Customer

Location
Auburn, ME
Scope
Heat a hangar at the Auburn-Lewiston airport in Maine, where the customers were restoring a Super Constellation Starliner luxury aircraft.
Sales Representative
Emerson Swan
What Client Needed
A system that would hydronically heat the airplane hangar's high-mass concrete floor.
Solution
Two large manifolds for the main area supplies warmth to twenty-four 400-foot, 5/8-inch PEX loops spaced on 18-inch centers in the main floor. Spacing is closer at nine-inch centers near the exterior walls and the snowmelt apron.
Two gas-fired boilers feed 180°F water out to the manifolds. Return fluid temperatures typically reenter the primary/secondary piping at about 80°F.
Result (ROI)
The solution saved a huge amount of money on the cost of the system and energy consumption.
