Cattle barn climate control
Separate systems only work together when one logic controls them. The climate controller reads the sensors and runs ventilation and cooling according to the set programme.
In a cattle barn
In a cattle barn the controller runs the fans and cooling on temperature and humidity.
Schematic, not to scale.
How it works
The programme takes the age or group of the animals and the season into account.
The controller decides when to add the next ventilation stage and when to start cooling.
The alarm system reports parameters outside the allowed range and failures so that staff can step in in time.
What it is made of
- Climate controllerRuns ventilation stages and cooling to a programme.
- SensorsTemperature, relative humidity, CO₂; the set is chosen for each site.
- Control panelsPower panels for fans.
- Alarm systemNotifications about deviations and failures.
What the calculation needs
If the data is sufficient, a preliminary calculation is possible before a site visit.
- Systems to be controlled
- Number of rooms or zones
- Existing equipment and controllers, if any
