I visited a site the other day which consisted on 1.5 million sqft of
vacant industrial buildings built in the 1950's. The cost to heat
these building is astronomical and the owners are looking for cut
costs. They would like to convert the 30 +/- systems from wet to dry.
Obviously the biggest obstacle is pipe pitch. Some of the lines
appear to pitch, but most lines and mains are flat (caveat: I have
not gone in with a level to check it, but rod lengths looked the
same). The lines look like they could be pitched, but the mains would
be a challenge. Are there any alternatives out there? I don't know of
any, but I didn't know if the collective mind had run across anything.
