Heating and Cooling Systems
Heating: Heat Wagon HVF 110 Indirect Heater
This is used as the main heat source for the structure and it can keep the interior environment up to 25-degress F above the outside temperature burning under 1-gallon a diesel an hour of actual running making it very efficient. Also, the exhaust ducting has been increased in length to help ensure that as the hot exhaust gases are directed out and away from the growing environment some of the heat is given back to the structure to help increase efficiency even more.
Cooling: 42” Dayton Outdoor Mobile Air Circulator
This fan is on a thermostat that comes on when the temperature inside reaches about 85F. The vents are on motors and they also open to allow for a lot of air movement through the structure. On cool spring days the system is able to keep the inside temperature at the optimum level which aids in plant growth and increasing soil temperature as well.
