Raychem TraceTek Leak Detection Applications

Leak Detection for Commercial Buildings

Water is everywhere in a commercial building, and that’s fine, as long as it stays where it belongs, in the heating, cooling, air-conditioning, vending, surface water, sewerage and plumbing systems! Just a small failure in any of these can create a staggering amount of damage and disruption – particularly if the leak goes unnoticed for any length of time. TraceTek leak detection systems can detect and pinpoint the source of a leak to help you take decisive action long before the problem turns into a disaster. Whether your concern is raised floor computer facilities, control rooms, operating theaters, telecommunications equipment, archival storage or a trading room, we have market-leading technologies and configurations to fit your needs.

With a TraceTek system you can detect an unseen leak and locate it to the nearest foot with better than 0.1% precision.

Flexible to Fit Any Application

As modern commercial environments have grown in complexity, the TraceTek system has evolved with design and integration flexibility. This means that systems can expand with the premises, integrate fully with BMS and be tailored precisely to your needs. This genuine design flexibility means that TraceTek sensing systems are applicable almost anywhere. That’s why tens of thousands of our systems have been installed around the globe, to deal with an enormous variety of detection needs.

Industrial / Environmental Leak Detection

If your business involves the transportation, storage, processing or consumption of hazardous fluids, the possibility of a leak or spill has to be considered. TraceTek leak detection systems can detect and pinpoint the source of a leak to help you take decisive action long before the spill can do major damage. Whether your concern is gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, crude oil, acids, bases, contaminated water or any other hazardous liquid, we can provide a leak detection system tailored to your needs.

With a TraceTek system you can detect a leak while contaminated soil is still measured in a few cubic metres rather than truckloads. Tens of thousands of our systems have been installed over the years in a variety of leak detection applications, from the monitoring of hazardous fluid to leak detection for fuel storage and transportation systems. The versatility of the TraceTek technology lends itself to customised designs that detect and locate liquid leaks and spills before damage to equipment or the environment becomes significant.

Raychem Heat Tracing Applications

XL-Trace
The XL-Trace system provides freeze protection and flow maintenance of pipes in commercial applications. Typical applications include; buried pipes, cooling tower lines, sprinkler systems, fire standpipe and drain pipes, exposed plumbing systems, and metal and plastic pipes.

ElectroMelt
Electromelt self-regulating heating cables are specifically designed for direct burial in concrete. The actual heating cables are protected by a copper braid and encased in a 55-mil modified polyolefin outer jacket. With no exposed metal parts to corrode, no cold leads to fail, and no burnout due to overlaps or hot spots, rugged ElectroMelt heating cable offers the best solution for all types of concrete pavement snow-melting and anti-icing applications.

IceStop
The IceStop system provides de-icing on roofs, in gutters, and in downspouts made from all types of standard roof/gutter materials, including metal, plastic, wood, shake, shingle, composite, and tar. The IceStop family is part of Raychem’s line of self-regulating heating cables.

HWAT
HWAT self-regulating heating cable by Raychem is installed on domestic hot water supply pipes underneath standard pipe insulation. The cable adjusts its power output to compensate for variations in water temperature and ambient temperature. It produces more heat if the temperature drops and less if the temperature rises. The heating cable replaces supply-pipe heat losses at the point where the heat loss occurs, thereby providing continuous, energy-efficient, hot water temperature maintenance and eliminating the need for a recirculation system.

RaySol
The RaySol floor heating system is designed for heat-loss replacement, freezer frost heave prevention and floor warming for concrete, tile or marble. Because it uses a Raychem self-regulating cable, a RaySol system will supply the right heat only where and when it is needed. The radiant heat provided by the RaySol heating cable allows you to feel comfortable at lower air temperatures, resulting in lower heating costs.

QuickNet
When your feet feel warm, your entire body feels warm. With QuickNet electric floor warming system, you are sure to feel more comfortable. Simply install the QuickNet heating cable between the ceramic tile or natural stone and the sub floor and let the comfort begin.
