The air heating system of broiler house was use a gas air heater and equipped with rocks bed as the thermal storage medium. The study was conducted for the broiler house with the capacity of 30,000 chickens, which is a house with a size of 100 m x 12 m and has two floors, each floor with a capacity of 15,000 chickens. This study aims to determine the potential amount of savings the use of LPG and operating costs of heating chicken coops during the brooding period (2 weeks of starting the chicken farm) on a chicken coop that using the additional solar air heater and heat storage medium compared to air gas heater only. The study shows that the proposed heating system can save gas usage as much as 613.06 kg per harvest cycle. However, the proposed heating system requires additional electrical energy to operate the fan/blower, amounting to 700.66 kWh per crop cycle. The operational cost savings of the proposed heating system is IDR 6,066,358,-per crop cycle (the calculation basis as of November 2015).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Air heating system,Electrical energy,Harvest cycles,Heating system,Solar air heater,Storage medium,Theoretical study,Thermal storage[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]air heating system,broiler house,rocks bed,solar energy[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia thanks for financial sponsors in this study.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSEEA.2018.8627106[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
