The Importance of Temperature Control in Animal Husbandry
Farm owners know that one of the main factors affecting animal growth is air temperature. It is temperature that determines the development of animals. One of the simplest ways to regulate it is by managing the speed of fans in enclosures.
Traditional Methods of Temperature Regulation
Previously, the approach used for temperature control involved installing several low-power fans (10-20 units) in the room and manually turning on the required number of fans while monitoring the temperature with a thermometer.

This required additional control from staff, which could be inefficient.
Modern Solutions Using Frequency Converters
Today, the problem of temperature control can be addressed using frequency converters. The most convenient way is to install frequency converters on fan motors. A temperature sensor can be connected to the converter, and the temperature maintenance mode can be set. This means that the converter will receive information about the current temperature and accordingly adjust the motor speed to maintain the set temperature in the enclosure. This function is implemented thanks to the built-in PID controller.
If necessary, the automatic regulation mode can be easily turned off, allowing for manual control of the fan speed, for example, during system adjustment.
Cost-effectiveness and Flexibility of the System
This system significantly saves electricity, as energy consumption also decreases with a reduction in frequency. You can install one powerful fan instead of several or, conversely, connect multiple fans to one frequency converter for simultaneous control. If you have a single-phase fan - that is also not a problem. We have solutions for such systems: frequency converters for single-phase motors. As evidenced by customer feedback, using frequency converters provides savings of approximately 30-40%, as well as maintaining the necessary technological parameter.
