The order of installation of the system "protection of pipelines from freezing" with their own hands
Before installing the heating section, to avoid the risk of damage to the cable, make sure that there are no sharp edges on the installation section of the pipe and around it, there are no metal deposits of welding work. The pipe surface must be dry, clean and without thermal insulation for better contact of the cable with the surface. Before laying the section heaters on a plastic pipe, it is necessary to glue a foil patch along the path of laying the cable along the entire length of the pipe, 50 millimeters wide to improve heat transfer to the heated pipe. The technology of laying the heating cable on a metal pipe is distinguished by the absence of the need for initial sizing of the foil patch on the surface of the pipe.
Attention, the installation of the heating section should begin with the installation and fixing of the foil sleeve of the end coupling with a built-in thermostat on the coldest section of the pipe, where the lowest temperatures are most likely to be affected. Attach the end coupling with the inscription thermostat to the pipe, and fix it with a foil patch. When laying, the heating cable must be applied with a foil patch every 30 centimeters. Next, the heating cable is glued with foil tape on top to improve the heat removal from the cable surface.
The installed heating cable must be insulated with thermal insulation, and in the case of pipe passage to the street, also with moisture insulation, to protect against the effects of precipitation. Turn the plug of the heating cable into an electrical outlet, when the ambient temperature drops below plus ten degrees, the thermostat turns on the heating cable when the pipeline temperature drops to plus 3 turns off when the pipelines reach a temperature of plus 10 degrees, which saves energy costs. Thus, there is no need to monitor the performance of the section and use an external expensive thermostat.
