Application of alternative energy sources for heat supply of poultry houses

Abstract

There is a need for using an energy efficient infrared heating system in places where poultry are placed. Infrared heating systems, unlike other systems of providing microclimate in poultry houses, carry out local heating. In addition, infrared radiation positively affects on the body of the bird, especially on young animals. Due to the ever-increasing price of energy in the whole world, alternative energy is intensively developing: wind, solar, biogas, geothermal, etc., which indicates the relevance of developments in this direction. The article presents the developed system of heat supply for the poultry house with the integrated application of a soil heat exchanger for heating the tidal air and an infra-red heater for local heating of the bird's stay. The results of research of rational structural sizes of the module for poultry growing are obtained
