Infrared heaters for henhouses: how to choose a model

There are several ways to heat the chicken coop: gas, furnace and electric. The acquisition of the gas boiler will pay off only for large farm house. Furnace heating implies the presence of fuel (wood, coal) and the constant control. Acceptable option is heating electric heaters, but we should remember that it is quite expensive type of heating equipment.

Choosing which Convection heaters or infrared better for the house, you must take into account the energy efficiency of appliances. Infrared heat sources contribute to electricity conversion into heat almost lossless. In addition, heat from infrared radiation will accumulate directly in birds location area, rather than rise to the ceiling, as when using the convector.

Not the last role is played and the security of the use of infrared heaters in the house: thanks to the fact that the devices are attached to the ceiling, there is no risk of contact with birds of equipment. For small private poultry houses is quite suitable heater BiLyuks B800 series AIR Russian production. Device lacks the capacity of 0.7 kW for heating 8-14 m² at power consumption of 0.2 kw.

Which is better: heaters or infrared heaters

Comparing infrared and convector heaters, it should be noted the main advantages and disadvantages of each species. The advantage of convectors is heating the entire room, but this principle can be attributed to the lack of such a heater. After all, there is always a risk of loss of heat flux through tightly closed doors and windows, and, as a consequence, the room will be enough to warm up.

In this sense, convector heaters are suitable for heating a small sealed room as much as possible. After switching on, the room warms up quickly, but due to the low surface temperature of the device, oxygen from the air is not burnt. In addition, accidental contact to the device safe for humans, which allows its use in children's rooms.

Unlike convector, infrared heating effect locally, consuming energy only for heating of the specific location. Due to this, the entire consumption of energy will be converted into heat, which contributes to rational energy consumption. This feature is successfully used by companies with large premises area, when it is necessary to create a comfortable work areas. Spot heat is directed only at a specific place without heating the entire room that is economically feasible.

Another advantage of infrared models to the convector is the localization of heat in the desired location. The radiant energy of the infrared devices acts directly to the desired area, while using the convectors is likely cluster of warm air under the ceiling of the masses. The space in which the person is not enough to warm up.

Comparing the two types of heaters, we would like to note the low weight and compact dimensions ceiling-wall household electric infrared heaters, their simple and affordable for each installation. Thanks to modern design in various colors, appliances fit harmoniously into any interior, without taking up too much space and the remaining almost invisible.
