The Danfoss DEVISAFE 20T is a professional-grade outdoor heating cable engineered for effective snow and ice melting. With a power output of 2690W at 230V and a generous length of 135 meters, this cable provides comprehensive coverage for large outdoor areas. Its durable construction is specifically designed to withstand the rigors of winter environments, ensuring that surfaces remain clear and safe throughout the coldest months.
Advantages
This heating cable offers exceptional reliability due to its robust design, which is built to resist mechanical stress and environmental factors. By preventing the accumulation of snow and ice, it significantly reduces the need for manual clearing and the use of chemical de-icing agents. The system provides consistent heat distribution, which is essential for maintaining clear pathways and preventing hazardous conditions on driveways, stairs, and walkways.
Suitable for
- Driveways and parking areas
- Pedestrian walkways and sidewalks
- Outdoor staircases
- Ground-level ramps
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for indoor heating applications or for use in environments where the temperature exceeds the cable's thermal rating. It is also not suitable for installation in areas where it may be exposed to sharp objects or heavy machinery that could compromise the integrity of the cable insulation.
Key specifications
- Power output: 2690W
- Voltage: 230V
- Total length: 135 meters
- Application: Outdoor snow and ice melting
How to use
The installation of the Danfoss DEVISAFE 20T should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local building codes and manufacturer guidelines. The cable is typically embedded in sand, concrete, or asphalt, depending on the surface type. Proper spacing is critical to ensure uniform heat distribution across the entire area. Once installed, the system is usually connected to a dedicated thermostat or control unit that monitors ambient temperature and moisture levels to activate the heating only when necessary.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the total length of 135 meters is sufficient for your specific project area.
- Verify that your electrical supply can support the 2690W power requirement.
- Confirm the compatibility of your chosen control system or thermostat.
- Check local regulations regarding the installation of outdoor heating systems.
Usage recommendations
For optimal energy efficiency and performance, it is highly recommended to pair this heating cable with a dedicated snow and ice melting controller that activates the system only when conditions require it.
