Snowmelters
Stationary Models
Trecan stationary Snowmelters offer a unique alternative to portable Snowmelters as they are fixed, in-ground units that cost less to operate and maintain over portable units. They can be designed to operate on natural gas or on diesel fuel or fuel oil and are strategically placed at the top of parking garages, and at various points around an airport or parking lot. Trecan stationary Snowmelters are available in various sizes and capacities, using multiple burners arranged side-by-side.
20-SG Snowmelter
The Trecan 20-SG is commonly used in hospital, university and commercial parking garages and other parking structures that have parking on the top deck and/or have multiple top deck parking facilities. With a capacity of 20 tons per hour, its 4.5 million BTU/hr burner can melt 50 to 100 cubic yards of snow with an average snow density of 15 to 30 lbs/cu. ft. per hour.
The adjoining photo shows an example of a 20-SG melting tank and equipment module located on the deck below the top deck in a double-T parking structure. A chute from the top deck directs snow into the melting tank.
If the parking structure was a cast-in-place construction, the top of the melting tank would be flush with the surface of the top deck, and the equipment module would be located on the top deck beside the melting tank.
40-SG Snowmelter
The Trecan 40-SG is an excellent choice for airports, universities, parking lots, strip malls and shopping plazas. With a capacity of 40 tons per hour, its 9 million BTU/hr burner can melt 100 to 200 cubic yards of snow with an average snow density of 15 to 30 lbs/cu. ft. per hour. A Trecan 40-SG will use 9,000 SCFH or 255 cubic meters of gas per hour.
The adjoining photo shows a 40-SG installed in the top deck of a cast-in-place parking structure. This unit has a customized melting tank top with two hinged tank covers, where the typical tank would have a single hinged cover.
