In February 2021, The Texas Tribune reported that power generating companies failed to understand critical failure points that could cause equipment to stop working in cold weather – a mistake that affected 4.5 million homes and businesses.
The headline read, “How Texas Repeatedly Failed to Protect its Power Grid”. This failure resulted in an estimated cost of over $195 billion.
A complete freeze protection solution installed on your equipment can prevent similar costly problems. Thermon Heat Trace systems offer exceptional performance, weather-resistant features, and reliable performance in even the most extreme weather conditions.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Heat Trace Features
Thermon manufactures the widest variety of electric heating cables and control systems in the world. These cables are made to withstand extreme weather conditions and provide reliable heat tracing to prevent freezing in power generation plants. In addition to industrial heat trace cables and controllers, Thermon offers insulated tubing bundles, steam trace, hazardous area heaters (both electric and catalytic), custom CEMS bundles, and commercial snow melt solutions.
