How do I remove ground frost using a Thawzall unit?

Thawzall frost removal systems can thaw frost in an area of up to 12,000 square feet of soil per set-up with the hydronic hose set at 24" on center hose spacing. Optimum frost removal is achieved by setting the hydronic hose at 16" on center spacing. Depending upon frost conditions, a Thawzall frost removal system can thaw frost at up to 12" of frost removal every 24 hours. This frost removal process is environmentally-friendly, since the heat transfer fluids never leave the frost removal system. That means only the heat penetrates the soil to remove frost.

Removing frost for trenching is also possible with the Thawzall frost removal system by laying the hydronic hose in long parallel lines. If the hose is laid along side footings, the Thawzall frost removal systems will keep the footings frost free and will keep footings from heaving due to frost penetration.

All Thawzall frost removal systems are fully contained winter frost removal systems which utilize a boiler to heat a biodegradable, environmentally safe propylene glycol mixture which is circulated through an industrial strength hydronic hose via to efficiently thaw the soil and soften the frozen ground for digging, concrete pouring, and other cold weather constructing needs.

For effective use of the Thawzall frost removal systems, lay the hose in loops, 24" on center, over the area to be thawed (6,000 square feet per set). You may wish to cover the hose with construction blankets to improve efficiency. With this set-up, the Thawzall frost removal systems can remove frost at a rate of up to 12" of frost removal per 24 hour period in most soil conditions.
