Ventilation system design for agricultural buildings
Ventilation systems must meet several criteria to ensure long-term performance and compliance with relevant regulations and standards. Requirements vary depending on livestock type, age and body weight, or type of storage products, which means the facility’s intended and future use must be defined early. Local weather conditions and global warming trends must also be considered. The system must be designed with sufficient heating and cooling capacity to handle extreme climates.
Key characteristics of optimal agricultural HVAC systems
Warm seasons require high air volumes to effectively manage humidity, temperature, and odours.
Every part of your facility, from livestock pens to produce storage areas, must receive sufficient and even airflow. This ensures consistent temperature and humidity across the entire space.
Livestock and stored agricultural products perform or preserve best within their specific, optimal temperature and humidity ranges.
Agricultural operations naturally produce gases that affect productivity.High levels of carbon dioxide can reduce ambient oxygen levels without proper ventilation. Ammonia, methane and hydrogen sulfide are gases that are produced by manure that, in high concentrations, negatively impact livestock productivity and compromise working conditions.
Fans for HVAC ventilation systems in agricultural buildings
Agricultural buildings must provide optimal conditions for livestock well-being, productivity and product storage conditions.
Effective ventilation is key, and axial fans are the widely recognised solution in agricultural facilities due to their excellent energy utilisation.
NOVENCO Building & Industry develops axial flow fans that are at the forefront of energy and cost efficiency, making them the ideal choice for these demanding environments.
Optimal ventilation performance
Achieving optimal performance and energy savings hinges on strategic fan selection and implementation.
Correct fan sizing
While larger diameter fans are generally more efficient than smaller ones, using an oversized fan can increase the total cost of ownership. Precision sizing is key.
Choose energy-efficient fans
Performance varies significantly between fan types. Fans equipped with diffusers or cones offer notably higher efficiency.
