AGRICULTURE
Heat pumps and thermal batteries are increasingly considered important options for a range of primary producers that need heat for processing and cleaning and enjoy vast renewable resources but require reliability and heat and power on tap.
​
Heat pumps can significantly reduce power consumption by efficiently supplying heating and cooling for a range of farming applications, including:
-
heating of water for wash down and equipment cleaning
-
heating of animal rearing and accommodation
-
air-heating for drying produce
-
chilling milk and other products
