Heating Methods for Frost Prevention on Fields
With the developing technology, many different heating methods have emerged. These methods are preferred according to their ease of use and the energy savings they provide. Due to adverse weather conditions, competitions are not played on the fields where matches are played, especially in regions where the winter months are harsh. Thanks to the underfloor heating systems, the formation of icing and freezing on the surface of the fields can be prevented.
What is Underfloor Heating System in the Field?
Thanks to the systems placed on the floor of the pitches during the winter months, heat distribution is provided on the surface and frost is prevented. The underfloor heating system is activated according to the air temperature. When the snowfall starts, the temperature control system is activated and this system turns itself off when the whole grass surface melts.
Benefits of Underfloor Heating System in the Field
-
- It does not damage the surface where the application area is grass, like salt and other chemicals poured for snow melting.
- The system is activated automatically. No labor costs are required to activate this process.
- There is no need for machines for snow plows.
- The system does not require periodic maintenance.
How is Underfloor Heating System Installed in the Field?
Heating cables are laid under the coating on the field surface. After laying, heating cables are placed to automatically adjust the temperature and control the humidity level. The laid system must be controlled with sensors and thermostats. The risk situation for humidity and temperature should be checked. The system works continuously in a controlled manner. It activates itself as soon as the temperature drops. Since it can make this adjustment without the need for outside intervention, it also reduces costs. In addition, the installed cable system will not work in situations where there is no risk of icing. Thus, energy savings are provided in use. It only prevents ice formation by controlling situations where ice may occur. Another advantage of this method, which has many advantages, is that it is clean. The liquid formed as a result of snow melt does not leak or reach the cables and become dangerous. It is a method that improves health and quality of life. However, people who prefer this method should carefully examine the quality of the product used. The quality product provides many years of use. In addition, it is vital to test the product while laying. Temperature and humidity condition grading should be done carefully. Neglecting this will pose a great risk.
