SPRINKLER COOLING SYSTEM (Not Fogger) THE PROBLEM 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.

As a Pennsylvania state award winner, Hamilton will automatically be considered for the regional NVATA award. 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. Control Panel Nozzle 1 62 1 62 6 72 6 77 4 16 418 1 72 6 67 3 89
