Nelson™ Heat Trace Type LT Domestic Hot Water Temperature Maintenance System
Nelson™ Heat Trace™ Type LT Domestic Hot Water Temperature Maintenance System
Nelson™ Heat Trace Type LT self-regulating heating cable is used in domestic hot water temperature maintenance systems.
It is an energy-efficient and economical alternative to common recirculation systems. The heating cable is used to maintain water temperature in the supply piping system, reducing or eliminating the delay in obtaining hot water at each fixture. This cable system eliminates the need for return piping, pumps, check valves and pressure balancing valves found in recirculating systems. In addition, maintenance requirements are greatly reduced through the elimination of all devices with moving parts connected to the recirculating portion of the hot water supply system.

Features

  • The standard product offering has been designed to maintain nominal domestic water temperatures of +105 °F, +115 °F, +125 °F and +140 °F. These representative hot water temperatures are in accordance with the ASHRAE Applications Handbook,
  • The heating cables are UL Listed for domestic hot water temperature maintenance and meet all requirements of IEEE Standard 515.1, Recommended Practice for the Testing, Design, Installation, and Maintenance of Electrical Resistance Heat Tracing for Commer
  • Type LT self-regulating heater cable is a parallel circuit electric heater strip. An irradiation cross-linked conductive polymer core material is extruded over the multi-stranded, tin-plated, 16-gauge copper bus wires. The conductive core material increa
  • Operating principle: the parallel bus wires apply voltage along the entire length of the heater cable. The conductive core provides an infinite number of parallel conductive paths permitting the cable to be cut to any length in the field with no dead or
