Projeto de ventilação forçada para retirada de umidade em confinamento Compost Barn climatizado

Abstract

Confinement for dairy cattle emerged as an alternative for increasing the milk productivity, with Compost Barn as the system with the greatest application. Main goal is to provide the animals with a comfortable and dry place throughout the year. The handling The bed made of sawdust and wood shavings is the key to the success of the system. Seeking stability throughout the year, the producers implemented the HVAC system by evaporative plates using water in the process, thus ensuring the stability of milk production in periods of excessive heat. With this system the producers come facing a high humidity problem after prolonged use of the evaporative plates, being that moisture is transferred to the bed by the air. The project objective is a viable solution for growers to reduce bedding moisture by using forced ventilation with industrial fans.
