WAYS OF PROVIDING COMFORTABLE CONDITIONS IN LIVESTOCK COMPLEXES

Abstract

The microclimate in livestock buildings must meet all zoohygienic requirements. The ambient airflow must be uniform in order to prevent drafts. The analysis of the current state of heating and ventilation systems in agricultural buildings showed that the important factor in the design and use of such rooms is the application of energy-saving technical solutions to maintain comfortable conditions. The nature of the velocity field distribution in the area of the exhaust outlet allows the conclusion that the solution used is able to localize the convective component of the infrared emitter, which allows for better heat recovery from the exhaust air. This improves the energy efficiency of such a system. As a result of the studies, graphical and analytical dependencies were obtained to determine the rate of air intake through the outlet. These can be used at the stage of calculating the microclimate parameters for the premises of agricultural complexes.
