Rail car thawing system with low intensity infrared radiant gas heaters

In the case of completely frozen wagons, the use of low intensity heaters represents an economical alternative. Low intensity heaters have a substantially lower surface temperature than high intensity heaters. This extends the residence time of the wagons in the system while reducing the risk of overheating.

Optionally, the thawing process can be supported by additional warm air supply from below.

After thawing the edge zones, the wagons in the unloading station are easily unloaded by overturning (180 ° rotation).
