Heating systems An ideal temperature in every pig house

Ideal house temperatures have a substantial influence on the health and performance of pigs. Adequate heating systems are therefore a necessity in many climate zones. The goal is to maximise the heat output and to transfer this heat to the pigs in an optimum way while keeping energy costs as low as possible. Big Dutchman offers different systems for full-space heating or zone heating. The heaters can be fuelled by gas or oil, or use Let our experts advise you to find the ideal heating system for your pig house. Heaters with 100 % heat output for operation with natural gas or propane gas JetMaster...

JetMaster type P 80 for operation with fuel oil, mobile JetMaster type Connection values: 230 V, 50 Hz for all types Flame monitoring by means of a photocell JetMaster with flue gas exhaustHeaters with indirect combustion and low energy consumption JetMaster heaters with flue gas exhaust are available for operation with fuel oil, natural gas or propane gas. Due to the closed combustion chamber, the house air remains free of excess carbon dioxide and other harmful gases, as these leave the building through a chimney. The built-in fan provides a wide throwing range, so distributing the warm air...

Connection values: 230 V, 50 Hz for all types Gas connection: % inches For a targeted supply of heat Gas heaters are especially well-suited if it is necessary to supply pigs with intensive heat in a specific area and for a defined amount of time. The fact that these heaters do not require an electrical power supply is a great advantage. Hot water heaters continue to be very popular: they work without open combustion inside the house, which reduces CO2 concentration in the house and improves air quality. The objective is to maximise heat output. This is achieved by a radiator with a large surface...

1. Delta pipe and Twin pipe Ideally suited for diffuse fresh air systems Delta pipes and Twin pipes are especially well-suited for perforated air channels and DiffAir ceilings. They are made from alu minium and are operated with hot water, of which they require only a small amount, however. Thanks to their good thermal conductivity (heat output of 180 to 200 watts/m), they ensure constant room temperatures inside the house. These heating systems can also be used for pre-heating in the central aisle. The pipes are anodised for improved protection against ammonia. They are of comparatively low...

* at a flow temperature of 80 °C and a return temperature of 60 °C Connection values: 3-phase 400 V, 50 Hz Ideal for use in piglet rearing houses Piglets need much warmth, especially in the first days after their move to the nursery, so they adapt well during the critical post-weaning period. Ideally, the resting area should have a temperature of approximately 32 °C. In addition to traditional full-space heating, hot water zone heating is becoming increasingly popular for nurseries. The zones are created using a covering plate that is fixed at 70 cm to 80 cm above the slatted floor. The required...
