Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to transducer assemblies, such as ammonia transducer assemblies suitable for use in agricultural buildings.
- Ammonia is formed in indoor livestock farming, when food and animal waste combine with water.
- Ammonia emissions in agricultural buildings are known to be detrimental to the wellbeing of livestock.
- harmful levels of ammonia may cause stress, poor health, lower weight, reduced productivity and even death of farm animals and poultry.
- Some studies have indicated that poultry yield is affected by ammonia concentrations in the range of 10 to 20 ppm.
- the building may be provided with large openings along its length for natural ventilation, which in turn may be provided with adjustable curtains to control air inflow.
- the building may be totally enclosed and dependent on mechanical ventilation for substantially all air exchange, in which case fans may be located at spaced positions along the length of the building.
- Bird health and performance are also directly related to the moisture level of the litter in the house. Chickens are extremely sensitive to dust, and if the litter becomes too dry, respiratory problems can affect an entire flock. On the other hand, if the litter remains too moist, it encourages the growth of harmful bacteria, incubating diseases such as coccidiosis, which is one of the most devastating of the poultry diseases, and which can infect an entire flock. Thus, it is critical for the health of the flock, and for the economic operation of the poultry house, to maintain the moisture level in the litter at a healthful level.
- the amounts of ventilation and heating should be optimized to save energy, while keeping the levels of ammonia, temperature and humidity at the appropriate levels.
- automated and computerized environmental control systems have been developed that rely on sensors that measure various environmental parameters and provide that information to a computer for processing and comparison to predetermined values. Based on the result of the comparison, the poultry house environment may be adjusted, for example by providing additional ventilation and/or heat.
- portable ammonia sensors suitable for use in agricultural buildings that are inexpensive, reliable and easy to use.
- ammonia sensors that can be easily integrated with a variety of environmental control systems for agricultural buildings.
- the present disclosure is directed to an ammonia transducer assembly for use in agricultural buildings.
- the exemplary ammonia transducer assembly includes a housing having a first opening and a second opening.
- the exemplary ammonia transducer assembly further includes a sensor having a gas sensing layer selectively tuned to ammonia and a pair of electrodes disposed in contact with the gas sensing layer.
- the sensor is disposed within the housing such that the gas sensing layer is exposed to the environment outside the housing.
- the ammonia transducer assembly also includes a circuit assembly disposed within the housing and connected to the electrodes of the sensor.
- a support member is connected to the circuit assembly, the support member being at least partially disposed within the second opening of the housing.
- the present disclosure is also directed to an ammonia transducer assembly for use in agricultural buildings.
- the exemplary ammonia transducer assembly includes a housing having a first opening and a second opening disposed opposite the first opening.
- the exemplary ammonia transducer assembly further includes a sensor having a gas sensing layer selectively tuned to ammonia and a pair of electrodes disposed in contact with the gas sensing layer.
- the sensor is disposed within the housing such that the gas sensing layer is exposed to the environment outside the housing.
- the ammonia transducer assembly also includes a circuit assembly disposed within the housing and connected to the electrodes of the sensor and a support member connected to the housing.
- the present disclosure is directed to a transducer assembly, which includes a housing having a first opening and a second opening disposed opposite the first opening.
- a sensor is disposed within the housing such that it is exposed to the environment outside the housing.

- exemplary ammonia transducer assemblies according to the present disclosure may be implemented similarly to known temperature sensors for use in poultry houses that are suspended from the ceiling and disposed at a height that can be adjusted during the poultry growth cycle to allow for measurement of temperature in the area where the poultry are located while still being out of their reach.
- ammonia transducer assemblies according to the present disclosure are expected to be relatively inexpensive and easy to manufacture. Further, ammonia transducer assemblies according to the present disclosure can be disposable and easily replaceable. The optional quick-connect fitting may be used to facilitate installation and replacement. Moreover, the assemblies of the present invention may have a durable construction, in which the components disposed inside the housing may be sealed against dust and water intrusion.
- Ammonia transducer assemblies according to the present disclosure can be designed to work with any control panel of an environmental control system. For example, they may be designed for use with a control panel that accepts a current based analog output of 4 to 20 niA, or they could be modified to work with a voltage output, a digital output, or any other suitable output.
