KTE-m Cable Thermostat

Ex Proof Heat Tracing Equipment - KTE-m Cable Thermostat

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.

KTE-m Cable Thermostat

• Very small construction
• ATEX gas and dust approval
• High switching current
• Wide operating temperature range
• Ready for connection, maintenance-free

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.
