The overall aim of the project is to develop and test an efficient and environmentally-friendly, precision engineering solution for cooling/heating to improve indoor air quality and thermal comfort to promote better animal welfare and productivity in poultry houses. The system will use a novel membrane -based dew point evaporative technology using water and air as the working fluids to provide thermal regulation and improved air quality in the summer period. In addition, a low-cost poly heat exchanger ready loop integrated solar roof collector will be used to harness solar energy to heat wor king fluid to drive a heat pump. This is an efficient method for providing heating requirments in poultry houses. The solar collector has a simple design with direct integration in the poultry house roof. The project will involve the design, contruction and testing of a prototype cooling/heating system. The new system will provide an environmentally friendly and economic solution to compete with traditional HVAC systems.

该项目的总体目的是开发和测试一种高效且对环境友好的精确工程解决方案，用于冷却/加热，以改善室内空气质量和热舒适度，以促进禽舍中更好的动物福利和生产力。该系统将使用水和空气作为工作流体使用新型的基于膜的露点蒸发技术，以提供热调节和改善夏季空气质量。此外，低成本的聚热交换器现成的循环集成的太阳能屋顶收集器将用于利用太阳能来加热较差的国王流体以驱动热泵。这是一种在家禽房中提供供暖需求的有效方法。太阳能收集器的设计简单设计，直接集成在家禽屋屋顶中。该项目将涉及原型冷却/加热系统的设计，制图和测试。新系统将提供环保和经济的解决方案，以与传统的HVAC系统竞争。
