Air heating

Air heating in aquaculture is a method used to maintain a stable ambient temperature in aquaculture facilities such as hatcheries, greenhouses, or indoor fish farms. This system is essential in environments where external temperatures can affect water temperature or the well-being of aquatic species, especially in temperate or cold regions.
Function and Purpose
-
Heats the ambient air in culture areas (greenhouses, hatchery halls, production buildings).
-
Helps reduce heat loss from water by minimizing thermal differences between air and water.
-
Promotes better growth of fish and invertebrates by maintaining a stable, low-stress climate.
-
Enhances the comfort of staff and the efficiency of technical equipment (filters, pumps, etc.).
Types of Air Heating Systems
-
Electric or hot water air heaters
-
Gas or fuel oil hot air generators
-
Radiant heating systems (infrared)
-
Systems integrated with heat pumps
Common Applications
-
Breeding facilities (hatcheries) and juvenile fish production units.
-
Aquaponic greenhouses and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).
-
Tropical species farms, where constant warmth is required.
-
Fish farming buildings in cold or seasonal climates.
