Evaporative Cooling Pad System for Poultry and Livestock Houses

This system uses evaporative pad cooling to lower house temperature in hot weather. It helps reduce heat stress and support feed intake, egg production, and growth in layers, broilers, breeders, ducks, and pigs. Designed for tunnel ventilation with matched fan capacity and intelligent control, it provides uniform airflow and energy-efficient cooling. As a manufacturer, we tailor designs to site conditions and integrate them with broader environmental control for reliable, simple operation.

Core Benefits and Applications

• Mitigates heat stress and stabilizes performance during hot seasons and heat waves.

• Supports consistent airflow along the house length for even temperature and humidity.

• Suited to hot climates, seasonal peaks, and high-density house layouts.

How the System Works

Airflow and Evaporation

Warm air is drawn through wetted media. Evaporation absorbs heat and lowers inlet air temperature before it reaches the fan wall. Negative pressure from tunnel fans maintains house-wide consistency.

Water Circulation and Filtration

Manifolds distribute water evenly across the media. A sump and recirculating pump return water through filters to manage debris and algae, supporting steady performance and longer media life.

Controllers and Sensors

Environmental controllers use temperature and humidity inputs to stage fans, control wetting cycles, and adjust inlets or curtains. Logic prevents over-humidification while maintaining target setpoints.

Components and Materials

High-Performance Pads

Cellulose media offers high absorption, structural rigidity, and durable treatment. Optimized 45/15 flute geometry supports efficient cooling with low pressure loss.

Frames, Tanks, and Distribution Lines

Corrosion-resistant frames, manifolds, and piping—available in galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel—ensure stable mounting, uniform water distribution, and easy cleaning.

Exhaust Fans and Air Balance

High-capacity fans create the pressure required for uniform airflow. Proper sizing and spacing reduce hot spots and keep temperature and humidity even.

Control Panels and Automation Integration

Central panels integrate fans, pumps, pads, and sensors with programmable setpoints, alarms, and data logging. Systems operate under unified Climate & Environment Control for coordinated management.

Specifications and Configurations

Pad Thickness and Flute Geometry

100 mm and 150 mm Thickness

Select thickness by climate and airflow needs. Thicker media handles higher heat loads at acceptable pressure drop.

45/15 Flute Design

Balanced angles optimize evaporative efficiency and airflow in tunnel-ventilated houses.

Module Sizes and Frame Materials

Modules fit side-wall or end-wall installations. Frames in galvanized, aluminum, or stainless options align with corrosion resistance requirements and budget.

Water System Options

Pump Capacity and Flow Rate

Correct pump sizing and flow ensure uniform wetting and water efficiency.

Filtration and Treatment

Inline filtration and optional treatment manage scale and algae to preserve pad longevity.

Compatible House Layouts

Side-Wall Pads with Tunnel Ventilation

Common for layers and broilers to support long, uniform airflow paths.

End-Wall Pad Configurations

A compact option for retrofits or buildings with limited side-wall space.

4-Row, 8-Tier Integration

Sized to match pad area and fan power for even airflow across all tiers.

Integration, Customization, and Support

Farm Automation Integration

Combine control of cooling, feeding, manure removal, and lighting to maintain stable conditions and efficient daily routines.

Tailored Design and OEM/ODM

We size pad area, fan capacity, and controller logic for local climate, building dimensions, and stocking density. Options include branded panels, frame colors, and accessory kits with filters, nozzles, and piping. Deliverables include CAD/PDF layouts and steel structure drawings to support local standards.

Installation, Commissioning, and Training

Our team plans pad placement, fan walls, and airflow paths. Standard SOPs help achieve fast installation and reliable commissioning, with operator training for consistent results.

Maintenance and Hygiene

Routine cleaning, correct filtration, and anti-algae practices sustain cooling capacity and air quality. Corrosion-resistant materials help extend service life and lower replacement costs.

Project Experience and Outcomes

We have supplied systems for large-scale farms, including 1–2 million layer projects with 4-row, 8-tier layouts. Results include improved temperature uniformity, reduced energy use, and steadier intake during heat waves.
