Radiant tube heating
May 1st 2007 RAF Cottesmore has switched to
Nor-Ray-Vac continuous radiant
tube heating from AmbiRad.
Four hangars now benefit from
the even heat distribution and
constant air temperatures of
between 16-19°C generated by the
burners – in spite of full height and
width doors that frequently open to
allow aircraft to manoeuvre in and
out. The new system also achieves
improved comfort and flexibility
without the added increase in fuel
consumption.The 5,500m2 hangars
are used for storage and
maintenance of aircraft on the
base, which is known to be one of
the highest in the country and
exposed to winds.
The continuous radiant tube
system comprises 24 Nor-Ray-Vac
46kW LR series linear burners with
four vacuum fans. The AmbiRad
heaters are controlled centrally by
a Trend BMS and each can be
operated in four zones. More articles from Ambirad: |
