Wrapped hose heater assembly with hot pocket configuration

A wrapped heating assembly that may be wrapped around a tubular member for heating the tubular member, the wrapped heating assembly comprising:

• an outer insulation sleeve;
• a pocketed heating system that is fixed to an inner surface of the outer insulation sleeve in a manner that forms one or more longitudinal pockets that extend between a first end of the outer insulation sleeve and a second end of the outer insulation sleeve opposite from the first end;
• and
• one or more heater strips, with each one of the heater strips being respectively inserted longitudinally into a corresponding one of the pockets, wherein heat is generated by the heater strips when electrical current flows through the heater strips;
• wherein the outer insulation sleeve is made of a carbon fiber material.
