Solutions for Industrial, Commercial and Residential Applications<\/b><\/h5>\n

As a leading provider of radiant heat<\/span> solutions, Warmzone<\/span> has earned its reputation as a trusted industry leader. Having designed systems that have been installed in large refineries, commercial facilities and custom residential applications, Warmzone<\/span>’s expertise is a valuable asset to businesses or homeowners seeking a reliable pipe trace solution.<\/p>\n

\"Heat<\/p>\n

Warmzone<\/span> pipe trace systems can be installed for pipe freeze prevention as well as process temperature maintenance installations. The self-regulating heat cable<\/a> is UL listed and approved for hazardous and non-hazardous applications. It can be used for plastic or metal pipe freeze protection and flow maintenance of pipes, tanks, valves.<\/p>\n

The self-regulating characteristics of the heat cable means that it automatically varies its power output in response to pipe temperature changes. When the ambient temperature<\/span> rises, the electrical resistance<\/span> increases and the consumption of electricity decreases. This ensures energy-efficient operation. The cable will also not overheat or burnout – even when touching or overlapping.<\/p>\n

Additionally, because of the self-regulating properties, a thermostat<\/span> may not be necessary in some applications. With the optional outer jacket, the heating cable is resistant to watery and inorganic chemicals and protected against abrasion<\/span> and impact damage. RHSR is suitable for use in explosion-hazardous areas up to a maximally admissible work-place temperature of +149° F (65° C).<\/p>\n

Features Include:<\/b><\/p>\n

Energy Efficient Operation<\/b> – The self-regulating cable automatically varies its power output in response to pipe temperature changes. When the ambient temperature<\/span> rises, the electrical resistance<\/span> increases and the consumption of electricity decreases, ensuring energy-efficient operation. And the cable will not overheat or burnout – even when touching or overlapping.<\/p>\n

Lower<\/b> Cost<\/b> – Less installation cost than steam tracing; less maintenance expense and less downtime.<\/p>\n

\"Pipe<\/p>\n

Safe \/ Durable<\/b> – Does not overheat or burn out, even when touching or overlapping.<\/p>\n

Versatile<\/b> – Suitable for use in non-hazardous, hazardous and corrosive environments.<\/p>\n

Easy Installation<\/b> – The cable can be cut to any length required on site (up to max circuit length) so there’s no wasted cable. And the termination, power connection, splice<\/span>, tee, and end seal kit reduces installation time and requires no special skills or tools.<\/p>\n

Heat Cable Options Include:<\/b><\/p>\n

Tinned copper braid provides additional mechanical protection and a positive ground path<\/p>\n

Flame retardant thermoplastic<\/span> outer jacket protects against certain inorganic chemical solutions. It also protects against abrasion<\/span> and impact damage.<\/p>\n

The high-temperature Fluoropolymer outer jacket is used when there may be exposure to organic or corrosive solutions, or vapors may be present.<\/p>\n

RHSR is UL listed, self-regulating parallel heating cable designed for a variety of industrial applications and environments, including hazardous and nonhazardous. It can be used for plastic or metal pipe freeze protection and flow maintenance of pipes, tanks, valves.<\/p>\n

Warmzone<\/span> Roof Deicing Panels<\/h3>\n

Prevent Ice Dams from Forming<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

As we look forward to a warm summer, many residents in the north east are still reeling from the costly effects of record snowfall. Ice dams<\/a> continue to be winter’s biggest culprit when it comes to roof damage.<\/p>\n

Warm air slowly escapes from the home and into the attic where it warms the roof, causing snow to melt. As the runoff trickles down the roof, it reaches the eaves<\/span>. Because the eaves<\/span> extend out over the edges of the house, there is no warm air from the attic below. In the evening, the runoff will reach the cold eaves<\/span> and refreeze. There, the ice continues to build up as more snow melts. The wall of ice causes water to build up behind it, refreezing every time the temperature dips below 32°Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n

When the water pools up behind these ice dams, it can seep into tiny cracks in the roofing material where it refreezes and expands. This repeated process can eventually compromise the structure. Water can slowly work its way into the attic and then drip through the ceiling or down walls. Oftentimes the homeowner is not aware of any problem until significant water damage has occurred.<\/p>\n

Warmzone<\/span> offers an ideal way to protect homes and businesses from water damage. RoofHeat panels feature attractive aluminum panels with self-regulating heat cable. The panels are installed long the roof edge between the waterproof membrane<\/span> and the shingle. The roof heating<\/span> panels are supplied in 4-foot lengths and can be cut to length on site. Self-regulating heat cable<\/a> is channeled through the panel, creating an effective roof deicing system that efficiently warms the roof edges help prevent ice dams from forming. The aluminum panels can also be installed in roof valleys to facilitate runoff.<\/p>\n
