FACILITY FOR STEAM HEATING OF CONCRETE SLOPE MOUNTS IN WINTERTIME Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC E02B1/00 E02B3/00 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: facility for steam heating of concrete slope mounts in wintertime consists of a steam boiler, a heating system comprised of pipes and installed in the concrete on the dam slope and thermal insulation covering the surface of the concrete and the heating system. The steam boiler is installed below the heating system and the pipes are interconnected in cycles with an adverse slope for a water flow into the steam boiler. In this case, the end of the heating system mentioned above is equipped with a pressure sensor for a stream escape in case of excessive pressure. The pressure sensor is attached with a coupling to the end of the heating system and has a valve supported with a spring that has a deflection rate regulator.

EFFECT: improvement of the concrete quality owing to a uniform heating of the concrete all over the area and reduction in operational power consumption.
