FREEZE PROTECTION
AGRICULTURAL TROUGH HEATING
A simple and reliable way to ensure outdoor animals stay hydrated
Application
Animal owners such as farmers and ranchers need to make sure
their animals have water to drink. Some of these animals spend a
considerable amount of time outdoors and have some sort of trough
filled with water. Owners need to make sure that the water is accessible
to the animals at all times and if the weather is extremely cold during
winter months, the water can freeze making it impossible for the
animals to drink and stay hydrated.
Solution
BriskHeat’s SRL/SRP silicone rubber heating blankets are attached to
the under side of the trough. They are easily installed and held in place
using the peel-and-stick adhesive backing. Temperature is controlled
using a TD101N automatic on/off temperature controller that senses
trough temperature. It will automatically turn the system on in cold
conditions and off when it’s warm, so there is no need for monitoring.
This system ensures that the trough doesn’t get too cold or too hot.
Increase thermal efficiency and further protect the heater using
Insul-EZ TM closed-cell (weatherproof) foam insulation. This foam
insulation comes in 48 in x 48 in (1.2 m x 1.2 m) sheets that can be
cut and shaped in the field with a box cutter or knife. They have a peel-
and-stick adhesive back for easy installation, an abrasion resistant
composite facing for extreme durability, and provide an insulating
R-value of 3.
Additional Uses
BriskHeat’s SRL/SRP silicone rubber heating blanket systems can be
used on tanks and vessels of all shapes and sizes to protect against
cold weather or maintain a desired temperature. The applications are
generally not restricted by tank size or shape, industry, or geography.
The entire system is weatherproof, does not require maintenance,
and is available in voltages up to 277 VAC. Additionally, the system is
grounded for safety.
