The theory is relatively simple.
Attic inlets poultry houses purpose.
Between flocks attic inlets can be used to help dry out damp litter as well as to help cook off some of the ammonia from the litter.
Attic air inlets are being installed in many poultry houses across the poultry belt.
Though attic inlets can lead to slightly lower heating costs the primary objective of an attic system is to maximize fan runtime which will lead to improved air quality and litter conditions.
The air that you and your chicken turkey etc.
The poultry houses are not currently under contract with an integrator.
Organic poultry house with sidewall eave and ceiling inlets.
These inlets allow growers to capture warmer attic air for minimum ventilation thus reducing heating fuel costs reducing relative humidity and improving litter quality.
Clean air is one of the most important parts of your poultry ventilation program.
Attic inlets tend to do a better job of conserving heat in a poultry house than conventional side wall inlets.
To put it in terms we all can understand woo hoo.
Attic air is typically warmer than outside air on cold days.
The large roof areas of dropped ceiling poultry houses make very good solar collectors so there is a large amount of heat readily available in the attic see the ther mal image below.
Attic inlets see figure below are used to recover solar heat from the atticof poultry houses.
Ventilation in your turkey or chicken house is a science.
Double l attic or ceiling inlets take warm air from attic to heat living area of poultry house.
Average turkey or chicken houses with poultry ceiling inlets are capable of being ventilated 20 percent more than houses without ceiling attic inlets on cold days without experiencing the 20 percent increase in fuel usage that one might expect.
The sun provides solar heat that gets trapped as heated air in the attics of dropped ceiling poultry houses.
Properly designed and functioning ventilation inlet openings are key for achieving comfortable fresh air conditions in farm animal housing.
Ventilation is important in animal structures for temperature and relative humidity control and for removal of gases dust odors and pathogens.
Attic inlets tend to do a better job of conserving heat in a poultry house than conventional side wall inlets.
Poultry houses have chore tronics 2 computers led lights attic inlets and a 70kw automatic generator.
By closing up the house and turning on a couple of 36 fans during the day attic inlets can increase the house temperatures from 10 to 15 degrees above outside air temperature figures 2 3 4 5.
By installing ceiling poultry inlets producers can capitalize on solar heat trapped in their attics and ventilate poultry houses more during the day.
