2 Systema was founded in 1986 THAT’S WHY! and is one of the most dynamic companies on the heating and conditioning market. Systema is constantly looking at technology and evolution; this is the reason why the company cooperates with Universities and other boards to improve quality and in order to guarantee energy savings and products development. Leader both in Italy and abroad, Systema is well-known for the production of heating radiant systems and for its attention on energy saving. Our premises cover an area of 23.000 sqm with 7.000 sqm of industrial plants. Another area of 1.500 sqm is...

ADVANTAGES • Direct heating of the surfaces and of the animals under the radiation cone. • INFRA MC does not heat air directly. Air will be heated by the latent heat of the body of the animals, which are heated directly by infra-red radiations. • Zone...

4 WE RECREATED THE ‘SITTING HEN’ EFFECT: “INFRA MC” radiant systems convey heat exclusively in the zones under their radiation cone. In this way, thanks to a direct heating, the ‘sitting hen’ effect is reproduced artificially. Air is not heated directly, but is heated by the latent heat produced by the animals, which are heated by direct infra red radiations. Using this heating system, the animals looking for comfort will go under the radiation cone (the big "sitting hen"). HOW IT WORKS The technical principle of the radiant system INFRA MC is based on the homogeneous distribution of the...

6 Second phase: Air changes in the chick stall In this phase the air changes are assured by 2 suitably sized fans, fresh air enters from the little PVC tubes and mix with the hot air in the higher part of the shed, bringing it in the lower part (destratification). Garret Air intake combustion PVC Ø60 tubes Winter flap Burner Windbreak Air stratification indoor Air temperature= 27°C Cold air Air stratification on the floor Air temperature = 25°C Radiation cone – artificial “sitting hen” Comfort temperature (radiation)= 36°C Air temperature= 33°C Garret Air intake combustion PVC Ø60 tubes...

7 Fourth phase: max. ventilation In this phase the max capacity of air changes is required. A vacuometer measures the opening of the summer windows. Systema INFRA MC is lifted at the maximum height in order not to hinder the air flow.

Thanks to the flaps opening, the...

8 INFRA MC“A” SERIES INFRA MC FOR POULTRY APPLICATIONS • INFRA MC A series is used only for the heating of free animals on the floor with even temperature of 35/40°C ; • It is apt for the heating at high temperature of turkeys, guinea-fowls and all the other species which have difficulty of housing • The radiation on the floor on the length of the module is extremely uniform • Burners in battery at a distance of 9 metres one from the other • Max. 48 metres length of the radiant tube with five “Baf” in battery • Can be provided with lifting device for an artificial ‘sitting hen’ effect •...

9 INFRA MC FOR POULTRY APPLICATIONS INFRA MC“C” SERIES • INFRA MC C series is used only for the heating of free animals on the floor with uneven temperature of 20/25°C ; - It is apt for the heating at low temperature all animal species - The radiation on the floor on the length of the module is quite uniform - Burners in battery at a distance of 18 metres one from the other - Max. 75 metres length of the radiant tube with four “Baf” in battery - No lifting device - Every burner is independent and controlled by a probe situated at the same level of the animals.

10 A UNIQUE SYSTEM INDOOR OUTDOOR GEN80 HOT AIR GENERATOR: THAT’S WHY In the last years, the decisions of the poultry industry have focussed on breeds which allow high meat production. These breeds need great heat and many air changes not only during the weaning phase, but also after it. In winter, because of the adverse weather conditions (cold, humidity etc.) it is needed to heat the stall constantly, but in a diversified way, according to the age of the animals. In case of stalls where the space is heated using traditional systems like ceramic heaters with direct flame (prohibited by...

11 In this phase, the max air changes is required. Since at this stage the animals are grew up, the "sitting hen" effect is no longer needed. Therefore, INFRA MC will be off and lifted at the max height in order to make easier for the air blown by GEN80 to circulate. First phase: chick stall Second phase: max. ventilation In this phase a radiation cone is needed in order to re-create the ‘sitting hen’ effect. INFRA MC will be on with Comfort Temperature (radiation)= 36°C and Air Temperature = 33°C. GEN80 will be off, because it is not necessary to heat the whole shed. Moreover, the chicks...
