Heating of gutters and downspouts

Gutter and gutter heating system

• preventing water from freezing in gutters and downspouts;
• protecting roofs and facades from damage by frozen water;
• protecting the life and health of people walking
  next to the walls of the building;

Roofing types and materials

The de-icing system can be installed both on a building under construction, having planned the installation at the design stage, and on a building already in operation, according to the results of analysing the condition of the roof.

The system can be installed on sloping and flat roofs of any design. The materials of the roof and its elements can be: metal, rubber, plastic, wood, made of resins.

The system heats:

• roof elements;
• gutters and drainage funnels;
• gutter funnels, gutter pipes
  
  

Special features of cable heating of gutters and downspouts

Warns, but not melt. The power of the heating cable prevents the formation of ice, but is not designed to melt ice. Timely switching on will prevent ice formation. If the heating is switched on late, when the roof is covered with a layer of ice, the effectiveness of the system is virtually nil. Do not allow gutters and downspouts to fill with ice.

Automatic on/off switch

To reduce energy consumption, de-icing systems use electronic thermostats to automatically control heating.

Switching on or off is automatic when the corresponding signals are received from the remote sensors. To answer the question ‘at what temperature to switch on the roof heating’ - for the average strip of Russia we recommend to set the thermostat values: switching on at 2...5 ° C, switching off at 5 ° C.

The de-icing system is economical and reliable. Thanks to the presence of a thermal sensor, the heating cable consumes electricity efficiently.

Installation of de-icing system

1. Installation of heating sections. During installation, the following are used: mounting tape, technical chain, hooks, clamps, rivets, screws, self-tapping screws.
2. Connection of heating sections to a power supply network with a voltage of ~220 V, 50 Hz alternating current. For connection, junction boxes, electrical cables, cable support products and other fasteners and accessories are used. Brands of power cables, types of boxes, cable support systems are used in accordance with operating conditions and PUE requirements.
3. Installation of control and protection equipment. Installation of sensors, control cabinet SHU (KNS), with pre-installed electronic thermostat, starting and protective devices, in accordance with the system capacity and class of the control cabinet.
4. Checking and adjusting the system operation.
