Abstract

From over 400 uses of the ThermoNox system in various customer environments a wealth of experience has been accumulated. Additionally, extensive knowledge on using heat as an insect control method was gained through biological research over the last years. Collaboration with a number of engineers and plant constructors with regard to the suitability for heat treatments of buildings and different installations used in the food processing and other industries has confirmed the technical feasibility of this approach, within certain defined limits. Particular characteristics of thermal treatments in general and the ThermoNox system in particular are outlined, the efficacy as well as the limitations of the technology are shown based on theoretical considerations and practical key figures.
An outlook into the premises to a wider use of thermal methods in the future is discussed, as are opposing factors.
