Instrument Enclosure Valves and Heating

From Therm-Omega-Tech, Inc.
 

 
Application: For the control of inside temperature of instrument enclosures or analyzer housings that are heated via steam or hot fluids. Purpose & Background: Instruments/analyzers installed out-of-doors are exposed to adverse conditions and are customarily enclosed in insulated boxes to protect them from physical and weather damage. Many installations require a certain inside temperature be maintained to prevent freezing, control viscosity or to maintain instrument calibration. Two systems are commonly utilized to provide such protection: Electrical Trace; using an electrical heat tracing cable normally provides excellent temperature control with integral thermostatic control but is costly to operate. Not suitable in many hazardous locations and traced equipment is subject to freeze damage during power outages. Steam/Hot Fluid Trace; this is normally accomplished by dressing a copper or stainless steel tube around the inside of an enclosure or by installing a coil or finned tube heating element inside an enclosure.
