“Takes a beating, and keeps on heating”

Don’t be the one that gets burned.

When it comes to THAW, CURE, HEAT, nobody does it betterthan Thawzall. We don’t take that statement lightly. We’veinvested thousands of hours innovating and developing ourexclusive line of HEATZONE® equipment that soaks your winterconstruction project with an even, uniform envelope of heat.

Other manufacturers simplyaddress your needs with the “burnttoast” theory, heat that is poorlycontrolled and unevenlydistributed.

Thawzall’s HEATZONE®

technology for the winterconstruction trade is aninnovative, patented(#5,964,402), portable heat distributionsystem similar to in-floor heat zonesinstalled in homesand buildings.

Temperatures across the area tobe heated are accuratelycontrolled and heat isuniformly distributed bycirculating heated fluidthrough hoseconnected to Thawzall’s patented heatdistribution system. You can’t make toast orTHAW-CURE-HEAT any better than that.

Need another reason to specify innovative HEATZONE®

technology? HEATZONE’s even heat technology consumes 24gallons LESS fuel per day than a comparable competitor* whilecompleting the same THAW-CURE job in less total time. Andnow you know why - even heat results in desirable outcomes.

Introducing the HEATZONE® H Series...

Portable Hydronic Heating Systems

The idea of a portable hydronic heating system

was conceived by and named Thawzall in a

workshop in Alexandria, Minnesota, in 1996 by

a Norwegian plumber who had a contractor friend that

was in trouble and behind schedule when the winter

freeze up caught up with him.

This plumber developed his version of a portable

hydronic heat system using a low pressure closed-loop

system and the first of hundreds to come was produced

that winter. Because he felt that he had a better idea

than a competitor’s product, he applied for and received

patent #5,964,402 on his portable hydronic heater in

1999 for a manifold fluid distribution system that

featured quick disconnects and multiple heat zones.

New owners purchased Thawzall in 2007 after learning

that opportunity existed to improve the product line.

The latest model Thawzall machines now proudly carry

the HeatZone® brand. HeatZone® – even heat for

desirable outcomes.

COLD WEATHER CONCRETEThawzall Products Conform to New GuidelinesThe ACI (American Concrete Institute) guidelines for cold weatherconcreting have been recently updated as of October 2010. Untilrecently, outdated guidelines dating back to 1988 have been in use.

The new guidelines provide extensive guidance for contractors pouringconcrete in winter conditions. Thawzall strongly recommends thatcontractors refer to these guidelines prior to winter construction relatingto concrete placement.

There are several important points to make note of in the new guidelines.

A rising phrase in the industry today is “Maturity Monitoring”.Concrete maturity is based on the concept that the combination ofcuring time and temperature of the concrete results in a specific strengthfor a given concrete mixture.

When it comes to Specification Recommendations, heat must be madeavailable to maintain the concrete temperature throughout the concreteat 50° F (10° C) or above until protection can be safely discontinued.

Regarding the use of equipment, it has been found that in manyinstances, hydronic heaters and insulation blankets are adequate tomaintain concrete placements within the proper curing temperaturerange, versus the building of enclosures and heaters to maintain therecommended temperatures.

Hydronic heaters circulate a heated glycol/water heat transfer fluid(liquid) through a system of heat transfer hoses placed on the surface.The heater remains outdoors so no products of combustion enter theworkspace or contact the concrete.

Thawzall Offers Product to Meet Your Needs The ability to control temperatures as noted in the guidelines is self-contained in Thawzall’s SL technology where temperature is controlledthrough a single lever combined with a mixing valve. This technology asfound in all the SL models and is far superior in its distribution of heatand control of temperature than found in competitor’s models.

Although SL Technology is superior in meeting today’s guidelinesThawzall has always been able to produce even and uniform heatthrough its use of patented (#5,964,402) manifold technology whichextends the reach and capability of Thawzall equipment. The technologyis expandable to be able to use on large jobs where it is necessary toextend the distance away from the base machine to conduct both THAWand CURE operations.

HEAT TECHNOLOGYUse HeatZone™ HEAT Technology for Dry Heat in Buildings and Enclosed Workspaces.

