BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT-
SPRINKLER COOLING SYSTEM
(Not Fogger)
THE PROBLEM
|thesys»|B|
The sprinkle cycle is turned on automatically
whenever the barn temperature rises above a preset
level 72° F. Throughout this “on” period the control
functions to permit sprinkling to occur for a preset time
period each hour. (2 minutes/hour is recommended for
best results.) When the barn temperature drops below
72° F the cycle is automatically interrupted.
The nozzles are clamped to a plastic pipe strung over
the gutter of slatted area at the rear of the pen. Each
nozzel covers_a 5-6 foot diameter area which usually
means one nozzle per pen. The nozzle assures a coarse
droplet spray pattern which is important for maximum
cooling. A fine mist of fog is not desirable in
geographical areas of generally high summer relative
humidity.

THE SOLUTION:
When the temperature is above 72° F
even ventilation can’t cure the stress that
results. But a sprinkler cooling system can
help your hogs where nature fell short,
giving them a chance to cool off. It sprays
them with coarse water droplets to reduce
their body temperature. The idea is
simple, but extremely effective.
