Geothermal heating system GETS

poultry house

The GETS system uses ‘cheap energy’ from the soil and takes this into the barn. The unique combination of optimal heat exchangers, the appliance of a heat pump and the reuse of ventilation air make this system one of a kind. The GETS system enables cooling in the summer and heating in the winter, without any extra energy usage and high costs. The climate in the building improves because more and conditioned air is brought in. Advantages of geothermal systems Application of a geothermal system has many advantages. The use of fossil fuels declines and consequently contributes to a healthier environment. Less energy is used leading to lower energy costs. With the GETS system a saving of upto 70% on energy costs can be realized. At animal level the GETS system also leads to several advantages. The air is brought into the barn conditioned, leading to uniformity in quality and temperature. Animals have a better spread over the area so there is less stress. In buildings with the GETS system, the growth results are better and feed conversion is lower. Since the system also cools in the summer, heat stress is prevented. The overall living and working climate improves. GETS system The GETS system consists of horizontally placed water/air tube heat exchangers. These are placed in the walls of the barn and are connected to a system of tubes placed in the soil. In many cases the air is brought into the building through registervalves to a central corridor and inlets . Through the use of plastic parts the system is resistant to aggressive substances in the air and has a long lifespan.
