Air Tube Circulation Fan System

Product Name Air Tube Circulation Fan System
Product Image air tube circulation fan system
Product Overview The Air Tube Circulation Fan System combines a compact axial circulation fan with a flexible air tube to distribute moving air through livestock, poultry, greenhouse, or agricultural buildings. The system is designed for controlled air movement where conventional free-air circulation alone may not provide the desired airflow pattern.

By directing air through a flexible tube or air hose, the system can help distribute airflow along a defined route and improve air mixing in long or compartmentalized buildings. It can be integrated into commercial pig farms, poultry houses, dairy facilities, agricultural steel structure buildings, and other climate-controlled agricultural projects.

Professional circulation-fan systems with air-hose connections are used to create more uniform indoor climates while supporting efficient airflow distribution. Vostermans specifically documents compatibility with air hoses and agricultural applications including pigs, poultry, and dairy cattle. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Structural Components The typical system consists of an axial circulation fan, electric motor, impeller, protective guard, motor housing or support structure, suspension or mounting hardware, flexible air tube, tube connector, fastening components, and electrical control equipment.

The air tube may be manufactured from a suitable flexible polymer or technical fabric material, with the diameter, length, air outlets, and connection method selected according to the required airflow pattern.

For livestock applications, fan and mounting components can be specified with corrosion-resistant materials or protective finishes to withstand humidity, dust, cleaning procedures, and agricultural environmental conditions. Professional circulation fans may use engineering plastics, fiberglass, and treated metals for harsh environments. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Working Principle / Structural Principle The axial fan draws surrounding air and accelerates it through the impeller. Instead of allowing the airflow to disperse immediately into the building, the connected air tube guides the air along a predetermined route.

Air outlets or perforations along the tube can be arranged to release airflow progressively into the target area. This allows air distribution to be adapted to building length, livestock zones, equipment layout, and the required circulation pattern.

In large livestock buildings, multiple systems can be positioned according to the overall ventilation plan. Air tube circulation can complement exhaust fans, fresh-air inlets, cooling equipment, and environmental controllers; it should not be considered a substitute for the primary air-exchange system.

The exact airflow pattern should be determined from fan performance, tube resistance, outlet design, building dimensions, livestock density, and local environmental conditions.

As a reference only, a current Vostermans horizontal circulation fan range lists a 45 cm fan with maximum airflow of 9,250 m³/h and maximum throw of 65 m, while another documented version is designed for approximately 52 cm diameter air hoses. These figures belong to specific manufacturer's configurations and should not be treated as fixed specifications for this SHEWUYOU system. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Final specifications should be determined from the selected fan, tube dimensions, outlet arrangement, building layout, required airflow, and project ventilation calculations.

Air circulation systems can help minimize temperature stratification, improve internal air mixing, and increase air movement at animal level. In poultry houses, circulation fans are used to improve temperature uniformity and support drier litter conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Customization Options The Air Tube Circulation Fan System can be engineered according to the building layout, livestock type, climate conditions, ventilation strategy, and project specifications.

Customization may include fan diameter, motor power, voltage, control method, air tube diameter, tube length, tube material, outlet diameter, outlet spacing, outlet direction, suspension hardware, mounting structure, and corrosion protection.

The air tube layout can be designed according to building length and width, ceiling height, livestock zones, feeding systems, pen arrangement, structural members, and required airflow distribution.

For international B2B projects, the system can be designed according to local electrical standards, local climate and farm conditions, and the requirements of the complete mechanical ventilation system.

Tailor-made fan solutions are also a standard approach in professional ventilation engineering when standard products do not meet a specific application's airflow or installation requirements. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Installation & Maintenance The fan can be suspended from suitable roof trusses, purlins, steel structure members, dedicated brackets, or other load-bearing supports. Prepared suspension points can simplify onsite positioning and installation.

The flexible air tube is connected to the fan outlet and supported along its designed route using suitable suspension straps, cables, brackets, or structural supports. Installation should prevent excessive sagging, sharp bends, or unnecessary airflow resistance.

In agricultural steel structure buildings, the fan and tube arrangement should be coordinated with roof framing, lighting, feeding systems, water lines, cooling equipment, electrical services, and other building components.

Routine maintenance should include cleaning the fan guard and impeller, inspecting the motor and electrical connections, checking suspension hardware, and examining the air tube for contamination, tears, deformation, or blocked outlets.

Maintenance intervals should be adjusted according to dust, feathers, humidity, ammonia exposure, cleaning procedures, and operating hours.
Project Cases The Air Tube Circulation Fan System is suitable for commercial livestock and agricultural engineering projects where controlled internal air distribution is required.

Typical project applications include poultry houses, pig barns, dairy facilities, agricultural steel structure buildings, greenhouse facilities, and ventilation renovation projects.

For project procurement, SHEWUYOU can develop the fan and air-tube configuration according to building dimensions, livestock capacity, ventilation mode, ceiling structure, climate conditions, airflow requirements, and electrical standards.

Professional circulation-fan applications demonstrate the use of air tubes with compact circulation fans to extend and guide airflow, while multiple circulation fans can also be arranged within effective airflow distances for long buildings. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
