Develop projects featuring heat tracing systems. Create unique designs by either using various templates for quick editing or make new ones from scratch with standard and imported components. Work with popular brands such as Raychem, Tracer, and Pyrotenax.
TraceCalc Pro is a Windows desktop heat-tracing system design software. It provides a user-friendly interface that guides you through a step-by-step process to obtain the best heat-tracing solution for your particular project utilizing world-class brands such as Raychem, Tracer, and Pyrotenax. Also, the program provides you with important heat-tracing system design data such as: pipe heat loss, number of circuits, electrical loads, maximum sheath temperatures, etc., while providing automated heating cable and component selection solutions.
v2.9 [Apr 13, 2017]
- A new lighted end seal for self-regulating and power-limiting heating cables has been introduced for the European and Asian (IEC) markets, type Raychem E-100-L-E. The new product is fully compatible with applications using previous versions.
- A new electronic line sensing thermostat, the Raychem ETS-05, has been introduced for the North American (NEC, CEC) market.
- The nominal sheath temperature algorithm was changed to include the maximum operating temperature as the reference for the sheath temperature calculation, if this is above the maximum controlled temperature, in cases where the circuit is not line-sensed.
- The contact temperature algorithm to validate heaters on plastic pipes was changed to include the maximum operating temperature as the reference for the contact temperature calculation if this is above the maximum controlled temperature, if the circuit is not line-sensed.
- The option to force the trace ratio of a serial connection of single conductor cable sets is now available to users having the option to design with series heating cables.
- The option to override the forced trace ratio on child segments is now available to all users.
- For Raychem mineral insulated (MI) heating units for the North American (NEC, CEC) market, the reverse gland option has been removed.
- TraceCalc Pro has been updated to require control systems using control limited design in Class I Division 1 and Zone 1 to have a high temperature limiter.
- “Multiple circuits created” is now an informational message rather than a warning.
