Continuous warmth
September 1st 2008 In a turnkey heating solution from
AmbiRad, Nor-Ray-Vac continuous
radiant tube heaters, combined
with specially commissioned highvelocity
overdoor air curtains, are
helping maintain comfort conditions
for employees working on trains
that service the new Eurostar high
speed rail link between London and
the Channel Tunnel.
In the main maintenance shed at
the Temple Mills depot, Nor-Ray-
Vac burners were installed close to
the entrance/exit doors. Up to eight
400m long trains can be
accommodated in the 24,840m2
main shed at any one time, all
under cover. Internal temperatures
are protected by specially-built
Airbloc air curtains. To maintain
comfort temperatures around the
open doorways, Nor-Ray-Vac
continuous radiant tubes were also
fitted above.
In the 3100m2 bogie drop area,
where just part of the train is worked
on while 90% of it remains outside
the building, an 18 burner Nor-Ray-
Vac continuous radiant system was
installed over the main working area. More articles from AmbiRad Ltd: |
