Smart Cooling Solution for Dairy Farm

In dairy farms, high temperature and high humidity can seriously affect the health and milk production efficiency of dairy cows. Therefore, temperature and humidity control are of utmost importance. Through the overall solution of ventilation and cooling + dehumidification, the coordinated use of HVLS fans, air conditioners/coolers, and dehumidifiers can effectively achieve this and improve economic benefits. The following are the core advantages and implementation points of this comprehensive solution:

Coordinated temperature and humidity control: ensuring cows’ comfort and health

CorTec HVLS fans enhance air flow

CorTec HVLS fans can cover an area of more than 1,500 square meters, forming a three-dimensional circulating airflow, accelerating the diffusion of air conditioning cold air or dehumidifier dry air. For example, in high temperatures in summer, the fan pushes the ground moisture upward and discharges it, and cooperates with the evaporation and cooling of the air cooler to control the humidity of the cowshed below 80%, avoiding the loss of appetite and milk production caused by excessive humidity in cows.

Precise temperature control of CorTec air conditioners/air coolers

CorTec Air coolers: Cooling through the principle of water evaporation, the power consumption is only 1/8 of that of traditional air conditioners, and it is suitable for open cowsheds. Its ventilation function can reduce the concentration of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, and reduce the risk of respiratory diseases.

CorTec Industrial Air conditioning: Applicable to precise temperature control in closed areas (such as milking rooms), especially in extremely high temperatures, it can stabilize the temperature within the suitable range for dairy cows (15-20℃) to avoid metabolic disorders caused by heat stress49.

CorTec Dehumidifiers adjust humidity in a targeted manner
In rainy seasons or areas with limited ventilation, industrial dehumidifiers can quickly reduce humidity from more than 90% to less than 70%, inhibiting the growth of mold and pathogenic microorganisms.

Energy saving and consumption reduction: Optimize equipment operation efficiency

01

Reduce the load of a single device
CorTec HVLS fans consume only 1.5 degrees of electricity per hour, and their enhanced air flow can reduce the operating frequency of CorTec air coolers and air conditioners. For example, after the fan accelerates the air flow, the air cooler can achieve uniform cooling without continuous high-power operation, reducing overall energy consumption by 20%-30%.

02

Heat recovery and seasonal adjustment
In summer: air coolers and fans work together to cool down and reduce the use of air conditioners; dehumidifiers deal with high humidity problems and avoid high-energy consumption modes that rely too much on air conditioning dehumidification.
Winter: Fans circulate the upper warm air generated by air conditioning to the ground, reducing heating energy consumption.

03

Green technology adaptation
Some systems recover air conditioning waste heat through heat pumps and use them for dehumidifier regeneration heating modules to achieve energy recycling and reduce carbon emissions

Disease prevention and production performance improvement

Reducing the incidence of diseases

Humidity control (≤80%) can reduce the risk of hoof disease, mastitis, and arthritis in dairy cows. The three work together to reduce the transmission rate of pathogens by 3-8%.
The ventilation system reduces the concentration of harmful gases (such as ammonia), improves air quality, and reduces the probability of respiratory infections 78.

Increase milk production and quality

The appetite and rumination ability of dairy cows are enhanced under suitable temperature and humidity, milk production is increased by 10%-15%, and the milk fat rate and protein content are more stable.

Double comfort for workers and cows

The CorTec air cooler provides natural fresh air to avoid the closed environment of traditional air conditioning; the breeze circulation of CorTec HVLS fans reduces the feeling of stuffiness, reducing the heat stress of dairy cows and the risk of heat stroke for workers.

Economic Benefits and Long-term Value

1

Reduced operating costs: The initial equipment investment is high, but coordinated operation can reduce maintenance costs and energy consumption. For example, after the transformation of a ranch, the annual energy saving rate exceeded 20%, and the benefits brought by the increase in milk production covered the equipment cost in just 2 years.

2

Reduced cargo damage and medical expenses: Stable humidity can prevent feed mold and drug failure, while reducing the cost of treating dairy cow diseases

Technology Trends and Intelligent Management

Future development directions include:

Internet of Things linkage: Automatically adjust the equipment operation mode through temperature and humidity sensors, such as starting the dehumidifier when the humidity exceeds the standard, and linking the air cooler and fan when the temperature is high.

Green energy integration: Combine solar energy systems with air coolers and dehumidifiers to further reduce carbon emissions.

Conclusion

The coordinated use of CorTec fans, air conditioners/air coolers, and dehumidifiers provides dairy farms with efficient and sustainable environmental management solutions through precise temperature and humidity control, energy consumption optimization, and disease prevention. This model not only improves the welfare and milk production efficiency of dairy cows, but also achieves long-term economic benefits through energy saving and consumption reduction. It is a key technical direction for modern animal husbandry.
