Multi-Point Livestock House Air Velocity Monitoring System

Product Name Multi-Point Livestock House Air Velocity Monitoring System
Product Image Multi-Point Livestock House Air Velocity Monitoring System
Product Overview The Multi-Point Livestock House Air Velocity Monitoring System is designed for continuous measurement and comparison of airflow at multiple positions inside poultry houses, pig houses, cattle buildings and other mechanically ventilated agricultural facilities.

Instead of relying on a single measurement point, multiple air velocity sensors can be distributed along the length, width or animal occupied zone of the building. This configuration helps operators identify differences in airflow between inlet areas, central zones, sidewalls and fan-end sections.

The system can transmit measurement data to a livestock environmental controller, PLC, data acquisition unit, local display or remote farm management platform. It is suitable for new livestock house construction, ventilation-system commissioning, farm renovation and long-term environmental monitoring.

For commercial livestock projects, multi-point airflow data can provide useful information for evaluating tunnel ventilation, minimum ventilation, transitional ventilation, circulation fans and air distribution performance.
Key Features Multi-Point Airflow Measurement: Multiple sensors can be installed at representative positions to monitor spatial differences in air velocity throughout the livestock house.

Continuous Online Monitoring: Provides ongoing airflow data rather than depending only on periodic handheld measurements.

Livestock-Level Measurement: Sensor locations can be arranged according to bird, pig or cattle occupied zones and project ventilation requirements.

Ventilation Distribution Analysis: Helps identify low-airflow zones, uneven tunnel ventilation and changes in airflow between different areas of the building.

Centralized Data Collection: Multiple sensing points can be connected to a compatible controller, data acquisition system or monitoring gateway.

Digital Communication: RS485 and compatible communication options are available according to project requirements.

Expandable System Architecture: The number of sensing points can be customized for different building dimensions and farm layouts.

Remote Monitoring: Gateway, data logging and cloud monitoring functions are available upon request.

Commercial Farm Application: Suitable for poultry complexes, pig farms, livestock engineering contractors and large agricultural projects.
Structural Components Air Velocity Sensors: Multiple fixed sensing probes are distributed at selected monitoring positions throughout the livestock building.

Sensor Mounting Assemblies: Brackets, flanges or customized supports secure each sensor at the required measurement height and orientation.

Communication Network: Connects multiple measurement points to the central controller or data acquisition equipment.

Central Data Controller: Collects, processes and organizes air velocity information from different monitoring points.

Local Display: Available for viewing real-time airflow values according to selected configuration.

Gateway Module: Optional communication gateway transfers measurement data to remote monitoring or farm management platforms.

Power Supply Module: Provides suitable operating power for sensors and communication equipment according to the selected system architecture.

Protective Enclosures: Electrical and communication components can be installed in suitable housings according to livestock-house environmental conditions.
Working Principle / Structural Principle Air velocity sensors are positioned at multiple representative locations inside the livestock building. Each sensor continuously measures local air movement and converts the measured condition into an electrical or digital signal.

Measurement signals from the different locations are transmitted to a central controller, PLC, data acquisition unit or monitoring gateway. The system can display individual sensor readings and compare airflow conditions between different sections of the house.

By comparing multiple points simultaneously, farm operators and ventilation technicians can evaluate whether air is being distributed evenly throughout the livestock occupied zone. This is especially useful in long tunnel-ventilated poultry houses and large mechanically ventilated pig buildings where airflow can vary significantly from one location to another.

The air velocity monitoring system can also be integrated with temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, ammonia and static pressure monitoring. The connected farm controller can use these environmental inputs as part of a broader ventilation and climate-management strategy.

Installation & Maintenance Sensor placement should be determined according to the purpose of the measurement and the airflow pattern of the livestock building. In long poultry or pig houses, several sensors can be distributed along the building to provide representative information from different ventilation zones.

Sensors used for animal-level monitoring should be positioned at suitable heights according to livestock species, production stage and housing system. They should not be placed directly behind structural columns, feeders, partitions or other obstacles unless airflow at that specific position is being evaluated.

All sensors should be mounted securely to prevent vibration or unwanted movement. Wiring should be protected from livestock, rodents, water lines, high-pressure washing equipment and moving farm machinery.

Communication cables should be routed according to the requirements of the selected control network. Proper addressing should be used when several digital sensors share the same communication line.

Dust, feathers, cobwebs and other deposits should be removed regularly from air velocity sensing elements. Cleaning frequency depends on livestock type, ventilation rate and dust conditions.

Periodic functional testing and calibration are recommended according to project requirements and the farm maintenance program.
Project Cases Commercial Tunnel-Ventilated Broiler House: Multiple air velocity sensors can be installed at selected positions from the cooling-pad end to the exhaust-fan end to evaluate airflow uniformity throughout the building.

Large Pig Finishing Building: Sensors can be distributed across several production zones to compare airflow conditions during different fan stages and seasonal ventilation modes.

Poultry House Commissioning: Multi-point measurements can support ventilation adjustment before project handover by helping technicians identify sections with insufficient or uneven airflow.

Smart Farm Monitoring Project: Air velocity sensors can be connected with other livestock environmental sensors and a centralized gateway for continuous data collection and remote monitoring.

Existing Farm Ventilation Upgrade: Multi-point monitoring can be added to an existing livestock building to provide additional operating data without replacing the complete ventilation system.
