Efficient Heating of Turnouts or Switches
Heating of turnouts and switches is referred to in many ways, but it always serves the same purpose: to keep switches free from snow and ice and allow the tongue of the turnout to move during winter conditions with snowfall and frost.
BluePoint Reduces Energy Consumption
BluePoint is the points heating/turnout heating system that optimizes the energy saving without loss of efficiency.
A system that ensures traffic regularity, and uses the latest technology to heat only when it is needed.
BluePoint reduces you energy consumption with 40-80%.
Energy Saving
The BluePoint points heating system offers a high level of energy savings without loosing any efficiency in critical weather situations.
Energy conservation
Traditional points heating systems use a lot of energy to heat up the rails just because it is cold, to heat the rails to be prepared for snow, during hours when it is not snowing.
Instead the BluePoint heating system uses weather forecasting to reduce heating for no reason. This is a very cost efficient method.
