Frost Thermostat Protection of Water Pipes

As winters in the UK become more extreme, the freezing of water and boiler condensate pipes becomes a major problem.

Just when you most need it, the boiler stops working due to the boiler condensate freezing in the outlet pipe. Also water pipes (especially in insulated loft-spaces or garages) can freeze causing untold damage if the pipes spilt.

These issues can be permanently solved using a suitable trace heater assembly fitted with an integral and very reliable “MQT” frost thermostat. Matsuo MQT frost thermostats are simple to integrate and give 10 times the life of conventional disc thermostats.

MQTs can be calibrated as low as -10°C and the differential (hysteresis) can be as small as 3K. Thus the MQT thermostat provides long-term accurate frost protection and minimises energy consumption.

Plan ahead! Call today for your free samples and application advice.

Other Press Releases from ATC Semitec

09/6/2017 - Which Temperature Sensor Fits Best? ATC Semitec have recently launched a sample case which features their most popular NTC Thermistors. Visual and tactile − engineers can quickly identify the best mechanical fit before considering temperature ranges, accuracy level, speed of response etc.
13/2/2015 - New Small Body 15A Rated Thermal Fuses NEC’s new SEFUSE SF-R series thermal fuses are 1/3 smaller in volume than conventional pellet-type thermal fuses.
12/12/2014 - New Small Body 15A Rated Thermal Fuses NEC’s new SEFUSE SF-R series thermal fuses are 1/3 smaller in volume than conventional pellet-type thermal fuses. Just 4mm dia. x 8.5mm long, they can still carry the same 15A/250VAC load but can respond up to 15% faster to over-temperature conditions. Thus they offer even greater thermal protection against electrical faults and fires.
12/12/2014 - Boiler Temperature Sensors ATC Semitec have now added a series of temperature sensors for use in gas boilers and electric heating appliances to their wide range of temperature probes. These sensors are also suitable for a variety of temperature sensing applications where a neat, cost-effective solution is required.
12/12/2014 - Competitive Disc Thermostats ATC Semitec’s latest franchise Asahi Keiki offers an extensive range of disc thermostats with Japanese level quality at very competitive pricing.
