How Ambient Temperature Affects Power Output
A. Cold Ambient = High Power Output
If the temperature in the immediate vicinity of the self-regulating heating cable is cold, the heat output from the heating cable is increased. The polymeric core of the cable contracts, which creates many electrical paths across the integrated carbon particles.
B. Warm Ambient = Low Power Output
In response to a warmer environment, the heat output of the self-regulating cable is reduced. The polymeric core of the cable expands, reducing the electrical paths.
C. Hot Ambient = Virtually No Output
If the temperature in the environment of the self-regulating heating cable reaches a high temperature, the heat output is minimal. Due to the maximum expansion of the polymeric core of the cable, most of the electrical paths are broken.
Diagram Description: A cross-section of the self-regulating heating cable is shown. The cable's core contains integrated carbon particles that form electrical paths. Label 'A' points to a state where the core is contracted, indicating cold ambient conditions and high power output. Label 'B' points to a state where the core is slightly expanded, indicating warmer ambient conditions and reduced power output. Label 'C' points to a state where the core is maximally expanded, indicating hot ambient conditions and minimal power output.
