1 Energy Efficiency for Animal Housing Scott Sanford Sr. Outreach Specialist Developed by Kevin Janni & Larry Jacobson, U of Minnesota Hongwei Xin, Iowa State University Outline Ventilation 101 Energy Conservation Swine Poultry Dairy Questions 2 Ventilation means air must Be exchanged between inside and inside and outside Exit via outlets or exhaust fans Enter via inlets Have cause for airflow Wind Mechanical fans Natural wind and buoyancy Slight vacuum Natural Ventilation Mixing fans / Cooling fans No ventilation no air exchange Local air velocity and mixing Cooling effect in hot weather 3 4 Environmental Control Systems Provide correct amount of air exchange Fresh air and oxygen Remove moisture & gases Remove heat Maintain air quality Low Ammonia / dust Heating in cold weather Cooling in hot weather Goal - Uniform conditions throughout barn Ventilation Environmental Conditions Temperature Humidity Air quality Impacted by Number, age and animal species Manure handling Ambient temperature 5 6 1
2 Animal performance Proper ventilation management enhances: Animal performance Weight gain / egg production / feed efficiency Well-being / Health Respiratory diseases Avoid Too little or too much ventilation Wrong temperature Drafts un-planned air leaks Exhaust Fan Performance Relation between Airflow rate in cubic feet per minute (CFM) AND Static pressure in inches of water (in H 2 O) 7 8 Static Pressure Indicates what the fan must work against Pressure difference Measured with manometer SP for proper ventilation Typical static pressure: 0.05 to 0.12 in. H 2 O Air velocity needed feet per minute Slight vacuum Slotted Inlets Provide and manage inlets Into room Into attic Air Velocity Too low < 800 fpm Poor mixing Too high Drafts / lower air exchange Static pressure directly related to air velocity 9 13 Exhaust Fan Performance All fans are not created equal 2:1 difference in energy consumption for same size fan As fan diameter increases, fan efficiency increases Diffusers / Cones save 12-23% in energy cost HE fans ~ 20% higher energy efficiency Replacement Motors Efficiency??

3 Recommended Minimum Efficiency Fan Efficiency vs. Static Pressure Fan Diameter (inches) Recommended Min. Standard efficiency High Efficiency Efficiency cfm/watt 0.05" SP 0.05" 0.05" SP* Excessive SP * Based on fans in the top 25% of fans tested by BESS Lab Source: ASABE EP566.1 Energy Cost Caused by Excessive Static Pressure Layer barn with in (1-HP) fans running continuously. At SP of 0.08 WC, FE = 18.5 CFM/Watt At SP of 0.20 WC, FE = 12.3 CFM/Watt Fans running at 0.20 SP are 66% as efficient as running at 0.08 SP. Running all 80 fans uses 1,432 kwh electricity per day, or about $115 at the rate To achieve the same ventilation rate at 0.2 SP, only 66% of the fans are needed when running at 0.08 SP. Hence, electricity savings is $115*34% saving = $39/day or $3,510 per 90-day summer operation for the house. Stirring Fans Increase air velocity to promote cooling Reduce areas of poor air distribution 15 Circulation Fan Ratings BESS Lab testing ( Thrust efficiency ratio lbf / kw Centerline 5D Thrust is proportional to air flow Thrust Efficiency Ratio (lbf/kw) Circulating Fan Efficiency vs Fan Diameter " Fans 36" Fans 50" to 54" 12" Fans 20" Fans 24" Fans 30" Fans 48" Fans w/guard w/o guard Fans Ave Thrust Ratio Bottom 50% Top 50% Min Target Thurst Ratio Data Source: BESS Lab Compiled by S.

Determine the average air velocity through the house if cross or tunnel ventilation is used to ventilate the barn at 100,000 CFM air flow. Q V = Q = 100,000 CFM A For cross ventilation: A = 400 x 10 = 4000 ft 2 V = 100,000 / 4000 = 25 ft/min For tunnel ventilation: A = 40 x 10 = 400 ft 2 V = 100,000 / 400 = 250 ft/min Effective Temperature vs. Air Velocity for Broiler Chickens 68 Effective Temperature, F Air temp = 90F (250ft, 78F) Air Velocity, ft/min 69 Natural Ventilation Save Energy & Achieve Better IAQ It doesn t take much wind that blows in the right direction to meet the barn s air change need.
