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 humidty levels. The
highter the humidity levels the more likely condensation or frost wil form. Raising the temperture
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.
