Electric heating cables are commonly used for pipe freeze protection in applications where maintaining the temperature of pipes is critical to prevent freezing. For example, in cold weather, the outdoor pipes like water supply pipes or sprinkler lines in areas prone to freezing, AntWarm pipe guard is designed for this application, which includes self-regulating pipe guard heating cables (ASPG) and constant wattage pipe guard heating cables (ATPG). Both of them are approved by CE, UKCA, EAC, CSA and have been exported to over 20 countries all over world.
Besides outdoor pipes, AntWarm pipe guard heating cables can also be used for pipes in factories, refineries, or chemical plants that carry liquids or gases susceptible to freezing. In these scenarios it requires the liquid in a certain temperature where they can keep the Viscosity.
Usually, users can install a thermostat to control the temperature in order to achieve the energy-saving purpose. AntWarm pipe guard offers a build-in sensor which will ensure thermostats can work well.
Electric heating cables are a reliable and effective solution for freeze protection, especially in areas where maintaining fluid flow and preventing damage from frozen pipes is critical. It has many benefits including energy efficient. Especially with self-regulating cables, the system adjusts heat based on need, preventing overuse of energy. Also, it can prevent burst pipes. By keeping pipes from freezing, it significantly reduces the risk of pipes cracking or bursting due to pressure buildup from ice. What’s more, it is very easy to install by DIY. It Can be retrofitted onto existing systems and is flexible, making it adaptable to different pipe sizes and layouts. More importantly, it requires very low maintenance. Once installed, they can last for many years with very minimal maintenance if installed properly.
