Item # 881-series, Impedance Heating System

Benefits

• Low Voltage Operation - All systems operate at less than 30 Volts, many at 10 Volts or below. INDEECO systems meet or exceed the requirements of the National Electrical Code (Article 427), assuring safe operation.
• Uniform Heating - Because the entire pipe effectively acts as the heating element, heat is generated uniformly throughout its entire length and circumference without hot spots.
• Simplicity - The impedance method takes the complexity out of pipeline heating. A few basic components comprise the entire heating system. Installation is simple; it can be installed without disturbing most of the existing thermal insulation.
• Wide Temperature Range - INDEECO has pioneered the use of impedance heating for applications ranging from below freezing to 1600°F. It is often the only viable option for high temperature pipeline heating.
• Close Control - Thermocouple sensors placed along the pipeline provide precise, uniform temperature control. Optional SCR controls give the ability to achieve control within ± 1°F.
• Low Cost - Installation costs are kept to a minimum by the inherent simplicity of the system. Likewise, maintenance is virtually eliminated; many systems operate unattended. Energy costs are low because the required energy is concentrated in the pipe and efficiently heats the fluid or gas traveling through it.
• No Burnouts - When the pipe becomes the heating element, burnouts and failures associated with electrical resistance tapes and cables are eliminated.
