Current heat trace technology utilizes a self-regulating polymer that controls the wattage of the element. When the ambient temperature drops, the polymer creates conductive pathways that allow current to flow and heat to be produced. When the ambient temperature increases, the conductive pathways begin to separate, allowing less current to pass.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3460″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1644998514966{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 70px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1521444155225{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
