Design & Selection Guide

 




1. Application Optimum water temperature maintenance for single family houses, flats,
offices, hotels, hospitals, convalescent homes, sports centres, ...


Heating cable type HWAT-L HWAT-M HWAT-R

Maintenance temperature typically 45°C typically 55°C variable 50-70°C

Max. exposure temperature 65°C 65°C 80°C

Outer jacket colour yellow orange red

Control unit HWAT-ECO - compatible essential

Timer QWT-04 recommended - -

Legionella prevention Possibility of thermal legionella prevention up to the drawoff points

2. Composition of the HWAT-L/R/M heating cable
1. Copper conductor (1.2 mm²)
2. Self-regulating heat element
3. Insulation made of modified polyolefin
4. Aluminium laminated wrap
5. Protective tinned copper braid
6. Protective jacket made of modified polyolefin

Technical data: see page 55

3. Heating Cable length
• The heating cable is installed in a straight line on the pipework
• The heating cable can be traced right up to the drawoff points

Total length of pipe to be traced
+ approx. 0.3 m per connection
+ approx. 1.0 m per T-connection
+ approx. 1.2 m per 4-way connection

= required heating cable length

4. Insulation thicknesses
Pipe size (mm) 15 22 28 35 42 54

Insulation thickness (mm) 20 20 25 30 40 50

Ambient temperature: 18°C
Thermal conductivity ? = 0.035 W/(m_K)
For other thermal conductivity insulation materials, contact your Tyco Thermal Controls representative.

5. Electrical protection
The total length of heating cable determines the number and size of the circuit breakers
Residual current device (rcd): 30 mA required
Power line for the heating cables according to local regulations
The power connection must be carried out by an approved electrical installer

Circuit-breaker to BSEN 60898 (type C): the maximum length of the heating circuit is based on a minimum start-up temperature of +12°C, 230 VAC.
