Heating Cables
Heating cables are used for radiant heating and are durable, long lasting and require no maintenance. Heating cables are safe, effective and cost less compared to the conventional heating systems
Self-Regulating Heating Cables
Self-regulating heating cables are parallel circuit electric heater strips used to protect fluids in pipelines from freezing. Heating cable with features to meet the requirements of wet, dirty, chemical exposure, and hazardous area applications is available. The heater cable derives its self-regulating characteristic from the inherent properties of the conductive core material. An increase in the temperature of the core material leads to a decrease in the number of conductive path in the core material. This leads to decrease in the heat output. As the temperature decreases, the number of conductive path increases.
Floor Warming Cables
Radiant heat is more efficient than the older heating systems. The heat starts at the floor level and slowly rises to warm the air in all the rooms. It is cleaner and dust free compared to the forced air-heating system. Radiant heat allows warming of only the area that needs heat. The radiant heating cables are used in radiant heating systems. The cable is made from a conductor wire which is long lasting and has a durable PVC plastic outer covering. Radiant heating cables are available in ready-made sets from 300 to 2200 Watts. These watts are ideal for warming a room of almost any size. Cable of custom sizes and voltages are also available. The floor warming cables work with any type of floor- whether it is slab, frame or hard wood. These cables are energy efficient and are durable and long lasting. The floor warming cables work with any heating system and ready-made units for any room size is available. Cables are safe to use and easy to install.
Silicon Jacket Floor Warming Cables
Silicon jacket (SJ) cables are flexible and bend easily to accommodate the existing or planned built-ins. They can cover the entire open floor area. SJ floor warming cables come in ready to install packs. The features of Silicon Jacket floor cables are constant watt along heated length. The cables can be installed in 120,208,240 and 277 VAC. A single cable on one circuit can cover 280 square feet for floor warming and 180 square feet for primary heating.
