This document discusses various specialized heating systems provided by ESH Trace Heating Ltd including: 1) Tanker heating systems that offer reliable electric heating pads for tankers up to 200°C. 2) High temperature trace heating tapes custom-made for applications up to 750°C such as laboratory use and welding. 3) Antenna dish heaters that prevent snow and ice on satellite dishes using molded heating panels.

1. Specialised Heating
Systems

2. Tanker heating systems…
Electric heating systems for road tankers offer reliability,
easy of installation, close temperature control freedom
from corrosion and maintenance.
ESH heater pad systems offer maximum flexibility of
design to suit individual requirements. They are
constructed from robust high temperature materials
operating up to 200°C.
Each system comprises a number of heater pads fitted to
the underside of the tanker and covering up to 60% of the
tanker circumference, enabling low density heating to be
used with sensitive products. They can be supplied as
single circuit systems or with multi-circuits with
spare/standby facility and heat raising as required.
Pads can be easily fitted over existing steam tubes.
Systems can be supplied for supply voltages up to 44oV
with loadings up to 20KW.

3. High temperature trace
heating…
Our specialised high temperature trace heating glass
and silica glass insulated tapes can be custom made
to suit specific application requirements.
These high power, high temperature heating tapes
are suitable for a temperature range of -100°C to
+750°C.
Applications for our high temperature tapes include:
•Laboratory use
•High vacuum plant bake-out
•Pre-heat prior to welding
•Lead solder lines
High temperature tapes are factory terminated in a
made-to-measure, ready-to-fit form.

4. Antenna dish heaters…
These heater panels designed to fit the rear of satellite
receiving dish aerials to prevent snow and ice
accumulation on the front face.
Comprising of moulded Styrosun panels formed to the
dish contours and incorporating a heater backed with
insulation, they form an integral part of the dish assembly.
Designed as sections requiring 4 to 8 sections per dish
the heater are lightweight (4kg/m² approx), easily installed
and removed and have good thermal transfer properties.
Each panel is fully sealed and suitable for installation in all
climatic conditions (-30°C to +70°C) to IP65.
Heating systems can be controlled by the ESH Trace
Heating temperature and/or precipitation detection
system.

5. Fly ash hopper heating…
Coal, oil and waste fired boiler systems require the
removal of fly-ash from the gas stream. The fly-ash is
removed by bay-house filters or precipitation
systems and stored in hoppers.
It is essential that the hoppers are maintained at an
elevated temperature to prevent hoppers plugging
and corrosion.
Type HB module systems are specifically designed
to maintain hoppers at elevated temperatures, to be
resistant to shock and vibration and give long-life,
reliable operation.
The module heaters have an operating temperature
range up to +450°C and are vibration proof. Correctly
installed they offer a thermally efficient and extremely
reliable solution to the maintaining of fly-ash hoppers
at the elevated temperatures.

6. Road, ramp & stair heating…
During harsh winters, snow and ice can often cause
many problems for both vehicles and pedestrians.
Exposed ramps, stairways and emergency exist can
become a hazard.
ESH Trace Heating Ltd provide a comprehensive range
of products to prevent the settlement of snow and
formation of ice on roads, ramps, stairs, footpaths and
emergency exit areas.
With our diverse range of surface heating products,
ramp heating and commercial underfloor heating
systems can be designed, supplied and installed to suit
application requirements.

7. Refrigeration trace heating…
ESH Trace Heating Ltd manufacture a
comprehensive range of refrigeration
heating cables, suited for the de-icing
of drain lines and freezer doors and the
anti-condensation of refrigerated
window displays.
Other applications would include:
•Freezer cabinets
•Cold room door seals
Our refrigeration heating cables offer a
safe and reliable solution to sticking
doors, condensation and ice build ups.
Tapes are either cut-to-length to suit
site requirements or factory terminated
in a made-to-measure, ready-to-fit
form.

8. Heated flexible hoses…
Heated hoses are designed to prevent flow restrictions within a
flexible hose. A standard method of construction for different bore
size, an infinite variety lengths and the range of materials
available enable the design to be individually tailored to customer
requirements and retain the high quality of manufacture.
Note – All ESH Trace Heating hoses must be connected to a
suitable temperature controller to protect against damage.
