Heating of poultry houses with infrared radiators

Example of heating poultry houses with infrared radiators

Facility

Poultry houses of Vinnytsia Poultry Farm LLC (MHP), Ladyzhyn, Vinnytsia Region.

Installed equipment

Gas infrared radiators with Destratifier Infra BAF Des – 60 units.

Information about the facility

• Poultry houses 120mx21m.
• Each poultry house is equipped with twenty Infra BAF Des infrared radiators with a heat output of 28kW.

Configuration of the Infra BAF Des infrared radiator

A gas burner is installed at the beginning of the radiant tube. The combustion air is supplied by an axial fan, which is also a destratifier. Flue gases do not escape through the radiant tube, but remain in the room. As a result, high efficiency is achieved and the concentration of flue gases does not exceed the permitted level.

Infra BAF Des is a heater which is a cross between a gas gun and an infrared heater. This design combines the advantages of two types of heating – infrared and air.

• 70% of the heat is transferred by the infrared component
• 30% of the heat is transferred by the convection component.

The emitter is suspended from the ceiling of the poultry house and heats the bedding and chickens with infrared radiation.

At the same time, an axial fan in the burner block supplies combustion air into the radiant tube and simultaneously blows over the radiator removing additional convection heat from the radiant tube.

The direction of the warm air from the fan can be adjusted, either by blowing warm air onto the walls of the poultry house or onto the bedding.

Operation of these heaters in the poultry houses of the Vinnytsia poultry farm demonstrated the following advantages:

• Gas savings of 24% as compared to gas guns;
• Electricity savings of 30% as compared to gas guns.
