Heating-Cable Technology
At low temperature, there are many conducting paths, resulting in
high output and rapid pavement heat-up. Heat is generated only
when it is needed and precisely where it is needed.
At moderate temperature, there are fewer conducting paths
because the heating cable efficiently adjusts to weather conditions
by decreasing output-eliminating any possibility of concrete over-
heating.
At high temperature, there are fewer conducting paths and output is
correspondingly lower-conserving energy during operation.
