Abstract |
This work was performed to study and develop a suitable air condition control system for a closed-system henhouse. The
size of the henhouse, 14 m × 120 m × 4 m, was selected to study the air conditioning. A multi-inlet unit with a cooling pad was installed
at the middle of the henhouse wall in order to decrease the air temperature difference between the front and rear of henhouse. This unit
is called a “Bus Windows System (BWS)”. From testing, it was found that the temperature difference between the front and rear of the
henhouse had decreased from 5-6 degree Celsius to 2-3 degree Celsius. This decrease was due to the fresh, cool air from the BWS
which entered and mixed with the hot air in the henhouse. The result also showed that the velocity profile was more uniform than before
the addition of a BWS. The increased ventilation rate reduced the accumulation of ammonia in the henhouse from 7-10 ppm to 0-2 ppm.
Furthermore, from the viewpoint of production, the productivity was significantly increased to a level higher than that of the standard
production. However, after using BWS, the relative humidity increased about 10%. |
