Evaporative Cooling with CELdek

Munters CELdek® cooling pads offer a natural and highly effective way to lower temperatures inside pig barns by leveraging the evaporative cooling principle. As warm air passes through the water-saturated pads, heat is absorbed during evaporation, resulting in cooler, fresher air entering the facility.

Why choose CELdek® for pig facilities?

  • High cooling efficiency: Delivers up to 80% temperature reduction depending on conditions, ensuring animal comfort even during extreme heat.
  • Low energy consumption: Operates without compressors or refrigerants, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective option.
  • Durability: Made with specially treated cellulose material for long lifespan, UV resistance, and minimal risk of algae buildup.
  • Low maintenance: Easy to clean and replace, reducing downtime and labor.

Cooling Fans & Ventilation Combo

Cooling fans are essential tools to enhance airflow and boost the efficiency of your cooling strategy. When paired with proper ventilation, they help distribute cool air evenly across the barn, preventing dangerous heat pockets and temperature fluctuations between zones. This ensures all animals benefit from a stable and comfortable environment, regardless of their position in the building.

Fans also support air exchange, removing hot, humid air and replacing it with fresh, cooler air, especially when used in combination with evaporative cooling or fogging systems. Proper fan placement and control are key to maximizing cooling effectiveness while minimizing energy consumption.

FAQ

Find answers to the most common inquiries about evaporative cooling, system performance, and how to choose the right solution for your farm.

Why is heat stress dangerous for pigs?

Pigs cannot sweat efficiently. When exposed to high temperatures, they reduce feed intake and growth slows, leading to economic losses and poor welfare.

How do I know which cooling system is right for my farm?

It depends on your barn layout, climate zone, and production phase. Contact our experts for a custom recommendation.

What’s the difference between evaporative pads and fogging?

Evaporative pads cool incoming air, while fogging systems cool the air inside the barn. In some cases, combining them is ideal.
