VentMax has been designed to meet the variable heating and cooling demands of broiler sheds and will adjust the poultry shed temperature to reflect the stage of bird growth.
The units are also suitable for providing dependable climate control in layer sheds, livestock and glasshouse units, due to their ability to keep temperatures and humidity consistent all year round.
The diagram below shows a typical heat load profile (in June) of a broiler house, as the birds grow from chicks to full size.
VentMax units use an intelligent climate control system to provide broiler sheds with the optimum level of heating, cooling and humidification depending on the:
For lower poultry heating demands, VentMax will use heat recovered from the exhausted air. VentMax can recover up to 70% of waste heat leaving a shed.
For lower poultry cooling demands, VentMax will use free ambient cooling.
For higher capacities, the units should be integrated with a ground source heat pump (GeoCube) for optimum efficiency. Heat pumps use conventional refrigeration technology to provide cost-effective poultry shed heating and cooling.
