• Frost protection to the external roof BCWS pipework, 660m of FBT self regulating heating tape.

• Temperature maintenance of the BHWS pipework in Camden Library, 28m of H2OWAT heating tape.

• Freeze protection to the sprinkler pipework within the basement, 200m of VC constant wattage heating tape.

• Temperature maintenance of the domestic hot water supplies, tea point pipework on each floor, 200m of H2OWAT heating tape.

Solvay Ltd, Oldbury

For this international chemical group, ESH supplied and installed 240 volt trace heating cable for the temperature maintenance of stainless steel pipework containing formaldehyde, part of the system originally installed by ESH. Type VCBOJ constant wattage heating cable was used to meet the temperature requirements.

* Type VCB Constant Wattage Cable *

Amtico International Head Office, Coventry

Here ESH supplied and installed at trace heating system to stainless steel pipework containing Placticiser to maintain the temperature at +25°C. In total there was 20m of external and 190m of internal flow and return pipework which required heat tracing. 

The Brockmoor Foundry Ltd - Brierley Hill

Supplied and installed trace heating to provide temperature maintenance of a duct associated with a Schenk Sand Cooler. The duct was of steel construction measuring approximately 3.5m x 600mm diameter and needed to be maintained at a temperature of +60°C to +70°C.

Waste Disposal Plant, Swindon

ESH supplied and installed over 250 metres of type VC constant wattage heating tape in order to temperature maintain a large hooper, filter, feeds and valve at +70°C.
