The principle used to build Combined-cycle Thermal Power Stations consists in an arrangement of heat engines working together from the same source of heat, turning it into mechanical energy that drives electrical generation.

Two thermodynamic cycles coexist in the same system (water vapor and gas).
HOW?
Its main application is using natural gas or diesel.
WHY A COMBINED-CYCLE THERMAL POWER STATION NEEDS ELECTRICAL HEAT-TRACING
A Combined-cycle Thermal Power Station needs freeze protection of fluids in pipes, purges, tanks, instrumentations and proportioning systems. Also, it has to prevent the condensation in piping caused by the gases used.
TRACELEC® SOLUTION
Electrical Heat-Tracing using parallel type heating cables (Self-regulating and/or Constant Power) and temperature control adapted to each process. All commanded by direct temperature and power control panels.
