Common areas for snowmelt systems are: driveways, walkways, parking areas, stairways, wheelchair ramps, loading docks, and around car washes. A snowmelt system is usually installed during the original construction in concrete, asphalt, mastic asphalt or under pavers. Retrofit electric systems can also be installed using saw cutting technology or on top of existing concrete, asphalt, or mastic asphalt surfaces if the existing surface is on grade. ==Overview== Snowmelt systems prevent the build-up of snow and ice on walkways, patios and roadways, or more economically, only a portion of the area such as a pair of -wide tire tracks on a driveway or a center portion of a sidewalk, etc.. They function even during a storm thus improve safety and eliminate winter maintenance labor including shoveling/plowing snow and spreading de-icing salt or traction grit (sand). A snowmelt system may extend the life of the concrete, asphalt or under pavers by eliminating the use salts or other de-icing chemicals, and physical damage from winter service vehicles. Systems are available in two broad types based on heat source: electric resistance heat or heat from a combustion or geothermal source delivered hydronicly (in a fluid). Arguably, electric snowmelt systems requires less maintenance than hydronic snowmelt systems because there are minimal moving parts and no corroding agents. Most new snowmelt systems operate in conjunction with an automatic activation device that will turn on the system on when it senses precipitation and freezing temperatures and turn off the system when temperatures are above freezing. These types of devices ensure the system is only active during useful periods and reduces wasteful energy consumption. A high limit thermostat further increases efficiency when installed in conjunction with the automatic snow melt controller to temporarily disable the system once the slab has reached a sufficient snow melting temperature. Some building codes require the high limit thermostat to prevent energy waste. Though their total environmental impact depends on their energy source. Current systems are more cost effective in the long run than continual salt dumping and removal, and reduce waste by extending the life of the cement. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Snowmelt system」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
