AccuTrace - Heat Trace System
The AccuTrace Heat Trace System is designed to effectively tackle gas condensation issues by providing sophisticated temperature regulation. This system can function independently or be integrated with AG Systems or other hosts to address various challenges such as gas condensation and exhaust line bake-out. At its core, the system includes a heat output cable linked to a control system, a temperature sensor for monitoring gas line temperatures, and a controller that modulates power to the heating cable to sustain desired temperature levels. The system employs self-regulating heat trace cables such as the AT-BTXG and AT-UTXG Series. These cables feature a tinned copper braid and thermoplastic elastomer jacket, adhering to NEC code 427-22 and 427-23 standards for grounded metal coverings. The AccuTrace offers different power options, with AT-BTXG having outputs of 3, 5, and 10 watts per foot and AT-UTXG accommodating 5, 10, and 15 watts per foot, demonstrating versatility for various industrial applications.
Heat Trace Systems provides an excellent and proven solution to gas condensation problems. AccuTrace Systems may be used separately or interfaced with the AG Systems or other hosts to provide the total solution to your gas condensation problems, exhaust line bake-out, etcetera. The AccuTrace System eliminates process variables and gives greater process control.
The AccuTrace System consists of the required heat output cable connected to a control system.
A temperature sensor attached to the gas line measures the temperature and feeds back to the controller. The controller switches power to the heating cable to maintain the desired set point temperature. The heater cable is attached to the gas lines using fiberglass tape tie down points and the heater cable is secured with aluminum tape. Techlite Insulation is then put on the lines to minimize heat loss to the ambient environment.
Accutrace Self-Regulating Heat Trace Cable comes in a variety of heat outputs.
The AT-BTXG and AT-UTXG Series heat trace cable has a tinned copper braid cover with a thermoplastic elastomer outer jacket thereby conforming to the NEC code 427-22 and 427-23 for grounded metal covering of heaters.
