    New technology for the stable - project two-fluid nozzle system

    A novel system for spraying water and versatile additives can help to improve dust pollution in bedding stables for livestock farming.

    Conditioning the stable air not only has a positive effect on the respiratory tract of animals and humans, it also reduces the emission of fine dust into the environment and heat stress.

    The dual-substance nozzle technology works similarly to a high-pressure misting system, but with a much lower pressure level because a compressor is inserted to finely nebulize the water particles.

    This system can be used wherever the existing technology is well mastered and all possibilities for improvement in the building have already been exhausted. From a climatic point of view, active cooling or supply air conditioning will be absolutely necessary in the future, especially in stable systems without active supply and exhaust air flow - the number of hot days is increasing and functional reliability would be at risk.

    Existing measurements in a fattening pig house show a significant and positive influence of the two-substance nozzle technology used (company aero-solutions Umwelttechnik GmbH, Linz) on the dust content of the air as well as the essential climate components that are important in animal husbandry, such as temperature and relative humidity, and therefore also make this technology Can be used for other types of livestock (poultry fattening, laying hens, etc.) to optimize the climate.
