ABSTRACT:
A method of enhancing heat transfer between a heating or cooling element (such as a steam tracer heating line) and a conduit or vessel, comprising emplacing heat transfer material (such as a heat transfer cement) in a mouldable or plastic state between and in contact with the element and at least part of the adjacent surface of the conduit or vessel, and around and in contact with the element so that the element is surrounded by heat transfer material which contacts the element and applying a relatively rigid recessed retaining member such as a channel of "U" or "V"-shaped cross-section round the heat transfer material so that edges of the retaining member substantially abut the conduit or vessel and maintain coherence in the heat transfer material enclosed in the volume defined between the retaining member and the conduit or vessel and securing the retaining member and conduit or vessel relative to each other to maintain said coherence. Alternatively, the heat transfer element may be pressed towards the surface of the conduit or vessel into previously emplaced heat transfer material and any exposed surface of the element is surrounded by heat transfer material and the recessed retaining member applied round the heat transfer material with its edges against the conduit or vessel so that when the retaining member is secured relative to th conduit or vessel, heat transfer material is retained in good heat transfer relationship between the element and the conduit or vessel.
