Full Description

Ventilation in many agricultural livestock and crop buildings and structures is crucial to maintain animal healthor crop quality. Agricultural operations may have large numbers of ventilation fans operating for extended timeperiods making ventilation a large electrical consumption end use. Unlike other electrical energy?consumingequipment, there is little opportunity to manage operational schedules and electrical use of ventilation fans ona daily or seasonal basis without severely affecting operational management and having adverse effects.Improving the energy efficiency of an agricultural fan is the only practical way to reduce electrical energy usefor ventilation. Energy efficient ventilation fans use less electrical power to move equivalent amounts of air,resulting in energy savings. This Engineering Practice is intended to provide information helpful in makingdecisions involving selection of energy efficient ventilation fans in agricultural operations.
