Application of electric heating cable in underground garage

In modern buildings, underground garages have become an indispensable part. However, due to their special environmental conditions, underground garages often face some problems, among which antifreeze of pipes and anti-slip of the ground are two important aspects. The application of electric heating cables provides an effective solution to these problems.

Pipes in underground garages, such as fire protection pipes, water supply and drainage pipes, etc., are prone to freezing in cold winter temperatures. Once the pipes freeze, it will not only affect the normal water use and fire protection functions in the garage, but may also cause the pipes to rupture and cause serious water leakage accidents. The use of electric heating cables can effectively prevent pipe freezing.

Electric heating cables provide continuous and stable heat to the pipes through the principle of resistance heating. The electric heating cables are evenly wound around the surface of the pipes. After the power is turned on, it can generate a suitable temperature to keep the water in the pipes above the freezing point, thereby avoiding the occurrence of freezing.

Compared with traditional heating methods, electric heating cables have many advantages. First, its installation is relatively simple. It does not require large-scale construction and complex equipment. It only needs to be wrapped around the pipe according to certain rules and properly fixed and insulated. Secondly, the operating cost of electric heating cables is low. It can automatically adjust the power according to the ambient temperature, while ensuring the heating effect, saving energy to the greatest extent. In addition, the service life of electric heating cables is long and the maintenance cost is relatively low.

Electric heating cables can also play an important role in preventing the ground from slipping in underground garages. In cold weather, the garage floor is prone to ice, posing a safety hazard to vehicles and pedestrians. By laying electric heating cables under the ground, the ground temperature can be raised to prevent ice from forming, and the friction of the ground can be increased, thereby improving safety.

For example, in the underground garage of a large commercial center, due to the low temperature in winter, the ground often freezes, causing vehicles to slip and even several minor collision accidents. After the electric heating cables were installed, the problem of ground icing was completely solved, and the passage of vehicles and pedestrians became safer and smoother.

In addition, electric heating cables can also be used for snow melting and ice removal in underground garages. After snowfall, the snow on the garage entrances and ramps can easily cause difficulties for vehicles to drive. The heating effect of the electric heating cable can quickly melt the snow and ice to ensure the normal entry and exit of vehicles.

However, in the application of electric heating cables in underground garages, some issues need to be paid attention to. The first is the selection issue. According to the actual area of ​​the underground garage, the length of the pipeline, the ambient temperature and other factors, the electric heating cable with appropriate power and length should be selected to ensure the heating effect. The second is the installation quality. The installation process must be carried out strictly in accordance with the specifications to ensure that the electric heating cable is tightly fitted with the pipeline or the ground, well insulated, and avoid safety accidents such as leakage. At the same time, it is also necessary to equip a complete control system to realize the temperature monitoring and control of the electric heating cable so that timely measures can be taken when abnormal conditions occur.

In short, the application of electric heating tape in underground garages has obvious advantages and remarkable results. However, to achieve its best results, attention must be paid to selection, installation and control. Proper application of electric heating tape will create a safer and more comfortable environment for underground garages and improve their overall quality and use value.
