There are two main purposes for using DEVI pipe heating systems:
- frost protection of pipes
- maintenance of the required temperature in pipes
Frost protection systems are installed where there is need to prevent water and sanitary pipes from becoming frozen or being damaged by ice.
These systems are especially used in cases where waterpipes are poorly – or perhaps even un-insulated. This can be the case in older houses with waterpipes in walls or on roofs or it can be the case as regards outside pipes which cannot be buried in frost free dept.
Temperature maintenance systems are installed to ensure that hot water or fluid pipes maintain the required temperature.
