Abstract
A de-icing, snow melting and warming system is taught which utilizes a heatsink (20) consisting of a number of board strips disposed in a planer array positioned within a building structure between its exterior and interior surface. The heatsink board strips have a gap (24) therebetween in which a heating cable (42) is positioned in a continuous serpentine manner and held in place with loop clamps (44). A gap filler (48) encases the heating cable including the enclosed gap forming a homogenous closure. A low voltage power transformer (54) is attached to electrical mains providing electrical voltage reduction to the heating cable of 30 volts or less, and controls and self diagnostics regulate the power and detect anomalies within the system.
Claims18
A de-icing, snow melting and warming system which comprises,
- a heatsink having gaps therebetween,
- a heating cable positioned within said heatsink gaps covered with a gap filler with the heatsink, cable and gap filler mounted between a building exterior surface and a building interior surface, and
- a low voltage power transformer and controls for regulating power and detection of anomalies within the system.
A de-icing, snow melting and warming system which comprises,
- a plurality of heatsink board strips disposed in a planer array within a structure with said plurality of heatsink board strips having a gap therebetween,
- a heating cable disposed in a continuous manner within said gap between the plurality of heatsink board strips,
- a gap filler encasing the heating cable and gap jointly forming a homogenous closure,
- a low voltage power transformer attached to electrical mains providing electrical voltage reduction to said heating cable, and
- controls and self diagnostics for regulating power and detection of anomalies of the system.
