Heating of farms with wood pellets: installation pellet burner and its capabilities

In conditions of gas shortage, heating of farms is becoming an urgent issue that requires a well-thought-out approach. Cowsheds, poultry houses, pig farms, cattle and horse pens require inexpensive but sufficient heating in northern conditions. At the same time, it is important to comply with existing rules and regulations. Considering that farms belong to lightweight frame structures that do not retain heat well, air and infrared heating remain the most optimal solutions.

When choosing equipment, it is necessary to take into account not only the required heat supply per unit volume, but also heat surpluses generated by livestock and heat losses arising in cold weather. There are many solutions, including gas heating, but all of them are inferior in terms of economy to heating farms with pellet burners using granular fuels obtained from agricultural raw materials.

Thermal surpluses generated by livestock:

• cows - 470-870 kcal / sq. units;
• pigs - 175-375 kcal / sq. units

Heat without gas remains the most relevant. Refusal from blue fuel is a strategic direction in the formation of a policy of its own energy supply in the long term. This is especially true for remote objects located far from the main utility networks, like a farm.

Infrared emitters as a way to organize heating of farms

Many agricultural enterprises prefer gas-fired air heating using liquefied gas or infrared lamps. The absolute convenience of these types of heating is indisputable, but there is an alternative. Infrared emitters still cannot provide sufficient heat levels during the entire fall-spring and winter seasons. Also, these types of heat supply are very expensive.

Heating farms with pellet burners FOCUS

The most optimal option now is heating with wood or agro-granules. Especially for agricultural enterprises that can produce pellets themselves from available raw materials. To provide comfortable heating, you will need a standard solid fuel boiler with a flare pellet burner FOCUS, which, depending on the options, can be fully automated. Such a boiler works effectively with an air heater implemented in one way or another.

The possibility of installing a pellet burner in order to obtain an optimal heating of the farms at a cost-effective level has the following advantages:

• the use of any granular fuel without a significant decrease in efficiency due to the technology of volumetric combustion. The technology is "built" into the flare burner;
• the presence of a cleaning system like a pellet boiler, which can be performed manually or automatically, depending on options;
• the possibility of re-equipment of any type of boilers without structural changes;
• remote control wirelessly;
• installation of climate control.

At the same time, the cost of heating the farms is reduced by more than 60%. When self-manufacturing pellets, the enterprise becomes the cheapest type of modern heating.
