Electro-Therm Products Heating Cables – Electric Heat Tracing Self-Regulating Heating Cables FSE/FSEw Self-Regulating Heating Cables – Tmax 100 °C

FSE/FSEw Self-Regulating Heating Cables – Tmax 100 °C

FSE and FSEw are self-regulating heating tapes designed for freeze protection and temperature maintenance of pipes and vessels.

They can be cut to length directly on site, allowing custom installations without design constraints.

These cables are certified to CNEX, DNV, ATEX, IEC, IECEx and CE standards. Suitable for both hazardous and non-hazardous areas in compliance with international regulations, they ensure optimal safety even in the most demanding environments.

Thanks to their self-regulating technology, the heating tapes automatically adjust their output according to the surface temperature.

They will not overheat or become damaged, even when overlapped.

This self-regulating heating tape is designed for freeze protection and temperature maintenance of pipes and vessels across a wide range of industrial sectors.

Application Example:
For safety and practical reasons, central heating fuel storage tanks are often installed outdoors, in unheated or isolated areas.

Problem Example:
During winter, low temperatures can cause fuel waxing or coagulation. This leads to filter blockages, clogged supply lines, and pumping difficulties, potentially resulting in a complete shutdown of the heating system.

Solution:
One of the most effective ways to prevent these issues is the use of FSE/FSEw heating cables, specifically designed to keep the fuel at an optimal temperature and ensure continuous operation of the central heating system, even under severe climatic conditions.
