Trecan Combustion Limited, Snowmelting Systems

With today’s concerns about the environment and limitations on where snow can be stored, snow melters are often the perfect solution! Instead of loading, hauling and dumping snow, snowmelters can provide a more cost effective solution to your snow removal program.

SNOW MELTER PRINCIPALS OF OPERATION

Snow is loaded into a water filled melting tank incorporating a gas or oil fired burner system. The burner fires downward, directing heat and hot combustion gases along a stainless steel tube which is immersed below the water line. The gases exhaust directly into the water, exchange much of their heat, and rise up a weir tube in the form of millions of bubbles. This turbulent action creates an airlift which carries warm water up to the weir tube. At the top the depleted gases escape and the warm water is sprayed over the snow to promote further melting. This operating concept provides excellent mixing and agitation, and maximum thermal efficiencies of close to 100% are achieved.
