Raychem VPL power-limiting trace heating cables are mainly used for process temperature maintenance applications that require steam cleaning, up to 455 °F/235 °C and withstand intermittent exposure to 500 °F/260 °C. VPL offers high power output at high temperatures, which can reduce the number of heating cables required and is hazardous area approved. Also suitable for freeze protection. The fluoropolymer outer jacket (-CT) provides high chemical resistance against aggressive organics and corrosives.
Features
- Efficient system design: high power output at elevated temperatures reduces heating cable required, flat P-T curve results in lower T start up and power equipment costs, longer circuit lengths due to larger cross section conductors
- Maximum circuit length further increases when operating at higher voltages: reducing the number of circuits and power supply equipment
- Fast installation: cut-to-length, multiple overlaps allowed, meter markings, user-friendly connections kits
- Safe and efficient in operation: no overheating, uniform pipe temperatures, energy saving technology
- Reliable during long life: 10 year product warranty available, maintenance free
