Longline Heating

Industrial longline heating applications require long electrical circuit lengths, usually with a single electrical power point. Heating long pipelines for freeze protection, viscosity control, or temperature maintenance presents special requirements for electrical heat tracing. Tyco Thermal Controls provides a wide range of industry-proven solutions for these longline heating applications. Extreme longlines are usually transfer lines between processing plants or to storage or transportation facilities. Tank farms, piers for ocean transport vessels, and pipes between petrochemical facilities are all examples of applications for which longline heat tracing may be used. Even if a processing plant uses steam for in-plant heat tracing, electrical heat tracing may be beneficial for the transfer lines.

Longline tracing systems can be complex to design and install. For this reason Tyco Thermal Controls offers several technologies to choose from, thus providing the best cost optimization for your project. The technologies are:
