Abstract

Creating comfortable conditions for animals ensures their longevity and high productivity. Artificial ventilation, which includes supply and exhaust systems and a control system, minimizes the influence of the human factor on maintaining the indoor air parameters. The proposed system of indoor air-conditioning for the loose cattle housing layout was developed based on the analysis of ventilation systems of livestock premises and studies proving the effectiveness of dehumidification in winter using a regenerative heat exchanger. The system for providing indoor air parameters was developed using the computer-aided design program “Compass” (CAD) of the “Askon” company. The developed system for providing indoor air parameters for keeping cattle includes an electrofilter and a coarse filter, fans, a plate heat exchanger, a turbodefector; temperature, humidity, and air flow velocity sensors, dust collectors, a pump, a tank with a disinfectant, and a mechanism for shutting down supply air and recirculated air. The use of a recuperative dehumidification system at low outdoor temperatures helps maintain the relative indoor humidity within the regulatory limits (75…40%) and reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide by 20…45%. To ensure these indoor air parameters without dehumidification, 200 kW of thermal power is needed to heat the supply air. The proposed combined energy-saving all-season climate control system provides monitoring of indoor air parameters and energy saving through the use of a turbo deflector, disinfects the ventilation air, dehumidifies the air in the cowshed in winter and cools in summer, and also partially removes dust from the air with an electromagnetic filter.
