Microprocessor control and numerical model for broiler house summer ventilation utilizing a rockbed heat sink

Creator:

Chen, Chaur-Fong

Abstract:

Summer brooding often requires some form of air modification in addition to maximizing ventilation rate to prevent animal heat stress and possible death due to hyperthermia. A rockbed thermal storage module was designed and constructed to provide sensibly cooled air for a broiler space under summer brooding conditions. A mathematical...
