News28.01.2013 Ulan UdeOur heat exchangers had to prove themselves in temperatures below -40° C. The facility in Ulan Ude has been running for several months. Our automatic deicing concept also worked at these extreme temperatures. During active deicing 50% of the exchanger capacity is still available. The special design of heat exchangers for these extreme temperatures allows for a separate deicing area in each exchanger. 2 sensors montior the operation and the software ensures the thawimg of the exchanger's supply air ventilators and washing system one half at a time. After this the deicing process switches automatically to and the other half while the first half activates to move heat back into the stable. This reduces heating by more than 60%. The heat is moved back into the stable through the suspended supply air ceiling.

Some more images can be seen in the following photos. Your hdt and konzept.team |
