Heat monitoring

The compact system is designed to help reduce the risk of overheating whilst working in hot environments such as bakeries and foundries, where the use of ovens and furnaces mean that heat stress is a constant concern for employees.

John Shelton, MD at Svantek, comments: "As well as measuring WBGT (wet bulb temperature – the most widely used and accepted index for assessing heat stress in industry), Heat Shield can also monitor Heat Index, predicted mean vote, percentage people dissatisfied, predicted heat strain, and many more parameters.”

Heat Shield’s built-in radio technology also provides an option to link two satellite stations wirelessly to the main monitoring station, allowing companies to measure simultaneously at three different heights or in three separate locations.
