Providing comfort conditions in stadiums, which host many events from football competitions to athletics races, is very important for the audience to have a comfortable viewing experience. So, how are the comfort conditions provided in the stadium stands in cold weather? Here are the details…
Sports are among the indispensables of a country. Sports competitions and various games; are important elements that reinforce the spirit of unity, togetherness and brotherhood. At the same time, sports are critical for countries to gain international prestige and show their level of development to the whole world. Stadiums, which are an important part of sports culture, play an important role in supporting sports by hosting many events from football competitions to athletic races.
Offers a comfortable viewing experience
The comfort conditions of the stadiums, which are defined as meeting points where the fans come together, are very important for the audience to have a more comfortable viewing experience. When it comes to comfort in stadium stands in winter, the first criterion that comes to mind is heating. Because when the right technologies are not preferred in open space heating; both comfort conditions cannot be provided and heating costs increase significantly due to the energy consumed while trying to heat the open air.
The stadium heats its tribunes on the principle that the sun warms the earth
Çukurova Isı offers excellent solutions for the heating of stadium stands with its advanced technology radiant heater products; Because radiant heaters, which heat the environment with the principle that the sun warms the world, provide economical and comfortable heating by heating people directly instead of heating the air. Although stadiums are highly windy structures, radiant heaters maintain comfort conditions by providing effective heating without being affected by the wind.
The first and most referenced company in stadium heating
Çukurova Isı Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü, who said that they have signed many important projects in stadium stands that are seen as difficult or even impossible to heat in Turkey, stated that as Çukurova Isı, they are the first and most referenced company in stadium heating and drew attention to the importance of project design:
“If the weather is 10 degrees, the fans in the stands feel 20 degrees”
“Stadium heating; requires a high level of engineering skills and experience. Because it is difficult to heat the open air, it is very important to make the right engineering calculations, that is, to prepare the right project, especially in such windy structures. Correction of wrong device selection and wrong capacity determination can be very difficult, sometimes even impossible. We calculate and make the project as a minimum of 10 degrees delta t. In other words, if the weather is 10 degrees, the fans in the stands feel 20 degrees. We even caught 16 degrees delta t in the stands of some stadiums, such as the Konya stadium.
Comfort conditions in cold weather are provided by Çukurova Isı's advanced radiant technologies at Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saraçoğlu Stadium, Kayseri Kadir Has Stadium, Istanbul Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium, Gaziantep Stadium and many other stadiums. The right device and the right project design bring comfort and efficiency.”
Stating that Goldsun CPH FOCUS technology is used in stadium heating, Osman Ünlü continued his words as follows:
“Wind currents are very strong in the stands”
“As the name suggests, there are extended reflectors on the Goldsun CPH FOCUS device so that the rays coming out of the device can be focused, that is, the rays coming out of the devices suspended at a height of 35-40 meters do not scatter and concentrate on the determined area. These elongated reflectors also increase the wind resistance of the devices. Because the wind currents are very strong especially in the stands with open backs at an altitude of 35-40 meters. For this reason, in the Goldsun CPH FOCUS device; we use reflector extension, grid and double electrode to cut the wind. Thus, we offer a comfortable environment to the fans in many events from football competitions to athletics races.”
