HVAC Case Study
ARCOBALENO Cow Farm

Project requirements

Arcobaleno Farm is a big farm in the Modena area, with many stables spanning on a 2000 sqm area with head of cattle used exclusively for milk production. After a summer that reached 34°C – 36°C, the company registered a significant increase in cows’ mortality, decreased appetite and therefore lower milk production.

Veterinarians consulting for the farm confirmed as well the link between cows’ mortality and high temperatures. For this reason the management has looked for a solution at the beginning of Summer 2016, in order to avoid the same scenario of the year before.

Solution

Italkero, official supplier of Breezair evaporative cooling products for Italy, suggested evaporative coolers as a solution to meet management’s requirements to decrease temperatures, in a situation where traditional air conditioning was not an option due to natural openings of the stables and high installation and running costs.

Breezair in fact is the perfect solution to cool such big areas, ensuring significant savings, since it only uses water and electricity to run. For this reason, Breezair Evaporative cooling is also kind to the environment, not using any kind of synthetic refrigerants to cool the air.
