Sao Fuel-Powered Livestock Heater FAQ

FAQ on Using Fuel-Powered Livestock Heaters

1. What does a fuel-powered livestock heater use to generate heat? 

It heats through the combustion of diesel (or kerosene), and the fuel tank is located at the bottom of the machine.

2. Then why does it also need electricity? Does it consume a lot of power?

The electricity is used for the 220V fan motor, and it does not exceed 250W.

3. How much fuel does a fuel-powered livestock heater burn per hour? Is the data accurate?

For example, a heater with a thermal power of 20KW generally consumes 2-3.4 jin of fuel per hour.

4. Is the cost of using it all day very high?

Because the Sao heater heats up very quickly, the machine does not need to run continuously. When the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, the machine will automatically shut down. After the machine is turned on, how long it runs is greatly related to factors such as the insulation condition of the room and the heating area. The larger the area, the longer the heating time. The better the insulation, the shorter the heating time. Overall, the cost is not high.

5. How long can a fuel-powered livestock heater run on one refueling?

Generally speaking, a full tank of fuel can sustain 10 hours of uninterrupted operation. Users usually heat in stages, so the working time will be extended accordingly.

6. How much area can one machine cover? What if the area is very large?

One SA-50KW can heat an area of about 278 sq m. If the room is very large, multiple hot air heaters are recommended, which can ensure even heating.

7. What temperature can a room reach when using a fuel-powered livestock heater?

The equipment has a temperature adjustment button, freely adjustable from 5-55 degrees. Generally, we recommend not setting the thermostat temperature too high, to save on fuel costs.

8. Can the temperature of a fuel-powered livestock heater be controlled automatically?

After the heater is connected to a thermostat, it can control the temperature automatically. For example, if the thermostat is set to 25°C, after the room temperature rises to the set temperature, the hot air heater will automatically shut down. When the room temperature is at the set temperature, the machine will automatically start heating. This repeats over and over.

9. If a fuel-powered livestock heater burns inside a room, will it consume oxygen?

Combustion requires oxygen, and fuel-powered heaters are no exception. Through calculation and actual use, we believe that oxygen consumption is relatively small and will not affect the normal growth of animals and plants, but we still strongly recommend that you ensure regular ventilation.

10. Where does the exhaust gas go after combustion?

For direct-combustion heaters, the combustion exhaust is discharged together with the hot air. For indirect-combustion heaters, the combustion exhaust is discharged outdoors through a chimney.

11. Will the exhaust gas be harmful to piglets or chicks?

We have adopted advanced European combustion technology, which can ensure complete fuel combustion. The content of harmful gases in the exhaust has been reduced to an extremely low level and will not cause harm. However, we still recommend that you ventilate regularly.

12. How does this machine ignite? Is operation very complicated?

Ignition is electronic and automatic. The machine has only one start button. Press the switch and it automatically starts and heats up. Press the switch and the machine stops immediately. Operation is very simple. After connecting a thermostat, all operations are automatic. After you set the temperature for the first time, starting and stopping are all automatic. Fill the fuel once, and no one needs to watch over it.

13. Is it safe to use this machine?

This model has multiple safety protection devices, such as overheat protection, flameout protection, overcurrent protection, etc. At the same time, diesel itself is not flammable, and the machine's operating voltage and current are not high, so there is no danger. Please use it with confidence.

14. Does the machine break down easily?

In terms of the equipment principle, the machine does not have very high requirements for the environment and fuel, and it is relatively durable. With normal maintenance, it can be used for about 5 years.
