HB SERIES
The best hatch rates can be reached with which parameter combination is not known for different species yet. Cimuka Research Team is collecting
data from our research center and customers for different APC applications.
The table below outlines the recommended parameters for
cooling for a set (clS) mode.
Note:
Cooling by a time (clt) mode is highly dependent on hatchery room conditions and the number of eggs in the model. It is only advisable to use
for temperature controlled hatchery rooms to reach same hatching results.

CAUTION!
Turn off Active Periodic Cooling (APC) function during hatching period - Last 2-3 days of incubation. Cooling in last 2-3
days of incubation results in bad hatching rates and chick loss.
CAUTION!
Changing cooling mode (cIF) or cooling cycle time (cPr) parameters in APC menu resets periodic cooling cycle time (cPr).
CAUTION!
In clS mode, time to reach cooling set point cSt (Fst) is highly dependent on room temperature. For very low set points,
system may not be able to reach cooling set point. For such situations, system finalizes cooling at max cooling time (hct).
