Description
INSULATED COOL CELL COVER FOR ANIMAL HOUSES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to an insulated cover system for providing air seals to reduce heat loss through cool cells of animal houses, such as barns, poultry and pig houses and the like.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Environmental conditions of serious concern in the operation of an animal house, particularly for chickens and piglets include, for example, background heating, ventilation, humidity, ammonia, dirt and dust. For example, houses for poultry chickens and piglets need to have a warm, dry environment wherein one day-old chicks and young piglets are reared.
The targeted temperature provided at floor level is initially about 32 C, but is reduced, gradually, as the animals grow. A computerized controller in the case of modern poultry houses monitors environmental conditions as the birds grow and implements changes to that environment, accordingly, through activating vents, fans, heaters, feeders and watering systems. While the environment must be warm, the air also must be fresh.
Poultry houses vary in size and are, typically, approximately 15m wide by 150 m length with a ceiling height in the center of about 3m. Side wall constructions of these houses are either curtained or solid wall.
Cool cells is the term used to describe a framed insert located in apertures in the wall(s) of an animal house, such as a poultry or pig house, barn and the like.
It comprises an insert of a plurality of, typically, lacquered corrugated cardboard longitudinal pieces in parallel array set in a metal, plastics material or wooden frame in the aperture. The length and width of a cool cell depends on the size of the animal house and have a life expendency of about 2 to 5 years. Below the length of the cool cell is a water pipe which provides a mist which is drawn through the cool cell into the house by negative pressure caused by fans in the house. The purpose of the mist is to cool the interior of the house during the warm and hot months of the year.
Insulation covers must be made of durable components to withstand the rigors of the barn environment while being easy to install and remove. In consequence of their nature and location, current covers are difficult and time consuming to remove and install. Farmers are looking for products and technologies that will reduce their energy consumption and reduce their workload.
Historically, cool cells, if covered, have been covered with thin woven plastic sheets to stop the wind and cold air from entering the poultry house. This type of covering was "homemade", did little to stop the air flow from the exterior and was not energy efficient. The plastic sheet material was, generally, adapted from side wall curtain material, which is not insulated and is difficult to install and is usually good only for a one time or one season use.
Recently, a foam board covered with a hard plastics material and made in sections that connect together has been introduced as an insulated cool cell cover.
However, there are many problems with this cover. For example, the sections are difficult to handle due to the weight of each panel. Further, because of the weight of the panels they do not seal effectively when pulled in place to the closed position by a pulley system and, yet further, the construction of the panel causes condensation which forms water puddles in the chicken house, which, in turn, promotes disease in the birds. Several bugs, particularly, darkling beetles that are prevalent within many chicken houses destroy the foam of the cool cells.
Reflective metallic laminated and metalized polymeric insulation materials are described in, for example, Canadian Patent No. 2,554,754, granted December 4, 2007 and Canadian Patent No. 2,591,589, granted April 29, 2008 for use as insulation in walls, under roofs, around pipes and the like as stationary objects.
There is, therefore, a need for insulated covers that address the problem of high energy loss due to inadequate air seals in key areas for use with cool cells and doors presently having no air seal cover to address high energy loss due to inadequate air seals.
