Publication number: 20220266504Abstract: A method of installing a heat shrink cover around a component includes providing an electrical heating system having an electrical heating unit and an electronic control unit connected to the electrical heating unit. The method includes attaching the electrical heating unit to an outer surface of the heat shrink cover, arranging the heat shrink cover around the component, retrieving a set-up parameter of the heat-shrink cover and/or the component, generating a set-up value indicative of the set-up parameter, and energizing the electrical heating unit to provide heat for heat-recovering the heat shrink cover. The energizing step is performed in response to the set-up value.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Applicant: Tyco Electronics Raychem GmbHInventors: Thilo Simonsohn, Christian Heindl
