The Global Switch Point Heating System Market size was valued at USD 980 Million in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 1.33 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. A switch point is a mechanical connection and installation on rail lines that allows trains to be routed from one track to another.
The switch point is made up of a pair of connected tapering rails, also known as points, that lie within the diverging rails. If the switch is sealed or locked, any train approaching from one or the other side of the convergence point can pass immediately through the points at the narrow end, regardless of their location. Trailing-point movement refers to the transit of tracks past a switch point in such direction.
Switch point heating systems prevent snow and ice from accumulating on railway tracks and switches. Different sorts of heating technologies are used for switch point heating systems, depending on the available infrastructure and weather conditions in the region. Electric heating, gas heating, and liquid heating are examples of these methods.
Electric heating methods use resistance strip elements, while gas heating methods use infrared radiation and liquid heating systems use a CH boiler or ground heat. The main objective of installing switch point heating systems is to save railways and switch points and reducing accidents. These gadgets combine functionality with ease of insstallation, handling, and low power consumption, while also improving function and safety.
