Performance of passively automatic ventilation inlets for agricultural buildings.

Summary

Good air distribution is needed in livestock buildings to remove moisture and pollutants without chilling animals during cold weather and to assist in evaporative and convective cooling during warm weather. Passively automatic inlets are intended to provide nearly constant air velocity into buildings as ventilation air-flow rates are automatically adjusted. The airflow rate, average exit air velocity and velocity profile of 8 commercially available ceiling and wall ventilation inlets were tested under various configurations and static pressures.
