Anti-frost protection Temperature Maintenance Heating
BARTEC control systems regulate and monitor trace heating to protect piping from frost damage and
to keep media flowing freely.
When selecting the right control system, the application features are decisive. However, in addition
to the main application areas of anti-frost protection, temperature maintenance and heating with their
respective very different requirements, other factors are important too:
 Energy efficiency
 Alarm and monitoring plan (temperature, current consumption, power etc.)
 Maintenance and repair possibilities
 Layout and position of the switchgear, availability of electrical power on site
