With a heat exchanger exhaust air is used to warm up intake air, without mixing the air. The system contributes to a uniform distribution of intake air across the building. With a heat exchanger improved results are achieved and the use of energy is reduced upto 70%. The extra long plates in the exchanger enable these efficiencies. Buildings with heat exchangers also have better results in terms of growth, less medication, less fall-out and and improved living and working climate. The AIR2-DS also meets the Dutch BWL-standard for broilers farms.
Advantages of heat regaining
Less energy usage and lower costs of energy are important advantages of the AIR2-DS. The heat exchanger also contributes to a uniform climate, with an optimal temperature and humidity. Through this even distribution of air across the building, with a minimal draught, the animals are more evenly distributed across the entire room. The animals are calmer and animal stress is reduced. The growth results are better, there is less feed conversion and the use of medication is reduced. There is less fall-out and risk of disease decreases. Lastly, large differences in temperature, for example between day and night or during winter time are minimized too. It is possible to ventilate more during colder periods, thereby keeping the air quality optimal.
