Heat Trace

If you’re looking for an Mechanical Insulation and Heat Trace Professional, then you’re in the right place. We have built a reputation in the Lower Mainland for almost every kind of Insulation type, heat trace, firestopping and fireproofing.

During construction of your project, many factors go into ensuring its success. Professional contractors that provide professional services are essential to meeting your deadlines, and project budgets.

Industrial heat trace systems prevent freezing of fluids in pipes for a variety of industrial applications and environments, including hazardous, nonhazardous, and steam cleanable areas.

By selecting the proper industrial heat trace cable and controls, a process temperature maintenance system can maintain the temperature of the fluid in a pipe to the desired level, over a broad range of temperatures, depending on the need dictated by the particular process or application.

Tank Heating

STORE INDUSTRIAL LIQUIDS AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE
AND MINIMIZE ENERGY CONSUMPTION.

Tank heating systems are used for freeze protection and maintaining fluid temperatures in small, medium and large-volume, industrial storage tanks and vessels.

Hot or Not Mechanical Insulation excels in providing commercial services that fall into those classifications.

Heat Trace Benefits

Our heat trace experts can assist you in finding the right heat tracing product with the right finish for any environment.

A typical insulated pipe can take a few hours to a few days for the stagnant liquid in the pipe to go below minimum maintain temperature. The time required depends on thermodynamic characteristics such as ambient temperature, pipe diameter, insulation type and thickness, heat transfer coefficients and type of liquid.

Depending on the application, you may need to maintain the temperature of a fluid in a pipe above a certain minimum temperature within a moderate band, or within a narrow band to meet whatever process requirements your application dictates; for example:

Transporting the liquid
Using the liquid in a reaction
Preventing crystallization or degradation of the liquid
Safely shutting down the process
Maintaining the properties of the liquid

We also provide mechanical insulation services for every type of commercial project, and they will all start paying for themselves immediately in energy cost savings.

By partnering with our suppliers, we can ensure that you don’t waste money and protect the areas that need it most.

Long Pipeline Heating

Heat-Tracing System

Electric heat trace cables – heat trace cables that maintain the temperature of non-flowing fluids by replacing the heat lost through the thermal insulation on pipes, vessels and associated equipment.
Control and monitoring solutions – devices such as thermostats, controllers, and electric panels that monitor and/or control heat trace cables to help maintain the temperature of the fluid through a heat traced pipe.
Components and accessories – items for making electrical connections and properly completing the installation, such as end terminations, glass tape and warning labels.

Industrial longline heating is necessary to heat long pipelines, like transfer lines between processing plants or between storage or transportation facilities, for pipe freeze protection, condensation prevention, viscosity control, or temperature maintenance.

The complexity of this pipe heat trace system comes from the need for long electrical circuit lengths, usually with a single electrical power point.
