Heat tracing can be used to protect exposed pipework from freezing. The most common usage is to ensure prevention of freezing of pipework for water services. However the term frost protection more widely referes to maintain pipe contents at temperatures to stoped the contents solidifying. 

The mot efficent system for forst protection of water pipework is to use a self-regulating tracer in conjunction with an ambient temperature switching system. HTS provide efficent and cost effective designs for small and large scale frost protection systems to minimise material and installation cost and to ensure that the installed system is as energy efficient as possible

As with any heat tracing system correct system design ensures the most cost effective project spend. Ready reckoners or "catch-all" products are commonly used to produce material bills for frost protection of water pipework. As a consequence systems are often oversized and incur needless power consumption.  You can issue an online enquiry for frost protection here.

Traced pipework for frost protection duties must be thermally lagged. However the thickness and type of lagging required will be defined by the heat-tracing used. HTS can provide the optimum heat tracing design and minimise your spend on thermal lagging.

Our system control products can be used to provide remote montoring of frost protection systems and integrate with BMS systems.
