Heat Trace System Audit Includes:

  • Visual inspection of the insulation, heat tracing components, control panels, other controls, and cable.
  • Electrical testing of the heat tracing system.
  • Inspection of the control system process, set points, temperature, circuit current and voltage, ground fault status, etc.
  • Minor troubleshooting to determine if components can be repaired.
  • Detailed evaluation of the systems and recommended corrective actions upon completion of the inspection.

OUR HEAT TRACING AUDIT PROCESS

We collaborate with customers to assess their heat tracing systems, ensuring they meet operational requirements and surpass expectations. Our audit services entail conducting performance and efficiency audits on existing heat tracing systems.

During our heat trace system audit, our technicians visually inspect the system’s insulation, heat tracing components, control panels, and other controls. We conduct electrical testing and inspect the heat tracing system’s components and cable. We also review the control system’s process set points and temperature, circuit current and voltage, and ground fault status, among other aspects. Additionally, we perform minor troubleshooting to determine if a circuit can be recovered without additional repair work.

Upon completion of the inspection, testing, and troubleshooting, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of the systems and recommend corrective actions. Customers receive a detailed report highlighting the system’s current state and presenting optimization options and system upgrades to enhance overall performance.
