Heated Pathways

• Based on calculations our heat load will be
  1,363,200 Btu/hr and to meet this load we will
  need around 14,000 ft of piping, that will be
  divided in 30 loops.
• We will need probably 3 manifold locations
  between sites.
• Propylene glycol mixed with water (50 water and
  50 glycol) will be used to prevent pipes from
  freezing.
• There are two ways of operating the system 1)
  Idling- preferable but most expensive, since a
  system will run until set temperature is
  achieved. 2) Set control system to start pumps
  to circulate glycol/water solution as soon as
  temperature goes down to 40F. If sensors detect
  precipitation or temperature below 35F the
  boiler will kick in and start heating slab.
• We should have one mechanical room located within
  building that will be on site. Assuming that they
  will need unit heaters or hot water for VAV (
  variable air volume boxes), we can use the same
  boiler that is used for snowmelt. Knowing that
  water temperature for snowmelt and VAV are
  different we will need heat exchangers.
• Of course besides the equipment I have already
  stated there will be pumps, maybe AHU ( air
  handling unit), and some other miscellaneous
  things.
• Most people believe that a snowmelt system
  creates huge amount of runoff, but that is not
  true. In well designed systems, the whole point
  is to get the slab to the temperature that will
  evaporate snow as soon as it hits the slab.
