Burwash Landing · truck bay heating

Can the well heat the truck bay?

Calculating…

Your bayInputs marked yours are what you gave: a 20′ × 40′ × 22′ bay, two 16′ overhead doors (one each end) that open for every well call, heated today by an oil hydronic boiler with two 24″ × 24″ heaters. Truck visits follow the well-call schedule from the water loop page. Door height, insulation levels and the heaters' rated output are assumptions; please check them.

Heat sources

A heat pump on the well feeds the existing heaters first; the oil boiler covers whatever it can't. Select a row to see its design day.
