Stable heating in agriculture
During the construction of a new workshop on a farmstead in Bavaria, the heating system for the entire building complex was renovated and optimized. The three stables are spread out across the property, and the residential building is also located far away from the stables.
Small heating network
Therefore, the decision was made to install a wood chip heating system with a large stratified storage tank and the Smart Energy (PV) photovoltaic heating device in the new, centrally located workshop. During the summer months, Smart Energy (PV) generates enough energy to supply the small heating network with hot water at a temperature of approx. 30°C. Decentrally installed heat pumps (WP Max-Grid) raise the temperature in the individual stables to the required level, and the heat is temporarily stored in stratified storage tanks to cover possible peak loads.
During the winter months, the PV heating energy is not sufficient, so a wood chip heating system is used to supply all buildings centrally with heating water at a classic district heating level of approx. 75°C. The decentralized heat pumps do not operate during the winter months. The entire system is monitored and controlled by the ratiotherm central controller.
