Assess heat tracing energy use

Heat According to Demand

Energy use follows heat losses and actual operating hours. Pro Therm assesses insulation, setpoints, controls and circuit structure together. We identify technically appropriate changes while preserving required freeze protection and process temperatures.

Review insulation and heat losses

Wet insulation, open transitions and uninsulated fittings increase demand. A control adjustment cannot remove these losses. We therefore assess the thermal condition before replacing heating equipment. Insulation material or thickness changes are coordinated with the heating system's temperature limits.

If insulation needs renewal or improvement as part of an optimisation project, we can offer this service with partner companies. The measure is coordinated with heating, sensor positions and accessible fittings. Its effect on energy use is assessed against the actual operating conditions.

Standards reference (checked 14 October 2026): ISO 12241:2022, adopted in Germany as DIN EN ISO 12241:2022-09, provides thermal-insulation calculation rules primarily for steady-state conditions. Heat-up assessment additionally considers stored energy and heat transfer over time.

Set temperatures from process requirements

An unnecessarily high setpoint can increase heat loss. The permissible value must nevertheless follow the fluid, process and protection function. Operating and shutdown phases may have different requirements. Changes are agreed with the operator rather than applied as a universal reduction across all circuits.

Assess measurement points and control strategy

Unsuitable sensor locations can cause excessive energised time or cold areas. We assess the measured temperature and whether it represents the circuit. Enable signals and alarms are also reviewed. The appropriate strategy follows the installation, not just the controller brand.

Standards reference (checked 14 October 2026): IEC/IEEE 62395-2:2024 addresses system design, installation, maintenance and repair outside hazardous areas. DIN EN 62395-2:2014-12 remains the current German national edition. Record the agreed edition in the project documentation.

Prioritise measures by benefit and effort

Small insulation repairs or setting corrections differ from circuit restructuring or controller replacement. We distinguish technical necessity, expected effect, investment and operational disruption. Savings are assessed only from traceable data; no fixed percentage is promised.

Compare results meaningfully

Before-and-after comparisons need comparable conditions. Colder weather or longer production hours can increase consumption despite an effective improvement. Measurements are therefore linked with temperature and operating time. Required freeze and process protection remain the deciding criteria.
