Application
Thermon BSX self-regulating trace heating cables are designed to provide freeze protection and process temperature maintenance for temperatures up to 65°C. These heating cables can be installed on metallic and non-metallic piping, tanks, vessels and equipment and are suitable for applications without steam cleaning requirements. When powered off the BSX cables can withstand continuous exposure temperatures of up to 85°C.
The heat output of the BSX cables varies in response to the surrounding conditions along the entire length of a circuit. Whenever the heat loss of the insulated pipe, tank or equipment increases (as ambient temperature drops), the heat output of the cable increases. Conversely, when the heat loss decreases (as the ambient temperature rises or product flows), the cable reacts by reducing its heat output. BSX heat tracing cables are available with polyolefin (OJ) overjacket suitable for mild inorganic solutions and with a fluoropolymer (FOJ) overjacket for higher chemical resistance against aggressive organics and corrosives.
The BSX heat trace cables are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassified) areas and hazardous (classified) areas.
