Hog Barn Propane Heating Equipment

Yes. All Combustion Research Corporation radiant tube heaters, including the Omega II, Reflect-O-Ray, Synergy, and Serengeti-IR series, are designed to operate on both natural gas (NG) and propane/LP gas. This makes them well-suited for rural hog barn facilities where natural gas supply is not available.

Combustion Research infrared tube heaters are engineered to deliver energy savings of 30–50% compared to conventional forced-air heating systems. Infrared heat is absorbed directly by animals and surfaces rather than warming ambient air, dramatically reducing fuel consumption. Some facilities report total energy cost reductions of up to 75% depending on prior system configuration.

Yes. All products in the Combustion Research lineup are CSA International Design Certified to ANSI/CGA Standards, with select models also compliant with ANSI Z83.20 / CSA 2.34. Electronic flame monitoring, 3-try direct spark ignition, 100% safety lockout, and pre-purge cycles are standard safety features across the product range.

BTU requirements depend on barn size, insulation levels, animal density, and climate zone. Combustion Research offers heaters ranging from 30,000 BTU/hr up to 250,000 BTU/hr. A heat loss calculation performed by a local representative can accurately size the appropriate system for your specific hog barn dimensions and local design temperatures.

Combustion Research offers a 10-year limited warranty on radiant tubes for internally created corrosion across all tube heater product lines. Select models also carry a 3-year warranty on burner controls and electrical components. The Synergy series carries a 1-year limited product warranty. All tube heaters are 100% factory tested before shipment.

It depends on the system type. Power-vented and vacuum-fired radiant tube heaters (Omega II, Reflect-O-Ray, Serengeti-IR) require exhaust venting to the outside. Synergy ceramic infrared heaters do not require direct venting, reducing roof penetrations. Local building codes and ventilation requirements for animal confinement facilities should always be consulted before installation.
