The implementation of poultry houses with enhanced control over environmental variables represents a solution to the growing demands for production and animal welfare. This study assessed the internal environment of dark-house poultry houses for broi...
In some areas where access to water is difficult, such as arid regions, it is a feasible measure to acquire water from the air. In this context, a system for water harvesting from the air was designed and manufactured. In order to find the optimal op...
The applicability of a hollow fiber membrane evaporative cooler in hot–dry regions was investigated by experimental studies. To better understand the actual operating environment of the hollow fiber membrane evaporative cooler, the outdoor air...
Heat stress has an adverse effect on the production performance of sows, and causes a large economic loss every year. The thermal environment index is an important indicator for evaluating the level of heat stress in animals. Many thermal indices hav...
Buildings are submitted to various external and internal solicitations that could affect its energy performance. Among these solicitations, temperature and moisture play a crucial role and could irrevocably affect the comfort of the occupants and the...
Energy conservation and consumption reduction have always been the goals pursued by the power industry. Based on these goals, this study explored a new type of whitening and water-saving technology for industrial equipment. Unlike existing direct hea...
