Electric Heat Tracing Training

What is the E-Academy

The Heat Tracing E-Academy is a structured lesson format which allows students to progress through a well documented lessons covering various topics of heat tracing. Throughout their learning experience they will be presented with short test/exams to ensure that they are absorbing the information that has been presented to them.

The lessons can be taken at a students leisure and they will be supported by an on-line 'Professor' should they have any questions.

To be successful, a Student must read all of the Lesson content and pass the tests in the E-Academy to at least 85% success rate

When a Student passes this Lesson, they will be provided a certificate showing when they passed their Level 2 - Heat Tracing Design. Due to the advanced level of this Lesson, the Students are restricted at the amounts of times they can re-take tests/exams. Therefore it is highly recommended that they first Pass Level 1 - Heat Tracing Design

Level 2 - Advanced

Preface and Pre-requisites
This learning module has been aimed at electrical designers who already have a solid understanding of basic to intermediate heat tracing knowledge. Its aim is to expand on that knowledge and expand into some of the more advanced areas of heat tracing.

By the end of this learning module the designer will;

Understand all the various heat tracing technologies
Calculate stabilised heat tracing designs
Calculate heat losses from vessels, tanks and other equipment
Design underground heating
Calculate Raise and Maintain losses
Design road, pavement and stair heating
Long-line considerations
Design Long-line heating systems
Introduction to skin-effect heating systems
Look at complex control and monitoring systems

It is assumed before starting this module that the designer is already an experienced heat-tracing designer or has covered the beginners module followed by a period of practising the topics contained within that module.

Upon successful completion, the student will receive a certificate of competence for Design of EHT by the ETHIC council that they have sucessfully completed the courses to a Level 2 in Heat Tracing Design. This certificate is valid for 3 years, at which point the student should re-take the course.
