With climate warming a reality, this summer promises to be
warmer than ever. Fourteen of the 15 hottest years on record have
occurred since 2000, as heat waves have become more
frequent, more intense and longer lasting.
Quality Barn Fans
Keep your livestock healthy and yourself comfortable during these periods of record heat. A good cooling system starts with quality barn fans that can cool the barn up to ten degrees. Also consider water misters in dryer climates where the evaporation of mist will cool the area another several degrees.
Removing Dust
Barn fans serve the additional purpose of keeping air circulating and removing harmful hay dust and pollen. Airborne dust and pollen can negatively affect your animals as well as own.
Barn Wall Fans
Wall
fans provide a sideways air flow and can be directed on
the animals to help control flying insects.
Wall fans can be set to sweep back and forth thus
covering more space.
A strong wall fan can keep several animals cool and free of flies, not to mention the comfort of farm hands working in the barn.
Ceiling Fans
Large ceiling fans generate high levels of more indirect
air flow and assist in keeping the air flowing throughout
the barn.
These fans can also be reversed in winter to direct
rising warm air back down to the animals.
Floor Fans
Floor fans have the advantage of being portable and can be moved to different areas of the barn as needed. As with wall fans, floor fans can be set to sweep back and forth to cover larger areas.
Flying Insects
Flying insects are reduced considerably when there is a strong breeze generated by your fans blowing fresh air throughout the barn. A barn with an inhospitable flying insect environment can cut bugs by 80%.
Misting Fans
Misting fans add another dimension to fan cooling by providing the cooling effect of water evaporating in the air and on the animal's body.