Contact Thawzall Technical Support 888-757-3545 for assistance.

1. Select and insulate the enclosed space to be temporarily heated.• Determine temperature desired and MBH (1000 BTUs per hour) heat required.For comparison purposes, a large-sized, reasonably insulated home can be easilyheated in severe winter climates with a furnace that produces less than 100 MBH.

• Steady state temperature of the enclosed space will be contingent on R-value, windvelocity, nighttime lows, cubic feet of space to be heated and MBH delivered.

2. Position unit heater(s) in space to be warmed.• Unit heaters are available in either 100 or 200 MBH sizes.

3. Connect heaters to Thawzall HeatZone™ base unit so that output is matched to number of unit heaters selected.

Some Examples:

Match 2 – 100 MBH unit heaters with an H250 HeatZone™ unitMatch 1 – 200 MBH unit heater with an H250 HeatZone™ unitMatch 4 – 200 MBH unit heaters with an XH850 HeatZone™ unitMatch 8 – 100 MBH unit heaters with an XH850 HeatZone™ unit

THAW TECHNOLOGY1. Prepare site for thawing.

• Remove snow and ice.• Pooling of water in low spots must be removed. • A smooth site thaws more efficiently and evenly.

2. Position hose for optimal thawing. • Place hose directly on thaw site. Hose spacing determines the rate and consistencyof the thawing process as follows:

• To prepare for excavation, space hose lines 12-24 inches (305-610mm) apart. Smallareas of frost remaining between the lines do not hamper excavation.

• To prepare for concrete pours, space hose lines 12 inches (305mm) apart. This willeliminate any patches of frost between lines.

• To increase thaw rate, space hose lines 6-12 inches (152-305mm) apart.

3. Consider placing a poly water vapor barrier over hoses. • The need for a poly barrier is dependent upon soil type and moisture content in thesoil. Check with Thawzall Technical Support 888-757-3545.

• Place poly barrier (minimum 3ml) over the hoses to minimize heat loss as well askeep soil moist and thermal blankets clean.

4. Lay thermal blankets over poly barrier and/or hoses. • Multiple layers (at least 2) of thermal blankets crisscrossed will maximize heatretention and drive heat from the hose into the ground.

• THAW time nominally up to 1 foot deep/day (305mm) varies based on hose spacing,soil type, moisture content, ambient air temperature, and R-factor of insulatingblankets placed on top of the hoses.

5. Site is now prepared for excavation, frost prevention, or curing slab-on-grade.

It may be economically feasible to use Thawzall HeatZone™ equipment to keep the groundfrom freezing in late fall or early winter as the use of fuel will be significantly less as

compared to a deep thaw project later on into the winter season.

1. Prepare Site.• Smooth the site and remove all debris.

2. Position Hose.• Use 24” (610mm) centers for optimum hose coverage.

3. Spread thermal blankets.• Lay a crisscross layer of thermal blankets (at least 2 layers) over the hose to minimize heat loss and retain natural ground heat.

4. Optimize return temperature of HTF (Heat Transfer Fluid).• Monitor and set Thawzall’s patented HeatZone™ system to evenly distributeand accurately control HTF return temperature so that ground temperature stabilizesat or above 50ºF (10°C).

• Do NOT reduce furnace temperature setting to reduce furnace temperature –this will reduce process efficacy and shorten furnace life.

Concrete Curing Facts:

• To CURE concrete properly in cold weather, you must maintain the concrete temperature between 50-70°F (10-21°C).

• If the concrete temperature rises above 70°F (21°C), during CURE, it will dry tooquickly possibly causing cracking, hazing, and in extreme heat situations, causereduced strength (PSI) and potentially explosive ruin.

• If the concrete temperature falls below 50°F (10°C) during CURE, set times will extendfrom hours to days, PSI strength will be jeopardized as temperatures approach freezingand, if concrete freezes prior to being cured, you may have an expensive demolitionproject on your hands.

• Thawzall’s CCS (Concrete Curing Station) allows you to easily maintain curetemperatures between 50-70°F (10-21°C).
