. The application assures the greatest possible reliability because of the conformance to the required minimum temperatures

Application Areas:

• Freeze protection of pipelines and tanks
• Control of heating cables
• Cold room heating
• Floor heating
• Industrial process heating
• HVAC systems
• Extruder Heating
• Hot press applications.

STRUCTURE

The thermostat is built into a casting element and can be mounted either over the borehole in the mounting sheet or suspended freely in the air.

FUNCTION

The ambient temperature is measured through the surface of the thermostat. The integrated, explosion-proof bimetallic thermostat switches the connected heating in accordance with this ambient temperature.

Satellite Antenna De-icing Systems

The Viking SATCOM De-icing system consists of a factory pre-wired control unit, heater pads for reflector coverage, and a feedhorn heater. All systems are engineered to be easily assembled, installed and operated.

The control unit has three modes of operation: Automatic, Manual Off and Manual On. The Automatic mode allows the control to monitor the ambient temperature and sense the presence of moisture. An ambient temperature of less than 40 degrees F and the presence of moisture activate a heater contactor. The heater contactor is rated up to 50 amps. The heaters will remain on for a factory preset time of one hour longer than conditions warrant. The Manual Off mode turns the heaters off, regardless of the weather conditions. The Manual On mode turns the heaters on, regardless of the weather conditions. Control units are factory preset to operate on 120 to 240 volts, single or three phase power. All cabling to attach the heater pads is factory pre-wired. The larger systems have a control unit with remote moisture sensor.

The heater pads consist of heater wire sandwiched between layers of aluminum foil. Heater pads allow for a faster install without the need for templates. The aluminum foil is coated with an aggressive acrylic adhesive and a peel and stick liner. Watt density of the heater pads, depending on the reflector, is between 40 and 55 watts per square foot. The aggressive acrylic adhesive adheres to a variety of substrates and will not release when pad temperature increases. Heater pads have water resistant connectors that plug into the cables from the control unit.

The feedhorn heaters consist of heater wire attached to a strap and covered with heatshrink. They are attached to a rib on the feedhorn. Installation of the de-ice system consists of applying the heater pads to the backside of the reflector, mounting the control unit / moisture sensor, routing power to the control unit, attaching the feedhorn heater, and connecting the heater pads to the control cables. The De-icing systems can be custom made for a variety of antennas and applications.
