Abstract

A low pressure, low air volume system for heating and drying concrete walls in a damp environment is disclosed. A wall unit consisting of a wall panel (10) having a plurality of vertical grooves (14) and ridges (16) formed in a back surface, the ridges in contact with a concrete wall surface and the grooves forming a plurality of air channels in contact with the surface of the wall, ducts heated air across the concrete surface of the wall, evaporating moisture migrating through the wall. An upper and lower plenum (20) connect the air channels of the wall unit with a remote system consisting of a dehumidifier (50) and discharge pump (60), heating element (70) and fans (40) for moving air through the system, the dehumidifier removing the moisture from the air before recirculating it through the system.

Claims (8)

1. A heating and drying system for heating and drying walls in a damp environment comprising:
a wall system, said wall system further comprising:
sheathing means for sheathing a wall surface, and air channeling means for channeling air along said wall surface;
