SRF(s)

Small Geometry Self-Regulating Heating Cable for Freeze Protection


FINE SRF(s) Series for freeze protection generates heat by  a material of semi-conductor, showing a characteristic of  PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient).

PTC is characterized by the power output of heating  cable adjusted to compensate for variations in ambient  temperature. It produces more heat if the temperature drops and less  heat if the temperature rises.

SRF(s) Series is a self-regulating cable heater, working on  the PTC principle, requiring low electrical consumption.

SRF(s) Series is most suitable for protection of plumbs and  pipes from freezing in winter.

Thanks to the small geometry (micro size), SRF(s) Series  provides the solutioin for in-pipe application.

Product construction

Product construction

1.Copper bus wire
2.Self-regulating conductive core
3.Inner adhesive jacket.
4.Modified polyolefin jacket
5.Tinned-copper braid
6.Modified polyolefin outer jacket (-CR) → for on pipe  
Fluoropolymer outer jacket (-CT) → for on/in pipe

Long life time (semi-permanent)

SRF(s) Series is post-treated under elevated temperature in annealing process to give its stability in long-term operation without losing heat output.

Low energy consumption

The electrical consumption of SRF(s) Series is low due to its unique PTC property.

Excellent heat resistance

SRF(s) Series is treated by irradiation crosslinking reaction, providing the same level of thermosetting property as XLPE.

Cut to length

The heat generator of SRF(s) Series is composed of the infinite parallel connection of carbon particles, allowing it to be cut to the exact length required.
