Constant temperature
October 1st 2005

Reznor V3 gas-fired warm air heaters have been installed in the Waterbeach depot of Parker Steel to operate round-the-clock and maintain the condition of bright engineered cables that must be kept free from damp, frost and corrosion.

The heaters were specified and installed by Hadene Mechanical services of Chatham. Six vertical downflow units were suspended from the roof at 10m from the floor level.

Operating 24h/day to maintain a constant 10°C internal air temperature throughout the building, they keep the stock slightly warm to ensure condensation cannot form on the steel no matter what temperature prevails outside.

The heaters have fourway deflectors and a high/low burner to distribute warm air effectively. Roof-mounted destratification fans help distribute the otherwise wasted warm air gathering in the roof space, further assisting the dehumidification process.
