How to maintain the concrete temperature in
summers?

As summer season arrive, need to keep concrete
cool increases due to weather conditions. Harsh
temperature can leave a great impact on reaction
rate. In the case of higher temperature reaction
rate will be higher too. This fact is evident
when cement hydration gets faster bonding between
cement grains got weaker. There are several
approaches available for sustaining its
temperature by in this blog I am going to let you
know some of the possible solutions for keeping
it chilly according to temperature conditions.
Lets have a look
3
Use Cold Water
One possible solution is to put cold water on
concrete when you will do this temperature would
be decreased gradually about 5 to 10 degrees. As
per accurate figures if you will use 700 gallons
of cold water per minute then it will cool down
500 ton of concrete to approximate 25 degrees.
This approach wouldnt be expensive.
4
Use Mechanical Chillers
Somehow mechanical chillers help you out to cool
down concrete. This can be an expensive method,
but it would be appropriate when you need to
chill a large amount of concrete. Coolers
required adequate water storage capacity, with a
water distribution drainage system, high volume
pumps for chilled water flow. You may have seen
these coolers used for onsite concrete pump so
you can hire across the London or anywhere you
want to chill the concrete for your building
projects
5
Use Ice
Just adding ice to piles of concrete can lower
down its temperature but it can be problematic
for handling and storage. Its impossible to
figure out the exact amount of ice which is
required to chill the concrete.
6
Use Liquid Nitrogen
Liquid nitrogen is a combination of three
chemical components, and it would be used to cool
batch water. This liquid is used to cool the
cement, and it is ideal when you need to reduce
the temperature of the bulk of concrete. When
liquid nitrogen reacts with water, it evaporates
and starts the cooling process.
7
Use Heat Pumps
Heat pumps that may cool or heat up the concrete
through controlling batch water temperatures.
This wouldnt be expensive because it is using
electricity as a supplemental energy. Heat pumps
can utilize water sources like lakes, rivers they
can even use the air as primary power source.
Heat pump systems attach to batch water storage
tank where the thermostat is used to regulate the
temperature.

conclusion
  These are some basic remedies which are being
used to cool down concrete. You can have such
concrete pumping solutions by the renowned brand
who would let you know how to maintain its
temperature chill in summers. These solutions are
also valid but some of them are inexpensive, and
other ones are hard to adjust to the cost so it
would be tough for you may be to add with the
cost of your construction. Well, experienced
professionals would have some latest machinery
and technology as well to keep the temperature
chill in summers.
