Why when discharging heaters IGM I hear a rumble from inside the heater? How is the proper installation of heating?
Answer:
Dear. Mr. Harja, thank you for the question. Audible rumbling of the heater IGM the property of the father is likely due to the use of an inappropriate regulator so that the gas pressure released damages the components in the heater.
The Regulator serves as a regulator of the heat generated. This heat can be adjusted according to the needs of the chicken so that if it is necessary to lower the temperature simply by lowering the scale of the regulator. In the market there are generally 2 types of regulators, namely regulators Low Pressure with gas pressure 0-30 mbar and Regulator High Pressure with a gas pressure of 0-2000 mbar. As for obtaining the best level of IGM efficiency, it is recommended to use a regulator with a pressure range of 50 – 150 mbar. If you use a Regulator High Pressure with the scale of the gas pressure that comes out is set to exceed the provisions of the heating block will emit a rumble because it burns so that gas consumption will be wasteful and its lifespan will not last long. It is also not recommended to use regulators Low Pressure for gas stoves because the frequency of heat emission will not be maximum and cause IGM not working optimally.
Heating installation/installation techniques are very important to note. In the installation of a gas-fired heater can be hung on the edge of the area chick guard (1/3 area of the edge) at a height of 100 cm from the surface of the cage floor with a slope angle of 15° towards 2/3 of the other cage area. This heating position can be moved every time the area chick guard expanded/widened. The installation of the heater at an angle of 15° here serves to spread the heat evenly over a larger area so that the chicks are scattered and reduce the risk of death from overcrowding. In addition, the heat generated is focused on the heated area and is not dissipated into other areas.
When the amount chick guard lot or gas supply using large tubes of LPG (12 kg), then the installation of heating can be carried out by parallel or series systems. But if the farmer uses a 3 kg gas cylinder, then each heater is connected directly to the gas cylinder. Try to place the gas cylinder with a heater at least 2 m away.
Must also be considered in terms of installation on the gas, make sure there is no gas leakage on the gas hose, hose clamps and LPG gas cylinders. If there is a pungent smell of gas, immediately check the origin of the source of the odor then immediately make repairs if there are damaged components.
Since it will be used for the first time, the number of heaters installed in each cage brooding period, must be adjusted to the capacity of each type of heater and the capacity of each chick guard. A firewood-fired heater, for example, can warm 500 chicks. While the gas-fired heater is able to warm up to 1,000 chicks.
To make it easier for farmers to use gas heaters, Medion has marketed IGM Starter Kit (IGM SK). With the purchase of 1 unit IGM SK, then the breeder will obtain 1 fruit Medion gas (IGM)inductor, 1 piece Regulator Indukan Gas (RIG), and a 4 cm gas hose. IGM is a gas-fired Chick heater that is effective in producing heat energy in the form of infrared rays. Advantages IGM namely fuel saving, stable temperature and focus, and service service free. The heat generated is in the optimal temperature range of chick growth, which is 30-35°C. While RIG a regulator medium pressure with an output pressure of 50-150 mbar, so it is very safe and fitting to the heating regulator enclosure. RIG designed with the maximum output of the regulator according to the specifications required by the enclosure heater. RIG equipped with a round gas output scale designed for only 1x round so that the output of the gas released can be adjusted according to the needs of the chicken so that if it is necessary to lower the temperature, it is enough to lower the scale of the regulator.
