electric(al) tracing


Explanation:
In electrical tracing, an electrical heating cable is fastened to the underside of the pipe, beneath the insulation. The heat generated by the cable offsets the heat loss of the pipe so the pipe and water it contains are kept above freezing.

Ever since electric tracing emerged as a viable means of heat tracing in the early 1960s, there has been an ongoing debate concerning steam versus electric tracing and which method provides the most cost-effective and energy-efficient system for heating plant piping systems.
