Optimum climate in pigsties pays off.
Species-appropriate climate plays a decisive role in increase of performance. The low-pressure cooling system reduces temperatures during summer. We either make use of the pipes of already existing soaking units or we plan a combined cooling and soaking unit right from the start for new buildings. Cooling and soaking units are integrated into the system. Used for this purpose are nozzle combinations with cooling nozzles at the top and soaking nozzles at the bottom. They allow easy switching from soaking to cooling operation by turning a ball tap.
Depending on the local conditions it might be useful to install a separate cooling nozzle branch in addition to the soaking lines. In doing so the cooling nozzle is directly mounted to the nozzle sleeve. This solution is advantageous for farrowing pens where the number of nozzles can be reduced or in pens with gangway ventilation to cool down the supply air.
Efficient cooling at one-second intervals.
Special cooling nozzles generate fine mist which evaporates gradually. The required evaporative energy is taken from the air in form of heat what makes the air temperature fall.
The soaking and cooling control unit MBWeich 200 allows the user to preset temperatures at which cooling operation should start.
The integrated pressure release prevents dripping of nozzles. For this a magnetic valve opens for a few seconds and makes some water escape from the cooling pipe system. The pressure is then released and nozzles stop spraying immediately. This procedure allows short spraying intervals, such as 2 to 6 seconds spraying and 6 to 12 seconds break period.
