Sheath temperature/Dimensions

Sheath temperature

The sheath temperature (Tm) of the cable will vary depending on the process (ambient) temperature (Tp), load (Q) and way of installation.

The sheath temperature is calculated as follows:

Tm = Q / Ua + Tp

Tm = Sheath temperature in °C
Tp = Process temperature in °C
Q = Load in W/m
Ua = Heat transfer coeffience
Ua Installed without dissipation of heat = 0.32
Ua With fitted Aluminium foil = 0.65
Ua With fitted Alu-tape = 0.8

xample:

Velox TCTR mounted without dissipation of heat with an ambient temperature of 100°C, output 30 W/m will have a sheath temperature of 192°C.

TCTR cable installed with fitted aluminium tape as dissipation of heat (Ua = 08)

Disspipation of heat

The heat transfer coefficient (Ua) can be improved considerably (3 to 10 times) by arranging some dissipation of heat, for instance by providing the cable with aluminium tape. This will enable you to use the heating cable also at high process temperatures up to 200°C.
