TubeTrace® Type SEI/MEI – HTX – Thermon

Description

This is an electrically heated and insulated tubing bundle designed for the freeze protection of high-temperature instrument and sample lines that require the ability to withstand extreme, continuous heat exposure. It is capable of providing a low freeze-protection temperature (like 5°C / 40°F) while continuously withstanding process exposure temperatures up to 593°C (1100°F), making it suitable for superheated steam service. Like the HT type, it uses a thermally isolated, cut-to-length HPT power-limiting heat trace to shield the electric heater from the extreme temperatures of the process line. This isolated design is crucial for enabling the heat trace to function reliably in severe environments where conventional heat trace would fail.

Features

• Extreme Continuous Exposure: Rated to withstand continuous process exposure temperatures up to 593°C (1100°F).
• Application: Provides freeze protection (maintaining 5°C / 40°F) for instrument and sample lines in environments with superheated steam.
• Heat Trace Isolation: Uses an isolated parallel resistance HPT power-limiting heat trace to protect the heater from the high process temperatures.
• Installation: “Cut-to-length” for simplified field fabrication and reduced installation time and waste.
• Safety: Features “Touch Safe” jackets to reduce personnel burn risk.
• Types: Available as SEI (Single Electrical Isolated) or MEI (Multiple Electrical Isolated).
