SKOV DA 150B Pad Cooling System

The SKOV DA 150B Pad Cooling System provides effective evaporative cooling for livestock facilities, helping producers maintain comfortable barn temperatures and reduce heat stress during periods of extreme heat.

Designed for integration with agricultural ventilation systems, the DA 150B cools incoming fresh air as it passes through water-saturated cooling pads. As water evaporates from the pads, heat is absorbed from the air, lowering its temperature before it enters the livestock building.

Featuring a large cooling pad surface, an integrated water reservoir and a water bleed-off function, the SKOV DA 150B delivers a flexible cooling solution for poultry and livestock operations.

Its durable design and adaptable installation options make it suitable for new construction and appropriately designed barn ventilation upgrades.

Key Features

• Evaporative Pad Cooling — Cools incoming fresh air as it passes through water-saturated cooling pads, helping lower temperatures inside livestock buildings.
• Large Cooling Surface — Provides substantial pad surface area for effective cooling during periods of elevated outdoor temperatures.
• Integrated Water Reservoir — The water tank is incorporated into the lower gutter, eliminating the need for a separate external water tank.
• Continuous Water Circulation — Water circulates through the system to keep the cooling pads evenly damp during operation.
• Direct Water Distribution — Supplies water directly to the pads without requiring separate distribution pads.
• Water Bleed-Off Function — Helps control mineral and salt concentrations by replacing a portion of the circulating water with fresh water.
• Flexible Installation — Can be configured for different building layouts and compatible ventilation systems.
• Heat Stress Management — Helps reduce excessive temperatures that can affect livestock comfort, welfare and productivity.
• Durable Agricultural Design — Engineered for reliable operation in demanding livestock environments.
• Ventilation Integration — Works with suitable Tunnel, Combi-Tunnel and other compatible ventilation configurations.

How the SKOV DA 150B Pad Cooling System Works

The SKOV DA 150B uses evaporative cooling to reduce the temperature of fresh air entering a livestock building.

The system circulates water over the cooling pads, keeping them damp while ventilation equipment draws outside air through the pad surface.

As the incoming air passes through the pads, some of the water evaporates and absorbs heat, lowering the air temperature before it enters the barn.

1. Water Circulation

Water is circulated from the integrated lower gutter reservoir to the distribution system above the cooling pads.

2. Pad Saturation

Water flows across the pad surfaces, keeping them damp and ready for evaporative cooling.

3. Incoming Air Cooling

Ventilation equipment draws warm outside air through the wet cooling pads.

As water evaporates, heat is removed from the incoming air, helping reduce the temperature inside the livestock facility.

4. Water Recirculation

Water that does not evaporate returns to the lower gutter reservoir for recirculation.

5. Mineral Management

The integrated bleed-off function helps limit mineral buildup by draining a portion of the circulating water and replacing it with fresh water.

Cooling performance depends on outdoor temperature, relative humidity, ventilation airflow and system configuration.
