Description: ASHRAE
has recently completed a project to revise design data for Snow melting systems
(946-RP) - the first time for 40 years. This project has required the
development of a two-dimensional heat transfer model of the heating elements
within the slab. This model has been designed to work within a design program,
using selected snow storm weather data, to calculate the required power inputs
to meet the design criteria. (Project duration 1/1999-6/2000).
