Designing Snowmelting Systems, Part 2-Piping and Controls
Here are the guidelines to follow when designing the piping and controls for a snowmelting system.
Mixing Device There are several ways to accomplish water temperature control. One such method is to use a mixing valve. An added advantage of this is the ability to control return water temperature to the boiler. In an economical system, water temperature control may also be accomplished with a three-way diverting valve. Some snowmelting systems are piped with injection systems.
