HEAT TRACE – HEATER CABLE TYPES

EKL Light - Flexible Single Core Plastic Insulated Heating Cable +260 °C

EKL light is a serial resistant heating cable for use in industrial and commercial areas. It is suitable for frost protection applications and temperature maintenance on pipes and tanks and it is also extremely flexible. This makes EKL light easy to install, even on irregular shapes such as on pumps, valves and flanges. The PFA protective jacket gives the EKL light a high degree of chemical and mechanical resistance, even at high temperatures. In economical terms, EKL light is a genuine alternative to SLHBs when the latter’s maximum heating circuit lengths are exceeded. With pre-assembled cold leads and our connection technology, complete heating circuits can be set up quickly and flexibly.

• Constant power output per meter
• Steam purging resistant, suitable for high temperatures up to +260 °C
• Easy installation, very flexible

Application Areas:

• Protection of pipelines and tanks carrying chemical substances from freezing.
• Temperature control in process lines working with corrosive and aggressive chemicals.
• Heating of crude oil and natural gas pipelines to ensure fluidity.
• Protection of high-temperature-required pipelines in refineries and petroleum processing plants.
• High-temperature maintenance in systems resistant to steam cleaning.
• Flexible heating applications for irregularly shaped components such as pumps, valves, and flanges.
• Applications requiring long heating circuits in industrial and commercial areas.
• Safe temperature control in explosive atmospheres (Ex-proof zones).
• Safe use without the need for a temperature limiter.

EKL Light - Junction Box

Polyester enclosures have proven their worth in many industrial plants. They offer safe protection even when they are used under extremely unfavorable conditions, on exposure to aggressive chemical media or hard mechanical conditions. The inside base of the enclosure has at its sides, threaded bushings for the fastening of mounting rails or panels. The enclosure is mounted by means of insulated screws outside of the lid seal.

• Temperature-resistant
• Flame-retardant
• Absolutely corrosion-proof
• Seawater-proof

Application Areas:

• Safe protection of electrical connections in industrial facilities.
• Insulation of connection points in corrosive and aggressive chemical environments.
• Use of junction boxes for heating systems in oil, gas, and petrochemical plants.
• Protection of seawater-resistant connection points in maritime and offshore applications.
• High-temperature-resistant applications in refineries and power plants.
• Secure installation of cable connections in industrial areas with harsh mechanical conditions.
• Safe usage in explosive atmospheres (Ex-proof zones) due to its flame-retardant properties.
• Hygienic and durable enclosure solutions for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
