[Video Now Available] Snow Melting Test Status at a Certain Unmanned Management Facility

Electric heater snow melting mat type

We carried out snow melting equipment construction for unmanned management facilities within Niigata Prefecture. The work targeted vehicle parking spaces, internal work pathways, and stair areas. Due to the difficulty of regular fuel supply at unmanned facilities, the construction involved the installation of snow melting mats with built-in electric heaters. The total output of the snow melting mats is 15.6 kW (single-phase 200V specification, with 100V specification in some locations). The on/off control is based on the amount of snowfall detected by a laser light sensor, activating when the outside temperature is below 2°C and the snowfall exceeds 5 cm, and deactivating when the snowfall decreases to below 3 cm. With a communication network connection, remote monitoring and control from outside are possible, and even if the sensor malfunctions, it can be forcibly activated or deactivated. During trial operation adjustments, we recorded the heating situation from above, and the overall heating condition was found to be good.
