Vineyards frost protection

Electric Heating Solutions for Vineyard Frost Protection

Late spring frost can create challenging conditions for vineyards, particularly during early growth stages when vines may be more sensitive to low temperatures.
 
Electric vine heating systems can be integrated into vineyards as part of a frost protection strategy designed to support temperature management during frost events.
 
DEVI vineyard frost protection systems use electric heating cables installed along the vine support structure to provide controlled heat distribution across vine rows. The Electric heating systems are typically operated through temperature sensors and control units that activate heating cables according to predefined settings.

Designed for professional agricultural applications, DEVI solutions can be adapted to different vineyard layouts and operational requirements.
 

How Electric Vine Heating Works

Heating cables are installed along the support wire that runs parallel to the vines. The system is connected to:
  • Temperature sensors
  • Control units
  • Electrical power supply infrastructure
When measured temperatures reach the preconfigured activation threshold, the control system energizes the heating cables, delivering heat along the vine row.
System design and operating results depend on several factors, including:
  • Vineyard layout and row configuration
  • Local climate conditions
  • Vine variety and growth stage
  • Heating cable design
  • Installation method
  • Control strategy and operating parameters
 

Technical Characteristics

DEVI vineyard heating systems typically use pre-assembled heating cable elements supplied with:
  • Factory-fitted power connection leads
  • Sealed joints and end terminations
  • Project-specific cable lengths
Typical linear heating outputs range from 10 W/m to 20 W/m, depending on project requirements and system design.
