Outdoor applications
Our unique outdoor infrared heating ribbon is established in many projects Worldwide. The efficiency of the outdoor system means that operating costs can be a fraction of alternative systems.
Applications include:
* Roads & bridges
* Sports stadia (live or artificial turf)
* Plant & crop cultivation
* Logistics centres
* Driveways & car parks
* Train/tram/metro platforms
* Roofs
There are two outdoor products:
* Outdoor underground heating ribbons
* Pipes/gutter Freeze Protection/Heat Trace ribbon
These products are based on a fully grounded flat amorphous metallic ribbon within a robust yet flexible enclosure designed to meet IEEE 515.1 standard for underground and outdoor exposed applications.
Performance
The heating element uses different widths of amorphous ribbon combined with different element length to achieve the required output power per linear metre. The heating element can accommodate various power voltage sources, AC or DC: 110-120, 220-240, 400 and 600 Volts. Low voltage usage is also possible. The maximum working temperature of the element is 70°C.
Coverage
Heating ribbons are designed to cover approximately 20% of the heated area but may range from 15% to 30%.
Electrical capacity
Input power of each heating element may range from 250 - 500 watts/m2. Higher input can be achieved by reducing the spacing between parallel heating elements.

Infrared panels
Amorphous technology is also available as a plug-and-play infrared heating panels. These panels come in a variety of sizes and deliver a warm and comfortable environment quickly and efficiently - and at a fraction of the electrical input of other heating panels. In addition, the panels generate negative ions, providing a dust-free and anti-bacterial effect, thus improving air quality. At 2.1 centimetres thick, the panels are supplied off-white in colour but can also be supplied with an image or photograph as required.
