Frost protection for water storage

Protect your water storage from frost: your tanks, vats, flexible bags, IBc can be protected from the extreme cold by various devices.

Of course, you need to know the minimum temperature (between -15 and -25°C at altitude) and the surface area of the storage tank to be protected from frost.  Then, after a study, you can determine the thermal losses (heat losses known as thermal flows (convection on the surface, on the sides and under the cables) with a guaranteed result.

Different systems are available: internal or external cable or insulating frost protection cover – also for rainwater collection systems (heating cables for gutters).

  • Self-regulating heating cables provide protection against frost and maintain low, medium or high temperatures (they consist of a semi-conductive matrix inserted between two conductors, to which an electrical voltage is applied). The heat output is independent of the length of the cable, which saves energy.
  • Applications: Keeping drains, pipes, tanks and containers frost-free, clearing snow and ice from gutters and downpipes, clearing snow from outdoor surfaces, access ramps, sports fields, pavements, etc.
