仅在美国，每年安装融雪系统的成本就估计为2亿至3亿美元。应用包括人行道、道路、坡道和跑道，系统包括循环、电气和红外设计。该研究项目将产生更好的设计指南，以纳入ASHRAE应用手册，以及设计工程师可用于模拟现场特定应用的模型。注意:压缩文件，大约35MB。主要研究人员:杰弗里·D·斯皮特勒，俄克拉荷马州立大学，主持时间:1999年1月至2000年6月，赞助单位:TC 6.1，循环和蒸汽设备及系统

The cost of snow melting systems installed in the U.S. alone each year is estimated at $200 to $300 million. Applications include sidewalks, roadways, ramps and runways, and systems include hydronic, electric and infrared designs. This research project will generate better design guidance for inclusion in the ASHRAE Handbook of Applications, as well as a model that can be used by design engineers to model site-specific applications.Note:Zipped file, approximately 35 MB.Principal Investigator: Jeffrey D.
