Radiant Heat for the Car Wash Industry?

homes as an alternative to costly forced air systems. Radiant heat is typically
installed under the floor and designed to transfer its heat through the floor's
surface, taking the bite out of cold flooring such as tile and marble. Now, the same concept
for interior radiant heating is also being applied to outdoor applications - such as car wash bays -
as an effective means to remove snow and ice from exterior surfaces. |

Automated Heated Driveway and Snow Melting System Controls
Electric snow melting systems utilize three components: the heating element (cable), a contactor panel,
and the snow sensor or activation device (either an aerial-mount or pavement-mount sensor). Radiant
heated driveways using a pavement-mount snow sensor utilize a compact master control unit (6 by 3.5-inches)
that is typically mounted on a wall in the garage. This advanced controller offered by Warmzone features
an easy-to-use interface, and includes a manual timer in case you choose to pre-heat an area before a
large storm or melt a snow drift or ice afterwards that has formed as a result of wind or shade, etc. |
