Tricks that every greenhouse owner should know to reduce heater fuel consumption

Environmental conditions have a significant impact on reducing greenhouse heater fuel consumption. In addition to using a low consumption greenhouse heater, it is very important to pay attention to the structural features of the greenhouse. If inappropriate nylons are used in the wall and ceiling, heat loss will increase. This heat loss can be minimized by using double-glazed glass and multi-layered nylons.

Greenhouses with glass cover have the highest rate of penetration, and greenhouses covered with double-layer polyethylene have the lowest rate of penetration.

Heat loss occurs through the seams and cracks of the greenhouse, so insulation and the absence of these items in the structure will greatly help reduce greenhouse fuel consumption. Some of this heat loss is done through doors, vents or windows, and fans.

It is worth mentioning that providing light to plants is very important for their growth, and you should choose a material that plants can receive enough light, glass does this in a better way. You can also use special lamps to provide the required light.

In some greenhouses, radiant heat transfer through heated surfaces is also slightly influential in heat loss.

Blocking these items reduces heat loss by about 3% to 10%, and by using a low-consumption and standard greenhouse heater, the energy consumption of the greenhouse can be reduced by 40%.

When buying a low-consumption greenhouse heater, you should pay attention to the construction conditions, the condition of the greenhouse environment, the air conditions of the region, the up-to-dateness of the construction technology, product quality, high efficiency, and its standard.

Low-consumption greenhouse heaters usually have optimal and suitable dimensions and occupy less space than non-standard and high-consumption old heating systems.

Also, these low-consumption heaters have national and international certificates, including standard certificates and energy labels, patent certificates, non-emission certificates, warranty and valid after-sales services.

Transporting the low consumption greenhouse heater should be done carefully and avoid damage to the body and components. Installing a low-consumption greenhouse heater in the right place in the greenhouse is very important to increase efficiency. The installation should be done in a place with the most heating cover so that the space is used to the maximum and also the energy loss of that place is at its lowest level.

It is important to use it correctly and according to the manufacturer’s instructions in all the equipment, especially the hot air furnace of the greenhouse. Improper installation and operation of a low-consumption greenhouse heater will invalidate the warranty, wear out components faster, reduce efficiency and, as a result, increase greenhouse fuel consumption.

Annual maintenance and repairs of the low-consumption greenhouse heater increase the lifespan and also increase the efficiency of the product. This issue is very significant because if the greenhouse heater is not serviced, there is a possibility of failure in the cold season and loss of plants.

Proper maintenance of low consumption greenhouse heaters can reduce fuel costs by 20%. In the annual service, the device is clean, the thermostats are calibrated, the absence of leakage and the proper functioning of the components are checked.

The installation of the low-consumption greenhouse heater must be done by an expert technician approved by the company. The correct installation of the exhaust and the correct settings of the burner are important in order not to transfer carbon monoxide to the environment and for safety.

It is important to use the hot air outlet channels with the right height and the correct location of the greenhouse heater for more efficiency.

The gas pipe should be placed in such a way that it is not overheated. One of the important points is to test with a special spray or foam test and check the bubbles to make sure there is no gas leakage in the low consumption greenhouse heater. It is also necessary to make sure that the thermostats are calibrated and the safety valve works properly.

Any change in the low consumption greenhouse heater is not allowed unless it is done by authorized experts for special reasons.
