Skin-Effect Heating Systems
An optimal solution for heating extra long pipelines
Skin-effect heating systems are reliable and efficient solutions for pipelines of any length designed for aboveground, buried, subsea, and downhole application in safe and hazardous areas.
Features
- Stable heat transfer at any point of the heated surface
- Reduced thermal aging of insulation
- Stable system functioning due to the cable channel acting as a heating element with a 100% contact with the heated surface
- Easy to control system parameters as only one cable / cable channel is required
- Easy to maintain due to the serviceable connections
15 000+ Industrial Heat Tracing Projects are Designed and Successfully Implemented by SST Group
