Orchard Heaters


Each year, approximately 5-15 percent of the world’s crops is damaged by cold temperatures.
Orchard heaters are commonly used in various areas of the world to prevent frost damage to fruit and fruit trees.
The use of heaters of various design, or lighting fires using various combustible materials are one of the oldest frost prevention systems.
There are several advantages to using heaters that alternatives do not provide. Most heaters are designed to burn fuel and can be placed as free-standing units or connected by a pipeline network throughout the crop area. Experience has however shown that a large number of small fires burning throughout the orchard provide better protection than a few large fires concentrated in spots. 
Traditional heaters have been found to be less user-friendly and can lose up to 85 percent of the heat produced due to radiation into the earth and sky (known as the "stack effect").
LPG's high heat content combined with the unique designs of modern heaters ensures that a greater percentage of heat to radiate directly into the crops, thus increasing the efficiency of crop protection.
