GENERAL INFORMATION

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING SYSTEM THERMAL PERFORMANCE

To maintain or improve your wall installation the following items should be considered.

A. Blinds or drapes prevent warm air from adequately flowing over the window surface.

B. Warm air ventilators too far from the window will not adequately wash the window with air to prevent

condensation.

C. In extreme conditions the fan of the heating system should not cycle on and off, but should run

continuously.

D. Some heating systems have a water injection feature that can raise humidity levels. The higher the

humidity levels the more likely condensation or frost will form. Raising the temperature and reducing

humidity will usually solve the problem.

E. On rare occasions an extremely cold storm may cause frost to appear on the glass framing. A space

heater and electric fan blowing along the plane of the window wall can reduce or eliminate this temporary

condition.
