Pipe Frost Protection
Heating systems are designed to protect vulnerable elements such as pipes, valves, and actuators from the damaging effects of freezing temperatures. The financial impact of damage to these components can often surpass the investment cost of installing a heating system. These systems prevent freezing in:
- Water fixtures
- Sewage systems
- Sprinkler systems
- Hydrants
- HVAC pipes and ducts
They are suitable for heating all types of pipes, including metal (steel, copper, iron) and plastic. For effective pipe and pipeline heating, we offer:
- Constant wattage heating cables (ELEKTRA VCD10 and ELEKTRA FreezeTec®), which deliver a consistent heat output per meter
- Self-regulating heating cables (ELEKTRA SelfTec®), adjusting their heat output based on external temperature variations.
Snow & Ice Protection
Snow and ice protection systems are essential for safeguarding roofs, gutters, and downpipes from the damaging effects of winter conditions. These systems help prevent:
- Snow and ice buildup on roofs
- Damage caused by ice in gutters and downpipes
- Water damage on building walls
- Icicle formation
To protect roofing elements, heating cables with UV-resistant outer sheaths are recommended, including:
- ELEKTRA VCDR heating cables
- Durable ELEKTRA TuffTec heating cables
- ELEKTRA SelfTec® and SelfTec®PRO20 self-regulating heating cables
Protection for driveways, traffic routes, parking areas, and stairs ensures safe and accessible outdoor spaces during winter. Proper heating requires assessing the necessary heat output per square meter, considering regional factors such as minimum temperatures, snowfall intensity, and wind strength.
For effective external area heating, the following solutions are available:
- ELEKTRA VC25 single-side supplied heating cables (25 W/m)
- Durable ELEKTRA TuffTec heating cables (30 W/m)
- ELEKTRA SnowTec® heating mats, utilizing ELEKTRA VCD cables (300 W/m²)
- Robust ELEKTRA SnowTec®Tuff heating mats, made with ELEKTRA TuffTec cables (400 W/m²)
