 |
| Product Overview |
The Livestock House Static Pressure Sensor is designed to measure the differential air pressure between the interior of a livestock building and an outdoor or reference pressure point. It provides essential feedback for negative-pressure ventilation systems used in commercial pig houses, poultry houses and other enclosed livestock facilities.
By continuously monitoring pressure conditions, the sensor can provide a stable feedback signal to a compatible climate controller. The ventilation controller can then coordinate air inlets, exhaust fans, actuators and other ventilation equipment to maintain suitable air distribution and house climate conditions.
The sensor is suitable for new livestock building projects, ventilation system upgrades, centralized exhaust ducts and air-filtration projects where reliable pressure monitoring is required. Sensor range, electrical interface and installation accessories can be configured according to project requirements. |

| Working Principle / Structural Principle |
The static pressure sensor operates by comparing air pressure from two reference points. One pressure connection normally senses the pressure inside the livestock house or ventilation duct, while the second connection senses outdoor atmospheric pressure or another designated reference point.
The internal sensing element detects the pressure difference and converts it into an electrical signal. This signal is transmitted to the livestock house climate controller or ventilation control system.
In a negative-pressure ventilation system, exhaust fans remove air from the building and create a controlled pressure difference. Based on the sensor feedback, the controller can adjust inlet opening, fan stages or actuator positions to help maintain the required pressure level. Proper pressure control supports more predictable inlet air direction and distribution throughout the livestock building. |

| Installation & Maintenance |
Installation:
- Install the sensor on a stable, accessible surface protected from direct physical impact.
- Connect the indoor pressure port to a representative measurement point inside the livestock house or ventilation duct.
- Connect the reference port to a suitable outdoor or reference-pressure location.
- Protect outdoor reference tubing from direct wind pressure, rainwater, blockage and mechanical damage.
- Avoid sharp bends, crushing or excessive tubing length that may interfere with pressure transmission.
- Complete electrical wiring according to the selected controller and sensor connection diagram.
- Verify zero pressure and controller readings during commissioning.
Maintenance:
- Periodically inspect pressure tubes and fittings for dust, moisture, blockage or leakage.
- Check mounting screws and electrical connections during routine livestock house maintenance.
- Confirm sensor readings after major ventilation system maintenance or controller replacement.
- Keep pressure ports clean and do not apply compressed air directly to the sensing connections unless permitted by the selected sensor instructions.
- Calibration or functional verification intervals should follow the requirements of the selected sensor and farm management program.

| Product FAQ |
Q1: What does a livestock house static pressure sensor measure?
It measures the pressure difference between the livestock house and an outdoor or other reference pressure point. The measurement can be used by the ventilation controller to monitor and regulate negative pressure.
Q2: Why is static pressure important in a pig or poultry house?
Static pressure is an important operating parameter in mechanically ventilated livestock buildings because it influences how air is drawn through inlets and distributed inside the house.
Q3: Can the sensor be connected to an automatic climate controller?
Yes. Controller-compatible configurations can be supplied according to the required electrical signal, power supply and control system specifications.
Q4: Can it be used in both pig houses and poultry houses?
Yes. The sensor can be applied in negative-pressure ventilation systems for pig, poultry and other enclosed livestock buildings when correctly selected for the project.
Q5: Can the pressure range be customized?
Yes. Measurement range selection is available according to project requirements and the operating pressure of the ventilation system.
Q6: Where should the reference pressure tube be installed?
The reference point should represent stable atmospheric or reference pressure and should be protected from direct wind, rain, blockage and other conditions that could distort the measurement.
Q7: Can the sensor be used for central ducts or air-cleaning systems?
Yes. Differential pressure sensors can also be configured for central ventilation ducts and livestock air-cleaning systems where pressure monitoring is required.
Q8: What information is required for quotation and selection?
Please provide the livestock species, building dimensions, ventilation type, controller model, required pressure range, preferred output signal, power supply and project location.
