Glycol Heat Tracing for Water Submerged Piping
Glycol Heat Tracing for Water Submerged Piping
(OP)
I am finding it difficult to find a solution to my heat tracing problem. I need to trace a 4" steel pipe under water. The problem with ordinary electrical heat tracing is that it cannot be insulated under water. So I am thinking of a jacketed pipe with a glycol heat tracing system. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a good manufacturer of such a system?

As for jacketed pipe sources try:
Apex Piping, Bristol Metals, De Dietrich USA, Controls Southeast, Pfaudler Inc. Zink Corp.
Hope this helps.

I was thinking of jacketed (like pipe in pipe) with no leaks then a copper tubing inside with glycol circulated in it. If you still think there are going to be leaks outside of the pipe how can I insulate tracing under water?

Check with the manufacturers. They may have something on the shelf right up your alley.
