Efficient
Greenhouse Heating
BioTherm heating systems
BioTherm Tubing
MicroClimate Tubing
With your crop placed close to or on
top of the MicroClimate system, heat
is efficiently conducted to the roots.
Because of MicroClimate’s small
size, tube spacing can be condensed
delivering maximum heat to even the
smallest container sizes. We also offer larger diameter Mega Tube tubing
which is ideal for larger containers or areas.
BioTherm Piping
DuoFin
DuoFin provides incredibly even heating
across the width of your greenhouse
growing areas. Its unique tapered fin design
delivers a combination of convective and
radiant heating quietly and efficiently.
Having only two fins means that more
loops are needed to meet your heat load,
but it also means you will never have to
clean debris from the fins. The large inside
diameter means less pumping energy is
required to provide greater evenness.
SunFin
BioTherm SunFin is a high-output, radiant heat finned pipe made
specifically for various greenhouse heating applications. Manufactured
completely from aluminum, BioTherm
SunFin pipes do not rust in growing
environments. They are lightweight,
so they can be stacked as perimeter
heating without overloading the structure
and hang easily for top heat and snow
melt applications. BioTherm SunFin is
available in 12 foot lengths, with custom
lengths available upon request.
CO 2 System
CO 2 levels are...
naturally low in a greenhouse environment. Adding
CO 2 encourages plants to better photosynthesize and
promotes growth and health. With the right boiler
system in place, a BioTherm CO 2 System can be easily
added. CO 2 is pulled directly from the boilers exhaust
gases and disbursed into the greenhouse, while ensuring
other harmful gases are at a safe level.
GreenPEX TM Tubing
GreenPEX is a cross-linked
polyethylene extrusion
(“PEX”) with optional oxygen
barrier that we’ve developed
specifically for the greenhouse
industry. Cross-linking
makes it a durable product and has become the standard for slab
heating across a wide variety of industries because of its excellent
performance and code compliance. Where code compliance isn’t
required, we offer HDX tubing - our economical agricultural
solution without compromising heat delivery performance.
StarFin
BioTherm StarFins tapered sixfin
design has three times the
surface area of two-fin designs
or 51 mm thin-wall steel
tubing. This increased surface
area produces high heat
output, allowing lower water
temperatures to be used while producing soft, gentle greenhouse
heat. High heat output cuts installation time and labor because fewer
pipes are required to meet the heat load.
Vertical DuoFin
The vertical DuoFin is
commonly designed to rise
as crops grow and using
lower water temperature,
heat is provided where the
plant needs it most . The
vertical DuoFin is great for
tall crops such as tomatoes
and cucumbers. It provides
a heated pipe in the crop
where flowering and fruiting
occur ensuring optimal growth.
