Abstract

Disclosed is a pipe heater comprising a tubular heat insulating layer having a pair of separating surfaces formed over the entire length thereof, an external cover bonded to the outer surface of the heat insulating layer to enclose the heat insulating layer, a heating layer provided inside the heat insulating layer and including a heating wire therein, and an internal cover provided inside the heating layer to enclose the heating layer, wherein the heat insulating layer includes a polyimide foam layer formed of polyimide foam, and a protection layer is interposed between the heat insulating layer and the heating wire to prevent bubbles distributed in the polyimide foam layer from dissipating due to heat transferred from the heating wire.
