Snow accumulation at HVAC air intakes can restrict airflow, disrupt cooling performance, and increase downtime risk. Betterfrost helps prevent snow blockage and ingestion before they impact intake performance.
Betterfrost is built on three pillars: precision surface heating, intelligent power control, and real-time ice detection. Together, these technologies help protect airflow, prevent snow blockage and ingestion, and improve winter operating reliability.
Pulsed power targets only the interfacial ice layer, keeping heat at the surface and reducing unnecessary energy loss.
Power is delivered precisely for efficient intake protection and easy integration with existing systems and control logic.
Sensors detect ice and frost formation early, activate heat only when needed, and confirm when the surface is clear.
Betterfrost heated screens are designed for real-world intake systems, with integration into existing power systems and control logic. The platform supports custom intake screen designs for both new facilities and retrofit projects.
Integrates with existing site power.
Works with existing control systems.
Supports custom intake screen designs.
Fits both new builds and retrofits.
Protects airflow in winter conditions.
Betterfrost helps protect intake performance in winter conditions with intelligent activation, efficient surface heating, and confirmation of an ice-free surface.
Traditional approaches use more energy and provide less control in winter conditions. Betterfrost protects air intakes with precise heat activation, higher thermal efficiency, and confirmation of an ice-free surface.
