Heaters Thermostat Placement
An additional feature of the indirect heater is that there is a thermoset option. So, it was placed out of the main path of the heated air and on the lower side of the structure since cold air tends to sink. There are two fans (black on in the image and a white horizontal air flow fan) running 24-hours a day to help continually mix the air so that there are limited cold or hot areas within the structure.
The thermostat is checked against an independent digital thermometer and is set for 52F. This is the lowest setting used to help ensure that the plant growth is not damaged by cold weather. Growth may be slowed at this temperature, but with the outside temperatures potentially being below freezing it can be a challenge for this heater to keep the area at maximum growing temperature.
Also, since the temperature never goes below this setting in the morning the area inside the structure is quick to heat up, which is why a large exhaust fan can be seen in the background.
