Heating systems Ideal temperatures in every pig house

The correct indoor temperature has a substantial influence on the health and performance of your pigs. Adequate heating systems are therefore a necessity in many climate zones. The overall goal is to maximise the thermal yield and to transfer it to the pigs in the best possible way to keep energy costs low. Big Dutchman offers several different heating systems for full-space or zone heating. The heaters can be fuelled by gas, oil or hot water. Please let our experts advise you to find the ideal heating system for your barn! JetMaster Heaters with 100 % heat output JetMaster is a tried and...

Connection values: 230 V, 50 Hz for all types. Flame monitoring by means of a photocell JetMaster heaters fuelled by oil have a new Parker solenoid valve. Oil for combustion only flows when this valve opens. Gas radiators For a targeted supply of heat Gas radiators 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 gas radiators do not require a power supply is a great advantage. Hot water heaters continue to be very popular: they work without open combustion inside the barn, which reduces...

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

The H series HeatMaster models are either suspended along the side of the building at the height of the fresh air inlets or mounted by wall brackets. The main components of our HeatMaster heaters are a fan and a system of stainless steel fins. The heaters are easy to clean with a high-pressure cleaner and resistant to corrosion. The built-in fan provides a wide throwing range and distributes the warm air ideally in the barn. The advantages: ✓ the throwing ranges are very wide; ✓ no flue gases reach the air in the barn; ✓ a great variety of fuels can be used; ✓ there is no open flame in the...

Zone heating 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 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 to 80 cm above the slatted floor. The required dimensions of the cover depend on the number of piglets and the depth of the pen. A deep lip of...
