Temperature-Driven Glass Solutions: Meeting ISO 3434 Standards with THERMOVIT for Optimal Performance
This map indicates the average annual sea surface temperature and provides an indication of the general weather conditions. In relation to this, the power supply is indicated.Please note this is an indication only. For exact specifications, please contact your Vetrotech representative.
The amount of heating power (W/dm2) required depends on the area in which the ship or rig will operate and could influence your choice for the most suitable THERMOVIT glazing solution. In areas where the temperature can drop to -12 °C and below, heated glass is mandatory according to the ISO 3434 standard. For areas where temperatures stay above -12°C, heated glass can be specified to avoid condensation on the glass due to the high humidity levels.
