A temperature-dependant resistive element between two parallel copper conductors regulates and limits the heat output of the heating tape according to the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature rises, the power output of the heating tape is reduced. This self-limiting property prevents overheating even when the tapes are crossed. A temperature limiter is not necessary (also not in hazardous areas). Thanks to the parallel design the heating tape can be cut and installed to any required length. The self-limiting heating tape is available with different power outputs and protective jackets. The protective outer jacket of either fluoropolymer or polyolefin protects the copper braiding from corrosion and chemical impact. Two jackets under the protective braiding provide electrical insulation. The inner one of the two jackets is thermally fused to the heating element (bonded jacket). The heating system must be designed to ensure that the maximum operating temperature of 65 °C will notbe exceeded when it is energized. When it is switched off, the heating tape can be exposed to a temperature of 85 °C, not more than 1,000 hours cumulated.
Self limiting parallel heating tape MSB medium temperature — a temperature-dependent resistive element between two parallel copper conductors regulates and limits the heat output of the heating tape. This output regulation is carried out automatically along the entire length of the heating tape according to the prevailing ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature rises, the power output of the tape is reduced. Thanks to the parallel design, the heating tape can be cut to any required length. This feature considerably simplifies project planning and installation. The heating tape is cut and terminated directly on the construction site according to the circumstances. If the tape is damaged, it is not necessary to replace the whole tape. BARTEC MSB is available with different power outputs. The heating system must be designed to ensure that the maximum operating temperature of +110 °C will not be exceeded when it is energized. When it is switched off, the heating tape can be exposed to a temperature of 130 °C, not more than 1,000 hours cumulated.

Around two parallel positioned copper wires with a cross-section of 1 mm² an irradiated electrically conducting polymer is extruded. This electrically conducting matrix responds to changes of the ambient temperature with an increase or decrease of the heating output. A flame-retardant, UV-resistant jacket protects the braiding against humidity and offers additional protection against mechanical stress. The heating system must be designed to ensure that the maximum operating temperature of 65 °C will not be exceeded when it is energized. When it is switched off, the heating tape can be exposed to a temperature of 85 °C, not more than 1,000 hours cumulated.
Areas of application
The PSBL heating tape is suitable for electric trace heating for frost protection of pipelines and vessels. While the polyolefin protective jacket is used where there are aqueous, inorganic chemicals, the fluoropolymer protective jacket is suitable for organic chemicals.

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.
Eltherm ELKM-AG-L insulated resistance heating cables provide process temperature maintenance and frost protection to vessels, pipes, valves, IBC’s and tanks up to 260° Celsius.
