LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
nVent Electric plc (NYSE:NVT) (“nVent”), a global leader in electrical
connection and protection solutions, continues its pioneering
development of winterization products with the launch of the nVent
RAYCHEM ArcticStep. An energy efficient, modular panel system, the
ArcticStep provides reliable ice protection for offshore platforms,
vessel walkways and deck surfaces in the oil & gas and marine industries.
Fitted with industry-leading nVent RAYCHEM self-regulating heat-tracing
cables, the ArcticStep’s unique hybrid structure is designed to minimize
heat loss and energy consumption. In addition, its lightweight
construction allows for fast and easy installation, reducing fitting
time and overall installation costs. The result is an energy efficient
anti-icing and de-icing system that helps to reduce operating costs.
Tailored to provide safe and reliable ice protection in harsh corrosive
environments, the system features a robust metallic plate and
fiber-reinforced polymer supports, as well as delivering galvanic and
thermal insulation from the deck surface, to ensure system longevity.
Integrated cable channels also protect power supply cables from
sustaining mechanical damage, and a protective anti-slip coating helps
prevent slips and falls.
The ArcticStep system is designed, tested and approved for use in
hazardous areas and is fully compliant with the latest international
standards. These include: DNVGL-OS-A201 and DNVGL-RU-SHIP Pt.6 Ch.6 for
use in Winterized Basic, Cold and Polar conditions.
“Since the early 1980s, nVent has pioneered engineering design, supply
and installation practices for equipment and surface anti-icing,
de-icing and frost prevention on cold climate offshore rigs, platforms
and vessels,” said Koen Verleyen, Marketing manager EMEAI for nVent.
“Our recent development of more effective thermal modelling methods has
led to the creation of ArcticStep: a dedicated ice protection solution
for oil & gas and marine applications. We look forward to providing our
offshore customers with long-lasting, cost-effective anti-icing and
de-icing protection with this latest innovation.”
