In-Bench Heating

In-Bench Heating for Cost and Energy-Efficiency 

A study published in California Agriculture by professors Bryan M Jenkins, Roy M Sachs and Glen W Forister showed that conductive bench heating systems used 25% less energy than conventional perimeter heating systems. This same bench heating system maintained even canopy temperatures around the plants and resulted in fewer hot and cold pockets. The study found that bench heating produced consistent output in and around the plants where it was needed most with less input.  

BioTherm’s radiant heating products can be fully integrated with existing greenhouse benches to direct heat exactly where it needs to go: the rootzone. Both out MegaTube and MicroClimate Tubing systems can be cut to match any bench length for seamless integration without needless waste. Not to mention, our hydronic heating system based around our RayPak boilers produces even, radiant heat best suited for in-bench distribution.
