In this case, the antifreeze tower must be combined with an integrated or remote heat source to inject heat into the circulating air stream and maintain the temperature above the critical threshold for buds. <\/p><p>To better understand the difference between these types of frost and their impact on vines, please consult our article dedicated to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ventigel.fr\/en\/preventing-spring-frost-damage-innovations-and-techniques\/\">spring frost<\/a>.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Materials and design<\/strong><\/h3><p>Modern frost protection towers are built from corrosion-resistant materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel or aluminum, to withstand repeated outdoor use over many years.
