Never attempt to shorten the heaters by cutting the tape / cord.
Note: For Type and selection see Section 8 Technical Specifications.
Page 8 of 20
M6884 Issue 4.2
5.2. Installation. Do Not Unpack the Heating Tape / Cord yet. All vessels and pipes
must be checked for sharp edges and burs and clean prior to installation of the
heater. Any valves, unions, sharp edges or other fittings that will create air spaces
and prevent good physical contact of the heater should be rounded off by means of
foam pads of compressed aluminium foil to soften the edges and fill the gaps. If
possible, temperature control or readout sensors should be fixed in place prior to
fixing the heater. Glass fabric adhesive tape can be used to secure and pad the
sensor.
5.3. Handling and Tracing Heating tapes and Cords are manufactured from glass,
ceramic and quartz fibres, and are easily damaged by poor handling during
installation. Care must be taken to ensure that no twisting or kinking of the loose
length of tape during tracing into place. Any tight bend or twist in the heater may
result in rupture or separation of the outer layers of glass yarns and a live element
wire may protrude. Most Installations are better if two persons are involved in the
handling.
** HC series heating cords should be doubled-over at their mid-length point
and spiral wound onto the structure with both ends adjacent to one another.
Spiral winding in a single pass for the HC series cords will result in induced
magnetic fields which are capable of both causing localised heating and
producing EMC failures in adjacent electrical equipment. Care should be taken
at the double-over point not to form too tight a radius, overstressing and
damaging the element and/or its sheath.
5.4. Tracing Methods Low powers and temperatures can be met by simple straight
tracing, taping the heater along the underside of a pipe, fixing at 15cm (6ins)
intervals. Increased installed power can be achieved by spiralling the heater around
the pipe or vessel, at any spiral rate from very open , to close coiling turn against
turn, (never overlapping) fix with glass fabric adhesive tape at 15cm (6ins) intervals
for open spiralling, increasing to 25cm (10ins) intervals for close coiling.
NOTE Do not fix tape, other than at start and finish, until the spiral winding is even,
in proper contact and disposed over the whole heated length.
Insulation Most heating systems will benefit from thermal insulation, which should
be selected to suit the temperatures required. Various materials can be used and
can be classified as follows:
Up to 80C
- use PVC/Nitrile rubber foam.
100 to 180C
- use Silicon Rubber insulation foam
180 to 400C
- use Rockwool or Glassfibre.
400 to 750C
- use Ceramic fibre blanket.
Well fitted insulation decreases heat loss and cover and supports the heater over the
whole area of the insulation. Fibrous insulation, such as wool and ceramic fibre can
be cut to size, enveloped in aluminium foil and the taped into place. In general terms,
the thicker the insulation layer, the more efficient the heater will be.
Up to 80 C
- at least 10mm (0.4ins)thickness.
100 to 180 C
- at least 25mm (1.0ins) thickness.
180 to 400 C
- at least 50mm (2.0 ins) thickness.
400 to 600 C
- at least 75mm (3.0ins) thickness.
Above 600 C
- at least 100mm (4.0ins) thickness.
General Most of the heaters and insulation’s are fibrous in nature, and will absorb
moisture if left cold. If residual current circuit breakers are fitted to the power supply,
larger insulation’s may absorb enough moisture to trip circuit breakers.

M6884 Issue 4.2
Upon receipt of the Tape or Cord proceed consecutively as follows:5.5. Power Supply The heating system will only be as good and reliable as the control
system permits. Various types are listed below, with their limitations.
5.6. Energy Control ( Bibby Scientific MC227 and MC228) Usually based upon thermal
simmerstats, or a variety of solid state power control devices. Adjustable rate of
energy flow based upon knob and pointer on arbitrary scale. This is the very lowest
level of control that should be used and then only under constant supervision and
never under any circumstances where excess temperature could create an unsafe or
hazardous situation. Monitoring of temperature is essential, adjustment may be
frequent, or temperatures will drift.
5.7. Thermostats Bi metal contact switches and capillary and bulb mechanical
thermostats, although often difficult to fit, can be used. Accuracy is likely to be only
+/- 5 percent.
Electronic thermostats can be used to give considerable accuracy, usually
+/- 1 deg C and use a sensor mounted on the pipe or in the vessel.
5.8. Digital Display Controller (Electrothermal MC810B). This controller with digital
display and the capacity to pre-programme setting and display range is the best
solution to simple and accurate temperature control for non volatile and non
hazardous applications. It can also be used as a ‘Policeman’ overtemperature
device, as part of a more sophisticated control system when heating delicate, volatile
or more hazardous substances.
5.9. Proportional and PID Control Systems Delicate and difficult materials and
materials that require heat input whilst flowing through the system will require more
sophisticated control systems. Contact Electrothermal Technical Sales for more
information and advice.
5.10.
Sensors Thermocouples or resistance sensors should be selected to suit the
maximum temperatures involved, should be as small as possible, to give fast
response to changes, should be electrically and physically isolated from the heater
and firmly fixed to the surface of the pipe or vessel if temperature maintenance is
required or inserted into the fluid or solid matter if the process heat is required.
5.11.
Electrical Installation This should be done by a competent electrician under
the direction of the Responsible Body, so that a full knowledge of operational and
safety requirements is understood. Installation should be in compliance with all
current mandatory regulations.
5.12.
Mains Connection All metal parts should be properly Protective Earthed
(Grounded) to an approved and tested bonding point.
5.13.
Each heater in a system must be fused or protected by overcurrent circuit
breakers of appropriate rating.
5.14.
All connecting cables to be selected to ensure that their current and operating
temperature limits meet the requirements of the application.
5.15.
Provision should be made to switch off and isolate heating and control
circuits in the immediate vicinity of the process.
5.16.
If practical, provision for additional safety in the form of a residual current
device fitted to the incoming supply, should be considered.
