Twin-pipes heating system for pig farms

It is impossible to achieve an optimal climate during colder periods without a proper heating system. The most suitable system for room heating is the twin-pipes system. This system can be installed anywhere, inside the air channels, along the walls or under the ventilation ceiling. We will calculate the required heating capacity for you, per compartment, building, and if necessary, for the entire farm.

Due to the years of experience with the supply and installation of the twin-pipes heating system we are able to help you with all of the questions you have regarding this system. In the leaflet below there is more information about the installation and the pros and cons of this system.

It goes without saying that we are ready to answer all the questions you have. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Guidelines for the required twin-pipes
The basis assumption underlying this overview is that the buildings are well insulated and that the heat generated by the animals is sufficient to offset the building’s transmission losses. In this case, the Twin-pipes are only used for heating the ventilation air. Because the heat production of young animals is still only slight when they are first stalled in, additional heat will be required in the first weeks. This additional heating cannot be delivered with the quantity of Twin-pipes calculated below. If the aim is to heat the farm with only the Twin-pipe system, we recommend that at least 30% more Twin-pipes be installed. Additional heating needs must also be taken into account when a new facility is first put into use.

High heat emission
Due to the pipes tapered connection with the fins, heat is channeled to the fins with maximum efficiency. Our Twin-pipes consequently provide exceptionally high heat emission. The twin-pipes heat emission was tested by the German research center DLG. At a 70 °C supply temperature the standard twin-pipes heat emission is 230 Watts/m.
