Farm building evaporative cooling pad Aerocool

An Aerocool system reduces the incoming air temperature by some 6-12 degrees and under ideal circumstances even more. This modular system consists of customised panels that, when assembled, creates the housing for the pads. The upper part has a water supply line with holes, while special guides divide the water across the pads. The lower part bears the pad and is at the same time the tank gutter for the water. The thickness of the pad is usually 15 cm. The water is being pumped to the top of the pad and the airflow evaporates the water and lowers the air temperature. Fans draw the cooled-off air through the building and the aim is to reach an air speed sufficient to lower the feeling temperature for the animals as well as to remove the heat they produce. Pads are mostly installed at the one end of the building, while the fans are at the opposite end. Tunnel ventilation is applied, as soon as the temperature reaches 29°C. The water pump starts and the cooling begins. The highly efficient “Aerocool” panels are easy to install and control. Pads are very effective in dry climatic conditions.
