Sun-North’s main target is to achieve maximum comfort and energy efficiency in all agricultural facilities.
Each agricultural facility is uniquely different because of its geographical location. Therefore each barn needs a tailored ventilation system to suit all of the weather and temperature variables unique to the barns location. Meeting these variables does not necessarily mean an increase in cost or a complicated system.
Dual Ventilation |
|
 |
Extreme climate conditions such as northern winters and southern summers may require power assist to maximize or minimize air flow to optimize animal comfort. Sun-North incorporates power ceiling inlets, power chimney fans and power sidewall fans that engage before the natural ventilation sidewall panels and ridge systems are implemented. View More.... |
Cross Flow Ventilation |
|
 |
In regions of the world with extreme heat and low electrical costs, dairy facilities are increasingly becoming wider. These wide facilities use panel/curtain openings on one side and blocks of fans along the opposing side. View More.... |
Tunnel Ventilation |
|
 |
Tunnel ventilation is a variation of cross flow ventilation often making use of the end wall of a poultry or dairy facility to maximize ventilation requirements. |
Ceiling Fan Systems |
|
 |
Livestock adapts well to relatively consistent cold or hot conditions. Production is affected when there is a repetition of abrupt temperature swings. Properly designed ventilation will moderate or eliminate the abrupt temperature swings offering the animal the sensation of cooling under hot conditions and warming under cold conditions. |
Power Chimneys |
|
 |
When power exhaust is required, it has been proven that vertical chimney exhaust fans are far more efficient then similar fans that are wall mounted. Vertical chimney fans are more efficient because they do not have to overcome prevailing winds, they make use of naturally rising warm room air and they are not restricted by an outside hood. Chimney fans are also able to be more centrally located in a room. |
Exhaust Fans |
|
 |
Sun-North designs and distributes high performance and energy efficient wall mounted exhaust fans from as small as 12” to as massive as 72” in diameter. |
