Benefits of Electric Road Heating System
Road heating system by means of electricity has taken its place among the systems that have started to be used frequently in cold regions in recent years. The system, which appears as a solution especially in regions with heavy snowfall and icing, is also used in ramp and garage entrance heating as well as road heating. The system evaluates the wetness and coldness level of the installed surface, operates the ice detector and performs the heating action.
Benefits of Electric Road Heating System
There are extremely important benefits to using this system. We can list the advantages of electric road heating, which has a very practical and long-lasting use;
- The system works completely automatically. Labor cost and delay problems are not encountered.
- It is like the enemy of hidden ice. It does not allow the formation of hidden ice. It prevents the formation of snow and sand piles.
- It does not damage the floors on the way it is applied, like salt and other chemicals used for snow and icing.
- There is no need to use snow plow machines and equipment.
- The system is long-lasting and maintenance-free after installation.
Operation of the Electric Road Heating System
Electrically operated heating cables are widely used, especially on roads and ramps. The system, which is applied to areas with the most snow and icing, consists of ice detectors that work by evaluating information such as surface temperature and wetness rate received through the placed sensor. In addition to measuring wetness and temperature, this system works when the temperature drops to the level of snowfall and frost formation. It stops when melting starts and does not consume unnecessary energy.
Electrical cables are laid under the floor covering to prevent icing. Thus, since humidity control and automatic temperature adjustment are made, the icing problem is safely removed. Snow, sand accumulation and ice formation are prevented on the heated floor with these heating cables placed on average 4-10 cm below the floor covering. Issues such as the power and type of electrical cables , how many cm below the floor they will be laid, laying intervals and how to control them form the basis of the design. When there is a risk of icing on the ground, the system is activated and energy consumption is optimized with the controlled operation of the system.
