ThermalCure®
Accelerated concrete curing via radiant heat
Accelerates the curing process using heat radiated from fin-tube pipes heated by a closed-loop hot water system. This is placed beneath the concrete surface or mould and produces the radiant heat required for accelerated curing. There is no disruption of the production process. The system is also equipped with fully automated valves.
Functions
ThermalCure®
-
Function 1
ThermalCure®
ThermalCure features a 93% efficient water heating unit available as a palletized or containerized package.
-
Function 2
ThermalCure®
High-performance circulation pump available in bronze and stainless steel circulate the hot water from the water heater to the concrete form/mould/table/bed and back.
-
Function 3
ThermalCure®
The heat distribution system is designed with electrically actuated valves so that each table/form/mould or bed may be heated independently from the others. The image shows a pipe manifold with automatic shut-off valves and temperature display. Manual valves before and after the automatic valve allow for simple and quick maintenance without draining the entire system.
-
Function 4
ThermalCure®
A hot water, closed-loop pipe system provides the radiant heat element under the form.
-
Function 5
ThermalCure®
High efficiency fin-pipe provides a higher surface area and heat transfer area than ordinary smooth pipe or more widely spaced fin-pipe designs; making this a more energy efficient system (related to point 4).
-
Function 6
ThermalCure®
The system achieves a maximum concrete temperature of 50 °C to 70 °C with water temperature of 80 °C to 110 °C.
-
Function 7
ThermalCure®
Automatic controls provide for unsupervised production and consistent results without over-heating the concrete (related to point 5).
