Tube ventilation systems

Fresh air and a draught-free environment are of vital importance to calves. A disrupted barn climate resulting from a combination of volatilisation, body heat, exhaled air and  humidity can be disastrous. This can lead to severe illnesses and impaired growth and development, which later results in lower yields for the dairy cow. 

Tube ventilation was explicitly developed to provide fresh  air to calves and young cattle in barns. This system draws  fresh outside air into the air tube through a fan in the wall. The air is then dispersed through holes in the tube using  overpressure. The holes are precisely calculated at Abbi-Aerotech to obtain a comprehensive overview of how the air  is distributed and to prevent draughts and downdraughts from forming. The holes and the size of the holes are customised according to the conditions in your barn. 

Tube ventilation is also an alternative for supplying fresh air and cooling in dairy barns with low ceilings. In low-ceiling barns or areas, fan placement can sometimes prove  too complicated, or the air speed may be too great. For example, this system can provide a great solution in milking parlours.
