Ground heating electric heat tracing installation points

With the development of modern heating technology, the ground heating electric accompanying heat system is gradually favored with its high efficiency and flexible characteristics. However, in order to let the electric accompanying heat system play the best effect in the ground heating, the correct installation is the vital link, the following is to introduce its installation points in detail.

Pre-preparation

Adequate pre-preparation is key before carrying out a floor heating electric trace heat installation. First of all, the installation site should be measured accurately to determine the coverage and layout of the electric trace heat system. At the same time, choose the right power and type of electric trace heat tape according to the thermal demand of the site. For example, self-limiting electric heat tracing tape with relatively low power may be used in smaller rooms, while larger spaces may require constant power electric heat tracing tape with higher power. In addition, ensure that the site is dry, flat, no sharp objects, so as not to damage the electric trace heating tape.

Installation layout

The installation layout of electric heating tape should follow certain principles. It should be evenly laid along the ground heating area to avoid the situation of localized overheating or insufficient heat. If it is room heating, usually according to the snake or back to the zigzag way to lay the electric accompanied by the heat tape. When installing around the pipe, make sure that the electric accompanying heat tape and the pipe closely fit, and can not have the phenomenon of cross and overlap, otherwise it may lead to localized overheating, affecting the service life of the electric accompanying heat system and the heating effect. In addition, the beginning and end of the electric heat tracing tape should be well marked to facilitate the subsequent connection and debugging.

Connections and fixings

Connection link is crucial. When connecting the electric heating tape, use the special junction box, according to the operating instructions of the junction box to connect, make sure that the connection is solid and well insulated. After the completion of wiring, to carry out strict insulation test. For the electric accompanied by the heat of the fixed, can use special fixed tape or card. Fixed spacing should be moderate, neither too loose to make the electric accompanied by tropical displacement, nor too tight to affect its heating performance. In the corner, pipeline and other special parts, pay more attention to the firmness of the fixing, to ensure that the electric accompanied by the tropical in the long-term use of the process will not be loose.

Temperature control system installation

Temperature control system is an important part of ground heating electric heat tracing. It is necessary to choose suitable temperature controller and set the temperature control parameters according to the use demand of the room and the ambient temperature. The thermostat should be installed in a position that is easy to operate and sense the room temperature, generally about 1.5 meters from the ground. Connect the thermostat with the electric heating tape correctly to ensure that it can accurately control the heating of the electric heating tape, so that the room temperature can be maintained in a comfortable range, and at the same time, it can also play a role in energy saving.

Safety and Protection

Safety is a factor that must be considered in the installation of electric heat tracing for floor heating. The electric trace heat must be well grounded to prevent leakage accidents. Avoid mechanical damage to the electric heating tape during installation. If installed in a humid environment, waterproof measures should be done, such as sealing the key parts of the junction box and so on. After the installation is completed, a comprehensive inspection should be carried out to ensure that the whole system operates safely and reliably.

By mastering these floor heating electric trace heating installation points, you can ensure that the electric trace heating system operates efficiently, safely and stably, providing a comfortable heating environment for the room.
