Application:
Manufacturing and industrial environments often include objects with unique shapes and sizes that need protection from cold weather. Items can be stand-alone or a component in a system. Examples of such items include transmitters (pressure, level, flow, etc.), pumps (direct lift, displacement, gravity, etc.), gauges, actuators, valves, and regulators. The unique shapes and sizes may make them difficult/ challenging to shield when designing freeze-protection products to protect them. If these items freeze and malfunction, that could lead to extended downtime and costly repairs.
Solution:
BriskHeat’s new WinterShield Freeze-Protection Heated Pockets will protect most of these items. They are highly durable “hood”-type covers that surround the objects with pockets of warm air to allow them to continue operating, even in the coldest environments. When installed around the object they are protecting, they are held in place with hook and lace closings, making them easy to remove and reinstall. They come in two sizes. The standard size is 6 x 6 x 7 in (152 x 152 x 186 mm) high and the large size is 14 x 20 x 26 in (360 x 510 x 660 mm) high. Any object that has dimensions within these parameters is a candidate and the flexible cloth construction provides versatility with fitting. The hook and lace closing also enables maneuverability to fit and cinch-close around obstructions like pipes, hoses, and stands/bases. They are suitable for use outdoors and have plug-and-play designs which include built-in 45°F (7°C) controlling thermostats, 16 ft (5 m) cords, and grounded plugs. They come standard in 120 or 240 VAC.
Additional Uses:
BriskHeat’s WinterShield Freeze-Protection Heated Pockets also provide the versatility to be used for other hard-to-protect objects. If the items fit within the dimensions of the heaters, and even sometimes slightly larger due to the cloth’s flexibility, they will be protected. Custom designs can be provided upon request.

Q: How do I control these freeze-protection heaters?
A: They come with a built-in 45°F (7°C) thermostats so there is no need for additional controllers. Just plug them in.
Q: How do they trap the warm air inside the pocket to keep the objects warm?
A: The heaters come with slit-openings on three-sides to allow them to slip over the protected objects. The openings are closed using a hook and lace system, much like a lacing a work boot. This allows flexibility to maneuver and close around obstructions like pipes, hoses, or bases/stands and create a tight barrier which traps the warm air inside the pocket.
Q: Will I need extension cords or plugs?
A: The heaters come with extra-long 16 ft (5 m) cords and weatherproof plugs to reduce the possibility of needing extra accessories.
Q: How many times can I remove and reuse them?
A: WinterShieldTM Freeze-Protection Pockets are made from rugged and durable components so they should last for years, removing and reusing repeatedly.
Q: How do I know there will be enough heat generated to keep my items warm?
A: BriskHeat Engineers have special software to accurately calculate required wattage, and they also add a safety factor to ensure there is enough wattage. If you have a question about your specific application, contact us for assistance.
Q: What if I want the maintenance temperature to be higher?
A: We can design a heater specifically for your application, contact us for more details.
