The

 

industry

 

has

 

found

 

lactating

 

cows

 

producing

 

100LB

 

or

 

more,

 

can

 

overheat

 

when

 

the

 

night

 

air

 

stayed

 

around

 

61°

 

ambient.

 

This

 

was

 

with

 

cows

 

laying

 

in

 

freestalls

 

and

 

no

 

air

 

movement.

  

This

 

was

 

at

 

12:30

 

to

 

2:00

 

AM

 

in

 

the

 

morning,

 

after

 

the

 

fans

 

turned

 

off.

 

At

 

59°

 

and

 

below

 

they

 

did

 

not

Cows

 

in

production

 

did

 

not

at

unless

temperature

 

was

 

approximately

Variable

fans

 

The

 

controller’s

 

variable

 

speed

 

output

 

changes

 

with

 

the

 

temperature.

 

The

 

hotter

 

it

 

gets,

 

the

 

faster

 

it

 

goes.

 

You

 

can

 

adjust

 

the

 

{P35}

 

minimum

 

speed

 

and

 

the

 

{P36}

 

full

 

speed.

   

When

 

the

 

fan

 

will

 

start

 

Variable

 

speed

 

fans

 

are

 

usually

 

connected

 

to

 

a

 

circulating

 

fan

 

relay.

 

The

 

circulating

 

fan

 

relay

 

will

 

stop

 

the

 

fan

 

when

 

it

 

gets

 

too

 

windy

 

or

 

cold.

 

(Note:

 

All

 

fans

 

run

 

at

 

same

 

speed

 

but

 

can

 

start

 

at

 

different

 

temperatures)

 

The

 

fans

 

use

 

the

 

Effective

 

temperature,

 

which

 

is

 

warmer

 

than

 

the

 

ambient

 

temperature

 

after

 

a

 

hot

 

day.

 

Manually

 

forcing

 

the

 

fan

 

speed

 

For

 

testing

 

the

 

fans,

 

you

 

can

 

manually

 

force

 

it

 

to

 

a

 

fixed

 

speed

 

{P38}.

 

When

 

P38

 

is

 

set

 

to

 

11,

 

the

 

speed

 

varies

 

with

 

the

 

temperature.

 

Setting

 

it

 

between

will

 

force

 

the

 

fans

 

to

 

run

 

at

 

a

 

fixed

 

speed,

 

1=10%

 

5=50%.

 

You

 

must

 

remember

 

to

 

set

 

it

 

back

 

to

 

11,

 

so

 

fans

 

speed

 

adjusts

 

automatically.

If

 

you

you

 

can
