“…Based on the calculation results for the heating panel capacity (Table 1) and physically modeling the heating process for the floor-mounted panel [33] with the application of thermoelectric Peltier elements, and with the account of the data reported in [42,43], an experimental sample of the floor-mounted heating panel power capacity 100 W for prenursery pigs has been manufactured in compliance with the technological block diagram shown in Figure 1. The heating panel operates in the mode of heat pump (Figure 4).…”

“…The control system of the floor-mounted heating panel maintains the temperature on its surface, in a stationary state, with a reasonable accuracy of ±0.5 °С. Based on calculation results of the floor-mounted heating panel parameters (see Table 1) and the physical modeling of the installation [33], as well as in accordance with the block diagram (Figure 2), an experimental sample of the floor-mounted heating panel for piglets was made using thermoelectric modules, operating in heat pump mode. The main values of the calculated parameters of the heating panel correspond to the results obtained during the experimental studies (Table 3).…”

“…At commercial agricultural enterprises, various gestation crate options were designed for breeding sow farrowing and their management with newborn prenursery pigs, in which a fixed location for the breeding sow is provided along with a heated area for prenursery pigs (heated floor, panels, or mats). Since relatively cheap and effective space-saving thermoelectric units and thermoelectric assemblies featuring the heat pump function have appeared on the market, it seems to be relevant and expedient to design an energy-saving installation for the local heating of prenursery pigs which, besides ensuring animal-friendly conditions for the young stock, will make it possible to reduce substantially the energy costs associated with heating local areas in sow houses [33].…”

Mathematical formulation of the animal thermal status has been developed, with the account of two convenience conditions and heat balance, for the floor-mounted heating panel for prenursery pigs. The borders of the heat flux variation range for the floor-mounted heating panel have been determined corresponding to the animal-friendly conditions for prenursery pigs of various age groups. The block diagram of the energy-saving floor-mounted heating panel, comprising the thermoelectric assembly operating in the heat pump mode, has been designed. The method has been described and the corresponding calculations have been made for the basic thermal parameters of the floor-mounted local heating installation, for prenursery pigs, with the application of a thermoelectric heat pump. The experimental installation sample of 116 W thermal capacity (for the heat transfer coefficient from 0.9 W·m−2·K−1 to 1.0 W·m−2·K−1 and floor temperature in the range of 5 °C to 6 °C) has been developed and manufactured for local heating for prenursery pigs managed in gestation crates. Laboratory tests of the experimental sample of the floor-mounted heating panel have demonstrated high energy efficiency of the heating installation under development. The energy-saving effect (approx. 15% compared to the series-produced equipment designed for local heating of young stock) of the developed installation was achieved owing to the partial heat recuperation of the exhaust ventilating air.
