Fogging and mist cooling systems in animal husbandry

Cooling with finely sprayed water has a positive effect on animals and creates favorable working conditions indoors. Micro-droplet mist in hot summer weather contributes to the well-being of animals. The evaporation of water droplets can reduce the temperature in the room by 5-6°C. Pigs are sensitive to excessively high temperatures, and periods of heat can have serious consequences for their well-being and vital signs. With high-pressure mist cooling, the air in the room is saturated with microdroplet water mist. The water particles evaporate in the heated air of the livestock room, thereby cooling the air. High-pressure cooling with finely sprayed water can lower the temperature by 5-6°C, depending on the actual outdoor temperature and relative humidity.

Cooling with finely sprayed water is extremely useful during hot periods, since even with high air ventilation performance, in practice, outdoor temperatures above 30°C will result in reduced weight gain and increased mortality among animals. At temperatures around 24-26°C, animals begin to defecate on hard floors. At temperatures above 25-27°C in livestock buildings, there is a tendency for fewer piglets per litter and a deterioration in the quality of boar semen. Fine water mist cooling should be considered as an additional option for reducing the temperature in livestock buildings. In general, high-pressure water cooling can be used regardless of the type of ventilation used.

High-pressure fine water spray system – not just for cooling In addition to cooling the air in livestock buildings, high-pressure water spray systems have a number of other functions.

Soaking

Between batches of animals, the system can be used to soak dirt in the room. With the ventilation turned off, a thick mist of water dust will quickly soften the dirt stuck to various surfaces. This will greatly facilitate and speed up the cleaning of the premises.

Disinfection

The system is also suitable for disinfecting the premises. When using a fine spray system for disinfection, a significantly lower level of microorganisms is often achieved than when using only a high-pressure washing system.

The standard equipment of the irrigation system includes:

· High-pressure pump with electric motor

· Filters

· Pump control unit

· Safety devices (safety valves, solenoid valves)

· Solenoid valve controls

· Stainless steel pipes, connectors, elbows, and tees

· Humidity and temperature controller

· End ball valve

· Aerosol nozzles
