VANCOUVER, Aug. 5 /CNW/ - Free Energy International Inc. TSXV : FFX ("Free Energy" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the Vancouver area's first installation of the Free Energy Snow and Ice melting system which was completed Friday at the newly constructed warehouse owned by Refrigerative Supply Ltd. ("RSL") on North Fraser Way in Burnaby. The driveway is 16 feet wide by 45 feet long and is used for shipping and receiving. RSL owner Peter Gibbs was concerned about safety for the truck drivers for the hundreds of deliveries that are made to his facility every winter and decided to install the Free Energy Snow and Ice melt system in the busiest loading dock area.
The cost of installing the Free Energy snow melt rods is comparable to installing electric heat trace and there is never an energy bill for the operation of the snow melt rods. The saving per year on energy usage is estimated at between $2500 and $ 3000 per year and the increase in the safety is immeasurable.
Refrigerative Supply Ltd. has been operating in Vancouver for over 50 years and is a family owned business.
The system requires a series of L-shaped rods containing the non-toxic super conducting material to be placed vertically to a depth of 30 to 35 feet below the surface to tap into the constant mild temperatures below and bring heat continuously to the surface.
The natural heat will protect a driveway or sidewalk in temperatures down to minus 10 Centigrade. Below this temperature, optional self-contained low-wattage heating elements switch on to provide any necessary additional heat.
