Air movement characteristics inside a cow barn with natural ventilation under no-wind conditions in the winter season

key words: cow barn, no-wind conditions, natural ventilation, air movement

Summary:

The paper presents results of air movement observations inside a cow barn (Fermbet construction type) adapted for a loose housing system. The conducted experiments made it possible to determine directions and characteristics of venti-lated air flux in selected areas of the building as well as mark out areas where air stood still. In addition, the study offers recommendations regarding effective venti-lation systems in the occupied zone under no-wind conditions.
