Sigmian has developed solutions based on electric heating cables to significantly improve the operational safety of machinery and equipment in harsh climatic conditions and provide protection against icing of aircraft infrastructure and ships.

Advantages
  • Prevention of icing of ship equipment at temperatures up to −60 °C
  • Reliable operation of components and assemblies of aircrafts at low temperatures
  • Uninterrupted operation of special equipment and fire systems
  • Safe movement of personnel on the evacuation routes of the vessel
  • Efficient and autonomous ice removal from helipads for safe landing and take-off of helicopters
  • Heaters can be manufactured in different sizes and power outputs
  • Our R&D-center designs custom-made solutions for your specific needs

Sigmian develops various heating systems depending on the required task.

In shipbuilding, electric heating panels are used to prevent ice formation on helipads, steps, ramps and escape routes. The main objective of electric heating systems for helipads, decks and open areas is to maintain a positive temperature on surfaces in the region of +3 or +5 °C.

Systems based on series-resistance and self-regulating heating cables ensure the safety of airport visitors: they can be installed on the roofs of buildings, on ramps and pedestrian zones. Electric heating is also used to protect pipelines from freezing.

We also have solutions for heating runways and have developed heaters for Sukhoi Superjet (slat drive heater, luggage lock heater).

Shchekinoazot Chemical Plant
Operating principle
  1. Section based on electric heating cables
  2. Power cable
  3. Junction box
  4. Power cable from the control cabinet

Heating of tanks & vessels is necessary to compensate heat losses occurring through its walls, supports, lid and base. The design capacity of tank heating system should be sufficient to compensate heat loss and maintain set temperature of the stored fluid. In 90 % of cases, a self-regulating cable is used, since it is resistant to overlaps and local overheating. We provide a full range of self-regulating cables and all the necessary components for its installation in hazardous and non-hazardous zones at oil & gas, chemical & petrochemical, pharmaceutical and other sites.

In chemically aggressive and corrosive environments with operating temperatures up to +800 ℃ metal outer jacket fiberglass-insulated cable MOIC-F is used.

Depending on the project, heating sections could be installed only in the lower part of the tank. In this case, the entire surface of the tank must be covered with thermal insulation. Each design is made individually.

For warming-up products stored in tanks, energy is required not only to compensate the heat loss, but also to heat the product itself. Therefore, it may be advisable to install industrial electric heaters inside the tank.

Our de-icing & snow-melting systems based on series-resistance and self-regulating heating cables protect buildings and outdoor areas from ice and snow buildup. Sigmian infrastructure de-icing systems are an energy-efficient solution to create safe urban space, extend service life of roofs and gutters and reduce roof and outdoor areas maintenance costs.

Advantages
  • Extended service life of infrastructure
  • Reduced cost of repairs and maintenance
  • Eliminated risk of injuries and fatal accidents due to slipping on ice / icicles falling
  • Protection against property damage
  • The system operates in an automatic mode
  • The heating cable has a service life (depending on the cable type) of at least 20 years
Operating principle
  • Heating cable
  • Temperature sensor
  • Working range control
  • Electronic temperature controller
  • Precipitation sensor — system activation
  • Automatic heating on and off

Our electric heating system for infrastructure de-icing includes heating cable, control system, power distribution system (power supply), accessories and fasteners.

We offer a wide range of heating cables for different tasks. Series-resistance heating cable has constant resistance over the entire length. Self-regulating cable is the most popular solution for heating of roofs and gutters. A unique feature of the self-regulating cable is its ability to automatically adjust the thermal output depending on weather conditions. These cables are easily cut into sections of any length on site, which makes them convenient to use.

Control system includes specially designed regulators, as well as temperature, precipitation and water sensors. The control system allows to implement several algorithms for operating the electric heating system and takes into account the purpose of the system, weather conditions, operating conditions and specific customer requirements.

Energy distribution system supplies power to the heating sections and includes power cables, junction boxes, metal or plastic pipes and boxes for laying electric cables and signal wires. We use best-in-class materials that meet international standards.

Fastening system includes fasteners with various materials and shapes. They securely fix the cable, don’t break and don’t change their properties from temperature extremes.

All elements of the heating systems are mounted in an invisible way and don’t spoil the design of the construction.

Process equipment such as level gauge, safety valves, air cocks, filters, flanges, impulse lines need to be heated to ensure their normal year-round operation. Due to complexity of the form, the most common solution for such objects is a system based on self-regulating heating cables. However, depending on the project series-resistant cables could be applied. For zones with high temperatures, we recommend metal-jacket cables of MOIC series.

Advantages
  • Ensures uninterrupted operation of process equipment in a wide temperature range — up to 800 °C
  • Automatically adjusts heat output based on surface temperature
  • Can be used in explosion hazardous areas
  • Easy to install
  • Self-regulating cables can be cut to required length on site
  • No complicated design calculations required
Operating principle
  1. Safety valve
  2. Fastening tape
  3. Heating section based on self-regulating heating cable

Sigmian provides the full range of self-regulating heating cables as well as ready-made design solutions for typical process equipment elements to simplify the installation.

The power of the heating section is set based on the calculation of heat loss, which is determined in the same way as the heat loss in pipelines. In some cases, modeling of thermal fields may be required, especially in cases where the level gauge window does not have thermal insulation.

Our self-regulating heating cables are used for freeze protection of process equipment in non-hazardous and ex-hazardous areas. The power output adjusts automatically in response to the ambient temperature.

Due to its self-regulating characteristics it will not overheat even when the cable is overlapped. This guarantees maximum safety and reliability. Installation of self-regulating heating cable is quick and simple and requires no special skills or tools.
