Siroc Sterling™ space heater
Siroc Sterling space heater with closed combustion for poultry houses
Siroc Sterling™ is a space heater that runs on gas (1) with closed combustion (2) for tall poultry houses (3). In the center of the house, the appliance draws warm air from the attic, mixes it with outdoor air and releases the warm air at floor level. This vertical air circulation (4) results in a temperature difference between the attic and the floor of just 0.5 °C. This uniform heat distribution is unmatched in the sector. The combination of these four features makes the Siroc Sterling space heater unique on the market.
Convection heater that runs on gas for optimal heat distribution in tall poultry houses
You create a healthy living environment for your chickens because the emissions from the combustion — CO, CO2 and condensate — are carried away through a chimney. Due to the high quality of indoor air, you need less ventilation. The litter also remains dry, which is good for the health and animal welfare of the chickens.
Features of Siroc Sterling space heater
Vertical, uniform heat distribution: energy efficient through recuperation
a built-in fan draws indoor and outdoor air from the attic, heats it and releases it 1.1 meters (36 ft) above the floor with via outlets. The difference in temperature between the attic and the floor is minimal (just 0.5 °C or 32.9°F). This is a unique appliance with special properties for tall spaces: it heats the areas that need to be heated.
the heat produced is reused: the first flue draws in the outdoor air required for the combustion process and hotter combustion gases in the second inner flue heat up the incoming air. This recuperation will reduce your energy consumption.
this is one of the highest percentages for this type of heating. The combustion gases are carried away, which means you require less ventilation. The result? Savings on heating and ventilation costs.
Healthy microclimate for chickens = better results
the chimney carries away the residual CO, CO² and condensate from the closed combustion process. This means you need less ventilation to keep the indoor air clean, dry and low in ammonia. Siroc Sterling therefore improves the condition of the litter. The health and animal welfare of your poultry is improved.
the oxygen in the house is not used in the combustion process.
Easy to use and maintain
to guarantee a long lifespan, even with intensive cleaning.
the electronic components are housed together in a protective IP65 junction box which means you can use a pressure washer when cleaning.
the air guide ring on the suction fan results in an efficient air supply.
the inspection hatches on 3 sides make it very easy to access the heating appliance.
create space when clearing and cleaning a house. You can hang the space heater back at the correct height at the start of a new flock.
Safe and reliable space heater for poultry
an ionization protection cuts off the gas supply if the flame extinguishes or if the appliance does not ignite.
a maximum thermostat prevents the appliance from overheating.
