Cold Room Heater Mats (Frost Heave Prevention)
Our cold room heater mats offer a great solution for the prevention of frost heave. We supply a large volume of these frost heave mats every year to companies where cold room storage plays an important role. Cold rooms can suffer serious problems if affected by frost heave. The consequences of frost heave can be serious – from unnecessary downtime to loss of/damage to cold storage stock (chilled or frozen).
These electric heater mats mats can provide a very effective means of preventing cold air escaping from deep freeze chambers and cold rooms and are actually suitable for most door openings. This is a well proven technology and high operational safety makes these mats a first choice when considering finding something suitable that offers frost heave prevention. There are numerous advantages to these mats – for example, cracks and faults in a concrete base do not affect the actual heating elements. Also, because of their Teflon insulation, they are resistant to alkali attack and are very durable. All these are important factors in the management of commercial cold rooms.
Cold Room Monitoring Via Web Interface
A specialized frost prevention controller makes the use of these heater mats more efficient than ever before. It can be configured and monitored via web interface so that, if there is a problem, an integrated function triggers the booting-up of a PC which alerts the operator in the control room. This assures very precise and reliable control.
Improved Safety For Personnel
A special emergency call alarm system has been developed to improve the safety of those working in cold rooms. When triggered, anyone trapped or injured can be detected and a networked PC reports the alarm via ‘Wake on LAN function’.
Detection Of Cold Room Temperature Rises, Unclosed Doors
The emergency call alarm system can also be used to display technical problems. These might include an abnormal temperature rise, an unclosed door, inactive ventilation or water.
