in THE MAIN WALL
My customer has an outside building which will be the mechaical room for the snowmelt project. Are there any problems with hydronic components, except controls, being exposed to extreme cold temps -20's. The system will be glycoled. Should we consider a radiant zone for the mechanical building? Thanks Jeffrey

    Cold temps

    You should closely check all the components of the system. Most controls are designed to work within a specified temperature range. Many are not designed for below zero temps.
