Improved software supports heat-tracing operations
The Raychem XPI-F is the latest addition to this company’s XPI polymer-insulated resistance heat-tracing cables (photo), which are developed to provide freeze protection and temperature maintenance in hazardous environments on long-line applications. This product includes Raychem TraceCalc Pro design software, which provides a step-by-step guide to choosing the best heat-tracing solution to meet the site-specific requirements. The software also provides heat-tracing system design data, such as pipe heat loss, number of circuits, electrical loads, maximum sheath temperatures and more, while providing automated heating cable and component selection solutions. — Pentair Thermal Management, Leuven, Belgium
