Heating cables are ordinary cable products with a core of one or more heating components that heat up when an electric current passes through them. Such a product can be used to heat various structures: plumbing systems, roofs, industrial overpasses, floors, as well as walls in residential apartments, etc. Depending on the task, different types of heating cables are used, since their installation requires taking into account a wide variety of parameters.
Advantages of an electrical heating cable
The heating component in a special electrical heating system is considered a significant component, and therefore scientists are constantly inventing more highly efficient types of cables. However, most of them have similar characteristics and are distinguished by such undeniable advantages as:
- reliability and durability of the operational resource;
- versatility of application;
- environmentally friendly and complete safety;
- ease of installation and use.
Other benefits vary according to the type of item.
Heating cables can be ordered on the Antiled-Group website. Here is an extensive assortment range of such products at an affordable cost. If necessary, you can get advice from a competent employee of our company.
What is a heating cable for?
The area of operation of electric heating is expanding regularly. This is due to the emergence of new solutions on the market. They can function in the most difficult conditions. Products are not afraid of exposure to moisture, dirt, and corrosive environments. Such cables are used both at extremely high and, on the contrary, very low temperatures. Such special systems are popular and in demand not only in private housing, but also in production workshops and machine tools. Heating cables improve the comfort of life or make the production process more efficient.
The versatility of the system makes it possible to use it in almost every room and in a wide variety of conditions. However, the most commonly ordered heating cable for:
- plumbing - this is especially true for private housing, in which plumbing systems can pass through cool rooms. The installation of the contour can be carried out not only along the inner, but also along the outer walls, it all depends here on the diameter of the pipe. Provided that the pipe diameter is large, an external gasket is required, as well as a self-regulating system, while for small pipes, an internally placed resistive heating cable is suitable;
- floors - underfloor heating is more often used in houses, but in recent years this has also ceased to be a rarity in apartments. If the contour is installed, it is placed directly in the concrete screed. A resistive cable is used more often, since it is more affordable in cost;
- roofs - heating of the roof is carried out entirely or only the edges, which is required to protect against the formation of icicles and snow masses along the edges of the roof. Installation can be performed on different types of roofs;
- containers with water and other reservoirs - it is possible to heat water both in the country and in industry. Firms that store oil or chemicals in large tanks often need to be heated. The electrical circuit does this job best.
This is not the whole list of options for cases when a heating cable is needed. In the industrial field, there are many such situations: maintaining the required temperature regime in a gas or oil pipeline, heating liquids, as well as working in hot shops, and more.
