2 refrigerants in Feb lol.How are you finding the old airmats m8,have been hearing good things about them.we usually do the same with polythene but i do like the idea of the airmats,

On a side note had a loan of the T.E.S system from alltec for a couple of weeks a few months back was impressed with it we fed hot air over a slab and measured it at over 60c keeping the air above the tent cool it certainly ramped up the evaporation from the concrete you really cant get that temp easilly by other means

doug,

im looking to talk to alltec about their heating system, as i know they are interested in the mats aswell.

the dessicants are good casue they create a grreat dry atmosphere, above the mat, and then the mat targets the air.

weve been using polythene but sometimes u get a failure, and i dont like that.

i'll email u a pic if you wish ?

for us the mats adds another tool to our range of services, and if we can get an in with a couple of the loss adjusters that we work for then i will be a happy chappy.

at the moment looks as if we have enough drying work throu till february, and then options on the reinstatement, so all looks good.

the only time we use refigerants now, is on the self pump out units to condense the moisture, if we havent got a convenient external venting point.

regards

martin

We have been using heat like this for 6 years , the heat it produces and the volume is out of this world, also we drag the wet air out of the building furthur increasing the rate of evaporation, we offer free demos on suitable jobs too.

martin yes sure would like to see some pics,am happy to share my findings on the T.E.S system also.

Jason what system do you use m8,whatever method is used the key in my opinion is to keep the temp at the surface of the material as high as poss and the temp in the surrounding air as low as possible,not as simple as it sounds we found tenting the best solution.....just to be a devil i installed a drieze 1200 fridge unit to see what it would do @ 60c measured the mc going in at 12g and mc coming out at 14g so the fridge actually ADDED moisture lol

Great to see so many indipendants around,have just returned from a 5 month tour of duty(hull/sheffield/midlands etc)and some of the antics from the frannies just absolutely beggars belief somebody somewere is gonna end up with burny fingers ???

I use my own system , called Scirocco, we designed and built it ourselves we have 6 units , that have been working incredibly hard these past few months, we have dried slabs as small as one room and as big as a wickes store, all far faster and cheaper than anyone else we have seen.
