It’s been known for years that steam is a very efficient carrier of heat with a fixed relationship between its pressure and temperature. It can transport heat and gives up its heat at a relatively constant temperature. That’s why steam tracing has been a popular choice for industrial and process applications – but is it now the best choice?
Using heat trace cables that are familiar aren’t always the best choice. It turns out that finding a solid performing heat tracing cable proved to be a frustrating process for the team at Edge Melt Systems Ice Prevention when they were bringing to market a new Ice Dam Prevention product. In many cases, they discovered that heat tracing cables were poorly designed and did not offer up the level of performance that Edge Melt Systems Ice Prevention wanted to deliver to their customers. The search was on for the most reliable and best performing self-regulating cables on the market.
