| Product Overview | The Smart Livestock Ventilation Air Velocity Sensor is a fixed environmental monitoring device designed for continuous measurement of air movement in poultry houses, pig houses, cattle barns and other controlled livestock buildings. It can be installed at representative airflow monitoring points such as ventilation ducts, fresh-air inlet zones, animal-level air paths and other locations required by the farm ventilation design. The sensor provides continuous airflow information for environmental controllers, data acquisition systems or farm monitoring platforms. Air velocity monitoring is particularly useful in commercial livestock projects where ventilation fans, air inlets, cooling equipment and environmental control systems must work together to maintain stable indoor conditions. The sensor can also form part of a multi-parameter monitoring solution together with temperature, humidity, gas concentration and static pressure sensors. |
| Key Features | Continuous Airflow Monitoring: Designed for permanent or semi-permanent measurement of ventilation air velocity in livestock buildings. Livestock Environment Application: Suitable for poultry houses, pig farms, cattle barns, calf houses and other enclosed agricultural buildings. Real-Time Data Output: Provides continuous measurement signals for compatible environmental controllers, PLC systems, gateways or monitoring terminals. Ventilation System Integration: Can support airflow analysis for exhaust fans, air inlets, circulation systems and ventilation ducts. Remote Monitoring Capability: Digital communication and gateway integration are available according to project requirements. Flexible Sensor Configuration: Measuring range, probe structure, installation method and communication interface can be selected according to the farm project. Commercial Project Design: Suitable for new livestock house construction, ventilation upgrades and intelligent farm environmental monitoring projects. |
| Structural Components | Air Velocity Probe: The sensing section positioned in the airflow path to detect local air movement. Probe Housing: Protects the sensing element while maintaining suitable exposure to the measured airflow. Mounting Flange: Supports secure installation on ducts, panels or dedicated mounting positions according to the selected configuration. Signal Processing Module: Converts the sensor response into a usable measurement signal for monitoring and control equipment. Transmitter Enclosure: Protects electronic components and provides electrical and communication connections. Connection Cable: Connects remote probes and transmitter modules where a separated sensor structure is required. Communication Interface: Analog or digital interfaces can be configured according to the environmental control system. |
| Working Principle / Structural Principle | The sensing probe is installed directly in the airflow path at the required monitoring location. As ventilation air passes the sensing element, the sensor detects changes associated with air movement and converts them into an electrical measurement signal. The internal signal processing circuit calculates the corresponding air velocity value and transfers the data to a compatible livestock environmental controller, PLC, data logger, gateway or remote monitoring platform. When integrated into an intelligent farm ventilation system, air velocity information can be evaluated together with temperature, humidity, static pressure and gas monitoring data. The connected controller can then use the combined environmental information as part of the programmed ventilation strategy. The air velocity sensor normally functions as a measurement component. Fan switching, variable-speed control, inlet adjustment and cooling-system operation are performed by the connected control equipment. |

| Installation & Maintenance | Select an installation point that represents the airflow condition the farm operator needs to monitor. Typical positions include ventilation ducts, air inlet zones, animal-level airflow paths or other locations specified in the livestock-house ventilation design. Avoid placing the probe immediately behind structural columns, feeders, partitions or other obstacles unless the airflow behind the obstacle is specifically being evaluated. Local turbulence can cause measurements at one point to differ from the overall ventilation condition. The mounting flange or bracket should be securely fixed to reduce vibration and maintain consistent probe orientation. Electrical cables should be protected from livestock, rodents, washing equipment, moving machinery and sharp structural edges. In poultry and pig houses, dust, feathers, cobwebs and other deposits should be removed periodically from the sensing area. The cleaning interval should be determined according to farm conditions. Calibration and functional inspection can be arranged according to the farm maintenance schedule and project accuracy requirements. The sensor should be isolated or protected during aggressive high-pressure washing or chemical disinfection where necessary. |
| Project Cases | Typical Broiler House Project: Multiple sensors can be installed at representative points along a long poultry building to support continuous comparison of airflow conditions during different ventilation stages. Typical Pig Nursery Project: Air velocity sensors can be combined with temperature, humidity and gas sensors to provide environmental data for centralized farm monitoring. Typical Tunnel Ventilation Project: Sensors can be installed at selected positions to monitor airflow changes when different groups of exhaust fans are activated. Typical Livestock House Upgrade: Existing ventilation systems can be equipped with fixed airflow sensors and compatible communication modules to add continuous monitoring capabilities. Typical Multi-House Farm Project: Sensors from several buildings can be connected to gateways or central monitoring systems according to the communication architecture of the project. |
