Complementing Your Complete Process Line Package

For the most reliable freeze protection or temperature maintenance of your process, rely on O'Brien's experience to help you design a system specifically for your unique needs. For peak system performance, we'll work with you to determine the best possible solution, which may include some of the following accessories to seal, control, power and install your bundles.


Sealing the Bundle

To prevent any possible moisture contamination and ensure optimum performance, all bundle ends must be sealed.

TPKJP.jpg (1822 bytes) TPKJP - Jacket Patch
  • Perfect for sealing a splice in the bundle.
  • Used for extending the insulation and weatherproof jacket if the if the bundle is cut back too far during installation.
  • Good for repairing any incidental field damage or capillary bulb installations.
  • Contains thermal insulation, fiberglass tape and a self-sealing patch.

Sensing and Controlling the Temperature

Used with electrically traced tubing bundles, thermostats control the temperature of the process tube or turn on the heater at a specific ambient temperature, ensuring an accurate, consistent process.

HC5.jpg (89721 bytes) Model HC5

The model HC5 is an economical on/off controller. The HC5 controller is well suited for Heated Hose or TRACEPAK non hazardous installations. Desired control temperature is set with a knob and scale marked in both °F and °C. The controller is equipped with power, heater on, and open heater indication. A local master power switch is located on the outside of the enclosure and a replaceable fuse is located on the front panel.  SPECIFICATIONS

Model HC10

The HC10 is a compact digital indicating controller with auto-tune PID features. The seven segment display can be set to normally indicate set point or actual temperature. Three discrete LED’s indicate operation. The HC10 provides a single temperature sensor input and dual outputs, which may be programmed for heat, cool, alarm or timer functions.

Installation

The following tools make installation of TRACEPAK tube bundles easier and more compact, saving you time and simplifying installation.

BENDER.jpg (1611 bytes) Bundle Bending Tool
Similar to a common electrical conduit bender, this tool is compact and easy to use. It eliminates the need for larger and heavier benders that have the required 8" minimum bending radius.
center.jpg (1521 bytes) 2 1/8" Centerline Tool
A replacement tool for standard tube bender, it brings the process tubes to the correct centerline for connecting to typical transmitters. This tool makes back-to-back bends easier, accomplishing the bends in a much shorter distance than possible with a standard tube bender.
