Climate Control Systems for Poultry Production

Combustion Research Corporation's infrared tube heaters typically deliver 30–50% energy savings compared to conventional forced-air or direct-fired heating systems. This is achieved through targeted radiant heat delivery, precise two-stage or modulating operation, and S.E.C.-designed emitter tubing that maximizes output efficiency, reducing fuel consumption significantly across broiler, pullet, and layer operations.

BTU requirements depend on building size, insulation level, ventilation rate, and target temperature. Combustion Research offers systems ranging from 30,000 to 250,000 BTU/hr. The Omega II PEP 3.5 suits smaller brooder houses at 40K–100K BTU, while the Reflect-O-Ray 4.0 EDS covers spaces from 500 sq ft to over one million sq ft.

Yes. All systems are CSA International Design Certified to ANSI/CGA Standards and feature 3 Try Direct Spark Ignition with 100% Safety Lockout, electronic flame monitoring, and pre-purge cycles. Power-vented and vacuum-fired configurations safely exhaust combustion gases outside the building, maintaining air quality and protecting flock health in enclosed confinement environments.

Power-vented systems use a blower to push exhaust gases out through a vent pipe, making them well-suited for smaller brooder rooms and retrofit installations. Vacuum-fired systems use a central exhauster to draw combustion gases through the tubing, enabling longer tube runs ideal for large broiler houses and layer barns. Both configurations are available from Combustion Research Corporation.

Yes. All Omega II, Reflect-O-Ray, Serengeti-IR, and Synergy series heaters are available for use with natural gas (NG) or liquid propane (LP). This flexibility makes them suitable for poultry operations in both urban areas with gas infrastructure and rural locations dependent on propane delivery, with no compromise in heating performance or energy efficiency.

Combustion Research Corporation provides a 10-year warranty on radiant tubes for internally created corrosion across all Omega II and Reflect-O-Ray product lines. The Omega II 9K Series 0D9XXX and modulated models also carry a 3-year warranty on ignition controls and electrical components. Synergy series units include a 1-year limited warranty.
