AmbiRad flies high at Coastguard helicopter hangars

Providing rapid, targeted response to changing conditions, Nor-Ray-Vac continuous radiant tube heating offered the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) the unique opportunity to maintain a consistent temperature for two of their helicopter hangars.

For the Osprey Hangar situated at Portland, Dorset and the Daedalus Hangar at Lee on Solent, Hampshire, this solution provided the MCA with the best maintenance and storage conditions. Developed by the leader in efficient heating systems, AmbiRad, it meant that even when the vast doors were opened, the primary heat source was not lost.

Each hangar has a door that takes up one entire side. As these frequently open to allow the helicopters to manoeuvre outside, the temperature inside can swiftly drop. In winter, this can leave maintenance workers in single figure temperatures, posing a serious hazard.
 
However, with the Nor-Ray-Vac system in place, this threat is eliminated. This is made possible as the advanced system emits low-intensity heat with even distribution, creating comfortable conditions for staff at all times.
