Farm building evaporative cooling pad

Pad cooling systems improve the living conditions in your house. The risk of heat stress in the house increases with high outside temperatures. Heat stress occurs when high temperatures and high humidity prevent an animal from regulating its own body temperature. This impacts on animal health: pad cooling offers excellent functionality to keep the animals in their comfort zone and prevent heat stress. So that your animals feel comfortable and show uninterrupted growth in all conditions, even at full occupancy and with extremely high outdoor temperatures. How does Fancom pad cooling work? The pad cooling system utilises the cooling effect produced by water evaporating in warm outside air. The incoming air is drawn through a plastic pad, which is kept wet, installed in front of the air inlet. A pipe above the pad distributes the water flow evenly so the entire surface area of the pad is moistened. As the water passes through the cooling pad, it will partially evaporate. During this evaporation process, heat is extracted from the air, lowering its temperature. At the base of the pad, the water is collected in a chute and circulated for reuse. The pad cooling system can easily be applied in combination with Fancom'sclimate systems for pig and poultry houses. Controllable cooling capacity makes Fancom Greenline pad cooling unique The system consists of a plastic cooling pad (FCP-150) with a large evaporative element made of finely meshed polypropylene, as well as a special deflector and a ‘Fancom controller’. The special deflector ensures that water is well distributed over the pad so the available cooling capacity is fully utilised.
