Decarbonization and Transition to Electricity: Top 10 Benefits of Electric Process Heat Trace for Industry Compared to Gas Heating Systems

For maintaining process temperature and preventing freezing!

The BSX self-regulating heater cable for freeze prevention or process temperature maintenance is designed to prevent freezing and maintain process temperatures in metal and non-metal piping, tanks, and equipment. The thermal output of the BSX cable varies according to the surrounding conditions of the entire circuit. As heat loss increases (i.e., as the outside temperature decreases) in insulated piping, the thermal output of the cable increases. Conversely, when heat loss decreases (i.e., as the outside temperature rises or when power flows through the product generating heat), the cable responds and the thermal output decreases. This product is recognized for use in hazardous locations as a safety-enhanced explosion-proof structure in Japan, and it has also obtained certification for FM (USA) and IEC (Europe) standards. 【Features】 ■ Capable of maintaining process temperatures in low-temperature ranges ■ Capable of preventing freezing in low-temperature ranges ■ The thermal output of the cable changes according to the ambient temperature ■ The heater can be cut to length on-site *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

When a large heat output is needed! For maintaining process temperature and preventing freezing!

The RSX 15-2 self-regulating heater cable is used for process temperature maintenance and freeze prevention when more heat output is required than the BSX. The heat output of the RSX 15-2 varies depending on the surrounding conditions along the entire length of the circuit. As the thermal losses from insulated piping, tanks, or equipment increase (as the outside temperature decreases), the heat output of the cable increases. Conversely, when thermal losses decrease (as the outside temperature rises or when power flows to the product), the cable responds and the heat output decreases. Self-regulating heater cables increase output when the temperature drops and decrease output when the temperature rises. Salmon manufactures a wide variety of self-regulating heater cables to suit each application. Salmon's self-regulating heater cables can be widely used for applications ranging from freeze prevention to high-temperature maintenance. 【Features】 ■ Process temperature maintenance ■ Self-regulating ■ UL certified (USA) *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

At construction sites, temporary parking lots may be established for workers and construction-related vehicles. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can easily occur due to rain, which may hinder vehicle access. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in temporary parking lots, a suitable environment for vehicle passage and parking can be created while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in the necessary areas, and after the construction is completed, they can be removed and repurposed for temporary roads or access routes. The 5×10 panels weigh approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panels weigh about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, allowing for changes in parking space. Additionally, they offer benefits unique to wood, such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and CO2 fixation. They are registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A," and can be utilized for the development of temporary parking lots and innovative public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
