3 types of ventilation equipment for chicken coop

Chicken coop fan and wet curtain are commonly used cooling equipment for chicken farms, understanding the knowledge of chicken equipment can help farmers to better ensure a good ventilation environment for chicken farms.

Chicken coop fan and wet curtain general knowledge

1. Chicken coop fan wet curtain calculation is more complex, in principle, requires 1 minute chicken coop air can be exchanged at least once, and the area of the air inlet is at least 2.5 times the air outlet. According to this theory and practice, generally speaking, every 2,000 chickens in a hen house need a 1380 fan (1.1 kW motor, rated power 52,000 m3/hour) 1, corresponding to a wet curtain area of 6 to 8 square meters.

2.When the number of fans is sufficient and the wet curtain area is insufficient (this situation is the most common): fan resistance increases, individual fan fan blades can not be fully opened in a semi-working state, easy to burn the motor; wet curtain is subject to increased pressure, wet curtain facing the chicken coop convex into; as the air in the chicken coop is quickly discharged and the air intake is insufficient, the chicken coop appears negative pressure hypoxia state.

As the chickens become poor in body condition due to lack of oxygen, there is an inexplicable decrease in egg production performance and it is difficult to find the cause.

Solutions:

• the two must match;
• increase the wet curtain on both sides of the wet curtain end (do not advocate adding wet curtain from the middle, which will reduce the cooling effect due to the short circuit of the incoming wind);
• for those who cannot increase the wet curtain, they would rather open the fan less; fourth, when high temperature and high humidity require more fans, the fan end can be properly opened with a certain gap of the window incoming air.

3.Automatic spray cooling equipment: It is mainly composed of water tanks, pumps, filters, nozzle spray pipes and automatic control systems. Automatic spraying equipment, in addition to spraying water cooling, but also in the water to add a certain proportion of disinfection and sterilization drugs, formulated into a corresponding concentration of liquid, the chicken coop spray disinfection, or with chicken disinfection, so that not only to prevent heat and cooling, but also disinfection and sterilization.

With these ventilation and cooling equipment, the chickens can spend the summer comfortably.

You can combine the actual needs of chicken farms and choose a suitable ventilation and cooling equipment for chicken farming, so as to ensure a healthy and hygienic chicken coop ventilation environment.
