How to prevent pipes freezing in winter?
In suburban homes, where all communications often laid by the owners of the house, there are cases peremerzaniya pipes during freezing. Because of the low temperatures in the pipes are collected ice plugs which are able to completely block the lumen of the conduit.
Among the main reasons for freezing - small depth of pipes and poor insulation trenches. In order to solve the urgent problems experienced domovodtsy use the heating cable, which can be in the process of laying communications to reach him in the pipes, and in the already existing pipes.
Heating cable consists of the following components:
- thick copper conductor cross-section;
- conductive matrix (namely it is heated during the passage of electric current, and "heats" pipe space);
- internal insulation made of polymeric materials;
- copper braid cable;
- second outer insulation layer.
The principle of operation of the heating cable is to convert electrical energy into heat
The process of applying heating cable for heating the pipe is shown graphically in the following scheme.
