In recent years, winter has become more severe with abundant snow loss. In the period of thaws, it is more dangerous and dangerous to walk under the roofs of houses, intentional icicles can cause injuries incompatible with life.
Also icy paths are the cause of mass injuries in the winter. Anti -icing systems are an excellent exit in this situation. They can be used to heat the roof, pedestrian paths, car parking, stadiums and various pipelines. Inquiring anti -icing systems operating from electricity and on the principle of «warm water floors».
The latter are convenient if it is necessary to heat the site with a large area, without access to electricity.
And for heating the roof and drainage, cable systems are more often used to heat up due to a heating electric cable. This cable is not used to heat the dwelling, but only contributes to uniform and timely snow from the roof. The design of the warming part of the anti -icing system includes directly the cable and fasteners that contribute to the melting of ice and snow and the output of them from the roof.
The control of this system is carried out by the distribution part that supplies power to the heating part. Several varieties of cable and fasteners are used. All these components are placed in a control box, where there are also sensors and regulators.
Installation of such systems is planned at the beginning of the repair of the apartment in order to immediately think over the cable lining place.
When installing the anti -icing system, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors. First of all, this is the type of roof and its condition, also calculate the length of the cable, based on the fact that it should be located from the top of the roof to the final place where the water should go. It is desirable to install such systems in summer or at the beginning of autumn.
A heating cable is perfect for heating the courtyard, paths, parking platform, will help to prevent the water supply. The heating cable is arranged so that it does not allow overheating of the heating object and its own.
Two types of heating cables are distinguished:
Resistive cables — fully automated. Operating life of at least 5 years. They maintain the set temperature.
Self -regulating cables heat the surface depending on the degree of cooling of the heated object. In the area with ice influx, such a cable heats up more than where there is no snow or ice coating. The life of such a cable can reach 20 years, during which time they are fully paid off, spent on its acquisition, costs.
