Subject: ELECTRICAL HEAT TRACING SYSTEM FOR HFO PIPE

HEATING.

REFERENCE: YOUR EMAIL DATED NOVEMBER 7th 2017.

Dear
Sir,

We thank you for issuing us your above referred RFQ. Chromalox has pleasure in
submitting herewith techno commercial proposal for heat tracing system for the
subject Project.

We have offered our Chromalox brand heating cables together with co-branded
accessories based on the specification/parameters stipulated in the technical
specification of your RFQ. We have supplied these heating cables globally to
several Oil & Gas facilities that are reported to be performing to the entire
satisfaction of the users. You may be already aware that we are global leaders
in heating technologies with almost 100 year of experience

The advanced thermal solutions we offer are based on the most appropriate
technology for your application. We have a flexible approach to service
provision. We can assume full responsibility for a complete turnkey package – or
provide elements you need to interface with your own project resources.

We trust that you will find our proposal is meeting your requirement. However if
we can be of any further assistance or you wish to discuss anything in more
detail, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We look forward to work with you on this

project.

trace system allowing user to specify heat trace cable for applications
such as freeze protection & process temperature maintenance. Software
features include IEEE- complaint heat trace calculation for pipes and
tanks, a cable & accessory selection guide as well as control design
procedures.
 SYSTEM OFFERED

Electric Heat Tracing Cable:

We have offered Series Long Line cable based on design requirement /

temperature parameters/rating given for each line to be electric traced.
Data sheet of the offered heating cables are enclosed for your ready reference.
The heating cables offered are specially designed for heat tracing of pipelines in
highly demanding applications.

RELIABLE

Offered tracers are manufactured to provide long service life at full efficiency &
have been tested for thermal cycling stability in power ON condition to confirm
heat output over the life of the product.

The offered tracers are subjected to number of rigorous tests to ensure that it
meet all the design requirements & thus offering reliable operations.

ELECTRIC TRACING
CONNECTORS:

All electric heat tracing connection kits shall be suitable for use in both safe &
Hazardous areas. Offered connection kits are suitable for installation in safe
as well as hazardous area.
Quantity of all connectors are quoted in line to quantity provided for each
pipeline(s) to be electric traced. However, in case of any variation of the
same during engineering stage, same shall be charged extra.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

We have offered pipe surface sensing thermostat for temperature sensing

purpose, for control the thermostat shall be connected to the auxiliary contacts
of the contactor housed in the EHT panel.
