tct-nummer
  1. Sheath in Teflon FEP
  2. Armouring Braided Cu 6x3x0.21mm
  3. Conductor insulation Teflon FEP
  4. Resistance wire Cu, CuNi

Area of use

Temperature maintenance and heating of piping, tanks, vents etc in applications with high temperatures, large power requirements and aggressive environmentals.

TCT can be installed at plants which are steam purified.

TCT has a sheath of corrosions toughened material (teflon) and manages aggressive environmentals.

Sheath temperature

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 coefficience

Example:

Velox TCT mounted without dissipation of heat at an ambient temperature of 100 °C, loaded with 30 W/m will have a sheath temperature of 145°C.

Dissipation of heat

The heat transfer coefficient (Ua) can be improved considerably (3 to10 times) by arranging some dissipation of heat, for instance by providing the cable with aluminium tape.
