Anyone with in-situ experience with Skin Effect Heat Tracing?

Anyone with in-situ experience with Skin Effect Heat Tracing?

(OP)
We are investigating the pros and cons of Skin Effect Heat Tracing. Are there any forum members that have in-situ experience with this method of heat tracing? and if so what are the key strengths and weaknesses of their system.
 

RE: Anyone with in-situ experience with Skin Effect Heat Tracing?

We have quite a bit of the ThermTrac system from Thermon installed for keeping transfer lines from getting below 45F.
I couldn't recall any problems with the system, but to make sure I made call to operations about the system. I had to to enlighten the operations area about the system, to which they stated that there hasn't been any problems in the last 3 years.

My last dealings with Thermon went very well.
