Note: Each independent vent uses 2 switches. Each independent fan or heater uses 1 switch. This means you can have any combination as long as it doesn’t use more than six or ten switches.
Farmers operate their livestock buildings year around. This means manually operated livestock curtains and fans require lots of attention if operated for the animal's best performance.
Eliminate manual cranking curtains and switching breakers with an AutoVent. Captain environmental controllers for livestock buildings and barns.
Give your dairy or beef cows the automatic ventilation they deserve.
The Captain controls are temperature and rain based environmental controllers for curtains.
They don't do wind direction and are considered our base-level livestock controller.
For a complete weather station barn controller, check out the KVT-400.
Maintaining air quality and eliminating heat and moisture is important in your cattle barn.
This barn ventilation is crucial in all weather conditions.
Dairy or livestock buildings usually employ one of three types of ventilation systems:
mechanical, natural, or a combination of the two.
In order to generate airflow, natural ventilation depends on the barn's design and wind.
Fans are used in mechanical ventilation to regulate the quantity of air moving in the barn.
In certain instances, a combination of mechanical and natural ventilation is employed to get the best ventilation rates. This could be mechanical ventilation in the summer and using natural ventilation in the winter.
Tunnel and cross ventilation are mechanical ventilation systems used in dairy barns.
Tunnel ventilation uses fans and inlets to create a continuous flow of air down the length of the barn.
Cross ventilation draws the air parallel through the stalls, creating a “cross” airflow. T
The Captain10 climate control can run these ventilation systems in your cattle barn.
