Evaporative Cooling

Evaporative cooling is the easiest and most efficient way to create cooling. Our body rejects heat using the same method and through sweating (moisture evaporation from the skin). Evaporative coolers use different evaporative media to cool the air, of which the cellulose pad is one of the most efficient.

The cellulose pad consists of regular and wavy thin sheets with high wettability and water absorption properties and is saturated by chemical materials to increase strength and durability. The uniform and dense structure of the pad causes the air-water interface in the cellulose pad to be more significant compared to the aspen pad and the airspeed to be more uniform. These factors increase the cooling rate and prevent the entry of water droplets, dust and harmful respiratory bacteria into the airow.

Principles Of Cooling And Ventilation Of Poultry houses

Ventilation and cooling of the poultry houses are necessary to provide a favorable environment for poultry growth. The poultry house is ventilated for the following reasons:

Reasons for Ventilation:

Control of humidity levels
Provision of necessary oxygen for the poultry’s respiration
Maintaining bedding in suitable conditions
Removal of harmful gases produced inside the house
Providing optimal tempreture
Eliminating dust

Types of Ventilation in Poultry Houses:

Minimal Ventilation: in cold environmental conditions or when the flock is young
Transitional Ventilation: in mild environmental conditions or for flocks of medium age
Tunnel Ventilation: in hot environmental conditions or for older flocks
