Pellet boiler: how to buy for an industrial greenhouse

Pellet boiler or a modular solution for heating an industrial greenhouse

It must be said that our homeowners and farmers do not dare to buy a modern pellet boiler to heat the greenhouse. These are solutions for the household or industrial greenhouse. However, even for large enterprises, universal models of pellet boiler houses from foreign manufacturers are expensive and not effective. What is the peculiarity? First of all, in the features of heating the house and greenhouse. The requirements and implementation methods differ significantly.

Pellet boiler for home - what is special

Pellet boilers You can buy for water or air heating, hybrid solutions, as a rule, are expensive and are not in demand among our customers. It's all about the high cost of the issue and, again, the requirements for heating greenhouses. An industrial greenhouse is usually a winter greenhouse, glazed with double-glazed windows and installed on a ground heat accumulator.

Usually, foreign manufacturers offer ready-made greenhouse solutions designed for heating. It is enough to use just such a recommendation by connecting the automation. But if you are lucky enough to simply purchase a frame solution without heating, then you will need to approach the solution of the issue outside the box.

Make a heated ground battery

A ground accumulator implies the laying of a mineral material that insulates and accumulates heat. Usually, a 50 cm cushion made of rubble is enough, in which the water heating pipes will be laid. You can buy a pellet boiler in addition to solar collectors. This will help save even more on heating.

Software-controlled "warm floors" instead of a heat accumulator

An industrial greenhouse, like any production, is characterized by a large cubic capacity and losses of thermal energy in winter. In this case, air heating is effective, but the problem is also in heating the soil. It is not rational to use different heat sources (boiler and electricity) separately.

The universal solution - a pellet boiler with a water circuit

For this reason, a pellet boiler on a water circuit can be recommended for heating such greenhouses. It is connected to the system together with a heat accumulator, which distributes the energy of the coolant between "warm floors" and water heating. Water heating is connected to thermal fans.

Individual project for heating an industrial greenhouse

It should be noted that the lack of specialized boilers for heating industrial greenhouses is a manufacturer's flaw. It can be eliminated and the cheap thermal energy obtained from the combustion of pellets can be used. This will help to do pellet burner FOCUS... With its help, it is possible to assemble a mini-boiler room for pellets from individual modules using a conventional solid fuel boiler, burner and pellet hopper.

The solution will cost 2 times cheaper during operation due to the low cost of a kilowatt. The installation cost will also be less than foreign counterparts.

However, this is not the only solution. Boiler rooms for industrial greenhouses have their own characteristics. The combi boiler must heat the air and, at the same time, prepare a water heating medium for heating the soil. FOCUS offers individual design of boilers and boiler houses for industrial greenhouses, which will take into account all the technical features of a particular farm.

Universal solid fuel boiler from the FOCUS brand

In 2020, FOCUS began production of modern, unparalleled stainless steel solid fuel boilers that integrate with previously developed pellet burners. They can be used to heat industrial greenhouses and the entire farm. Boilers with a nominal value of 100, 200, 300 and 500 kW appeared on sale. Together with the pellet burner, they quickly adapt to pelleted fuels. So which pellet boiler to buy or a modular solution? A mini-boiler room with a built-in pellet burner will cost much less.
