Electric traffic slab heating for cold stores
Cold store heating
Wet surfaces at doors and airlocks can freeze where traffic enters a freezer area. Traffic slab heating targets these transition zones and is designed around the floor construction, use and local temperatures.

Identifying transition zones
Door width, traffic direction and the affected surface define the heating area. Opening cycles and moisture entry help establish operating conditions. Heating the …
Door width, traffic direction and the affected surface define the heating area. Opening cycles and moisture entry help establish operating conditions. Heating the traffic surface serves a different purpose from protecting the ground beneath an insulated floor.
