Checking if a heat cable (also called heat tape) is working properly is important to prevent freezing pipes or roof ice dams. Here’s how to verify its functionality:

 

1. Visual Inspection

• Check for physical damage (cracks, frayed wires, or burnt spots).

• Look for indicator lights (some heat cables have a small light showing power is on).

2. Touch Test

• For pipes: Feel along the cable (carefully—it shouldn’t be scalding hot). It should be warm to the touch.

• For roofs/gutters: Check if ice is melting where the cable is installed (after it’s been on for a while).

3. Use a Non-Contact Voltage Tester (For Plug-In Cables)

• Turn on the heat cable and hold the tester near the cord or outlet—it should detect voltage if power is flowing.

4. Check with a Multi-meter (For Hardwired or Suspected Faulty Cables)

• Unplug the cable and set the multi-meter to measure resistance (Ohms Ω).

• Touch the probes to the prongs of the plug (for plug-in cables) or the ends of the wires.

  • No reading (infinite resistance) = Broken circuit (cable is dead).

  • Low resistance (e.g., 10–100 Ω) = Likely working.

  • Zero resistance (short circuit) = Faulty.

5. Monitor Temperature with an IR Thermometer

• Point an infrared thermometer at the cable—it should read warmer than the surrounding area.

6. Check the Thermostat (If Applicable)

• Some heat cables have built-in thermostats that only activate below freezing (~38°F or 3°C). Test by cooling the thermostat (e.g., with an ice pack) to see if the cable warms up.

7. Test the GFCI Outlet (If Plugged In)

• Press the "Test" button on the GFCI outlet to ensure it trips, then reset it. If it won’t reset, the cable may have a short.

8. Look for Ice Buildup (For Roof/Gutter Cables)

• If installed on a roof or gutter, the cable should prevent ice dams. If ice persists, the cable may be faulty or poorly installed.

Safety Tips:

• Always unplug the cable before inspecting for damage.

• Never wrap heat cables over themselves—this can cause overheating.

• Replace old or damaged heat cables—they can be a fire hazard.

 

If you’re unsure, consult an electrician or the manufacturer’s guidelines. Let me know if you need help troubleshooting a specific type of heat cable!

 

Roof heating cables, also known as heat tapes or de-icing cables, typically reach temperatures between 100°F to 150°F (38°C to 65°C) when operating. The exact temperature depends on the type and brand of the cable, as well as the specific application (e.g., for gutters, downspouts, or roof edges).

 

• Self-regulating heating cables: These adjust their heat output based on the surrounding temperature. They generally stay in the lower range (around 100°F to 120°F) and are safer because they reduce the risk of overheating.

• Constant-wattage heating cables: These maintain a consistent temperature and can get hotter, often reaching up to 150°F or more. They require careful installation to avoid overheating or damage to roofing materials.

 

The goal of these cables is to melt ice and snow, not to get excessively hot. Proper installation and use are critical to ensure safety and effectiveness. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid fire hazards or damage to your roof.

 

Key Considerations for Roof Heating Cables:

1. Purpose:

   • Roof heating cables are designed to prevent ice dams, which form when snow melts and refreezes at the edge of a roof. Ice dams can cause water to back up under shingles, leading to leaks and damage.

   • They are also used to keep gutters and downspouts clear of ice blockages.

2. Installation:

   • Cables should be installed in a zigzag pattern along the roof's edge, in gutters, and downspouts to ensure proper coverage.

   • Avoid overlapping the cables, as this can cause overheating.

   • Use clips or brackets designed for roof heating cables to secure them in place without damaging the roof.

3. Energy Efficiency:

   • Self-regulating cables are more energy-efficient because they adjust their heat output based on temperature. They consume less power when it's warmer and more when it's colder.

   • Constant-wattage cables use a consistent amount of energy regardless of conditions, which can lead to higher energy costs.

4. Safety:

   • Ensure the cables are rated for outdoor use and are specifically designed for roofs and gutters.

   • Use a ground-fault circuit interrupter outlet to reduce the risk of electrical hazards.

   • Regularly inspect the cables for damage, such as fraying or exposed wires, and replace them if necessary.

5. Maintenance:

   • Remove debris like leaves and branches from the roof and gutters to prevent blockages and ensure the cables work effectively.

   • Check the cables before winter to ensure they are functioning properly.

6. Temperature Control:

   • Some systems come with thermostats or sensors to automatically turn the cables on when temperatures drop below freezing and off when they rise above freezing. This helps save energy and prevents unnecessary operation.

7. Limitations:

   • Heating cables are not a permanent solution to ice dam problems. Addressing underlying issues, such as poor insulation or ventilation in the attic, is essential for long-term prevention.

By using roof heating cables correctly and maintaining them properly, you can effectively manage ice dams and protect your roof from winter damage. Always consult a professional if you're unsure about installation or maintenance. info@jhheat.com

As the name implies, booster pumps and circulating pumps have different performances . They have their own characteristics for obvious differences in terms of installation location, scope of application, operation and control.



From the perspective of installation location, the booster pump is generally installed on the inlet pipe; the circulating pump needs to be installed on the return pipe.



From the point of view of the scope of application, booster pumps are generally used in central heating systems, where the water pressure is small due to the small drop with solar energy, and the water pressure of the water heater is small, and the pressure needs to be boosted; the circulating pump is mainly for self-heating users, or the heating system of large and medium-sized households circulates, and the floor heating hot water is circulated.



From the perspective of boosting strength, booster pumps mainly solve the problem of lower water pressure, which is a type of pump with lower pressure; and the circulating pump has a higher pressure than the booster pump, which can drive the circulation of the entire heating system.



From the perspective of product operation, the booster pump is mostly automatically controlled; the circulating pump is mostly manually controlled.

 

Shinhoo, a company specializing in the manufacturing of canned pumps, launched a new upgrade of cooling and heating dual-purpose high efficiency circulation pumps (GPA-H series) --- 11H, 17H, which can be easily installed and operated.

11H, 17H are equipped with Self Adapting mode AUTO(default setting). Pump runs once the power is connected and adapts its perfomance according to the actual system needs. At the same time, the exterior of the electric pump has a digital pulse-width modulation (PWM) function to control the motor speed to meet the different flow requirement of the various system. 

The running noise of the electric pump is as low as 42dB(A), bringing a new comfortable experience to your family. The electric pump comes with over-voltage and over-current protection to prevent the danger of burning out during use. The minimum energy consumption can reach 5W, and the EEI≤0.20-Part3 meets the requirements of the latest ERP2015, allowing you to use it with a low-carbon lifestyle and feel at ease.

In order to provide better support for the development of energy-saving pumps, Shinhoo is actively promoting the new factory project, which is expected to be completed in 2024, with an annual production capacity of 5 million units.

Shinhoo's newly developed GPA III Pro series products are quiet and comfortable, energy-saving and power-saving. Compared with ordinary wall-hung boiler pumps, it can save about 60% of electricity. It is worth mentioning that the Shinhoo water pump has developed a flow feedback function based on the existing power feedback. The wall-hung boiler can better ensure accurate heat balance calculation through the flow information fed back by the water pump.
