THERMON BSX Self-Regulating Trace Heating Cable – High-Quality Heating Element - for Process Temperature Maintenance, Freeze Protection, Hot Water Systems

Thermon BSX - Product Info

Freeze Protection or Process Temperature Maintenance BSX self-regulating heating cables are designed to provide freeze protection or process temperature maintenance to metallic and nonmetallic piping, tanks and equipment. The heat output of BSX cable varies in response to the surrounding conditions along the entire length of a circuit. Whenever the heat loss of the insulated pipe, tank or equipment increases (as ambient temperature drops), the heat output of the cable increases. Conversely, when the heat loss decreases (as the ambient temperature rises or product flows), the cable reacts by reducing its heat output.

• Applications: Thermon BSX self-regulating heating cables are for use with trace heating installations, typically to regulate temperature, maintain viscosity and prevent freezing of pipes, tanks and other equipment which carries liquids. Suitable for use in commercial, industrial and domestic applications.
• Usage: Thermon trace heating cables offer energy-efficient heating and temperature maintenance due to a clever self-regulating element that varies its heat output in accordance with changes in the ambient temperature across the length of a circuit. Thermon BSX cables can be used on metallic and non-metallic surfaces and are certified for use in both ordinary (nonclassified) and hazardous (classified) areas.
• Construction: Thermon BSX cables have a complex multilayer construction and offer industry-leading build quality. The core consists of nickel-plated copper bus wires (16 AWG) embedded within radiation cross-linked semiconductive heating matrix, followed by radiation cross-linked dielectric insulation. This is surrounded by a tinned copper braid, and a polyolefin over-jacket to provide additional protection where exposure to aqueous inorganic chemicals is expected. The FOJ variant offers a fluoropolymer over-jacket which offers additional protection where exposure to organic chemicals and corrosives is expected.
