Life cycle assessment of desiccant – Dew point evaporative cooling systems with water reclamation for poultry houses in hot and humid climate
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Desiccant – dew point evaporative based cooling systems is known to be an effective system for the ventilation and cooling of poultry houses in hot and humid climates. However, they suffer from high water consumption that ...
Comparative analysis of sustainable desiccant – Evaporative based ventilation systems for a typical Qatari poultry house
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Direct evaporative cooling is the typically adopted ventilation system in poultry houses in hot climates. This type of cooling is inefficient during period of relatively high humidity resulting in degraded thermal comfort ...
Sustainable Poultry house ventilation using Dew point indirect evaporative cooler aided with radiative cooling
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Maintaining good production quality in layer poultry houses is directly correlated to the thermal environment of the laying hens as well as their breathable air quality. This work compares the performance of two passive ...
Improving comfort and productivity of workers at moderate activity and hot environment by means of a PCM cooling vest
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The effect of using a phase change material (PCM) cooling vest by a worker performing moderate activity in a hot environment is studied through the use of a validated integrated fabric-PCM and bio-heat model. The integrated ...
Modeling and optimization of poultry house passive cooling strategies in semiarid climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Meeting hygrothermal and air quality requirements in livestock dwellings is crucial for upholding production quality standards. However, ventilation and air-conditioning in such enclosures is very energy-intensive, especially ...
