This kind of steel is extensively used in the automotive industry. Maintaining its key characteristics means that the atmosphere in which it is stored must be kept at a constant temperature. Because of its uses, bright steel must be kept in mill condition and completely free from damp, frost and corrosion at all times. 3000 t is held in stock at Parker Steel.
The Reznor heaters were specified and installed by Hadene Mechanical Services of Chatham. Six vertical downflow units were suspended from the roof 10 m above the floor. They operate 24 h a day to maintain a constant 10°C.
The heaters have high/low burners and 4-way deflectors to distribute warm air as effectively as possible. Roof-mounted destratification fans prevent warm air accumulating wastefully in the roof space.
