ROSSI, Luiz A.; CARDOSO, Paulo E. dos R.  y  BERALDO, Antonio L.. Thermal evaluation of rice husk and cement mortar boards warmed by electric resistance. Eng. Agríc. [online]. 2005, vol.25, n.1, pp. 37-45. ISSN 0100-6916.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-69162005000100005.

An alternative proposal for floor heating system by means of electric resistance for both chick and piggy installation is presented in this work. Several formulations of rice husk and cement mortar boards were used. An electronic device controlled all board temperature. This system presented a good efficiency design. The conventional cement mortar mixed with rice husk showed a better performance.
