Steel conditions maintained by Reznor warm-air heaters

Factory
Background heating to prevent corrosion of the 3000 t of steel held in this depot is provided by high-level Reznor warm-air heaters.
To provide background heating to maintain the conditioning of bright engineering steels stored in the Waterbeach depot of Parker Steel, Reznor V3 gas-fired heaters have been installed. This kind of steel is extensively used in the automotive industry. Maintaining its key characteristics means that the atmosphere in which it is stored must be kept at a constant temperature. Because of its uses, bright steel must be kept in mill condition and completely free from damp, frost and corrosion at all times. 3000 t is held in stock at Parker Steel. The Reznor heaters were specified and installed by Hadene Mechanical Services of Chatham. Six vertical downflow units were suspended from the roof 10 m above the floor. They operate 24 h a day to maintain a constant 10°C. The heaters have high/low burners and 4-way deflectors to distribute warm air as effectively as possible. Roof-mounted destratification fans prevent warm air accumulating wastefully in the roof space.
