Maintaining consistent environmental conditions across a long tunnel-ventilated poultry house can be challenging. In these house designs, hot spots and low air speed can develop near the tunnel doors, which may reduce bird comfort and contribute to uneven flock distribution.
To help address this challenge, Trio now supports Blowback Fan Control, a feature designed to improve airflow throughout the house and support more consistent environmental conditions during tunnel ventilation.
What are blowback fans?
Blowback fans, also known as return air or recirculation fans, move air from the front of the house back toward the exhaust end. This helps reduce dead zones and supports better air movement in areas where low air speed can occur.
By improving airflow across the house, blowback fans can also help relieve heat stress during tunnel ventilation and support more uniform bird distribution.
How Trio blowback fan control works
With Trio, blowback fan operation is managed automatically based on temperature. The system activates the blowback fan using configurable start and stop differentials relative to the tunnel temperature setpoint.
This helps producers manage airflow more consistently during tunnel ventilation while keeping configuration simple through Trio settings.
Key benefits of blowback fan control
- Improved air distribution across long poultry houses
- Reduced hot zones and low-air-speed areas
- More uniform bird distribution and comfort
- Automatic temperature-based operation during tunnel ventilation
- Easy configuration directly within Trio settings
Supporting better environmental control
For poultry producers, consistent airflow is an important part of maintaining bird comfort and supporting stable house conditions. Trio’s Blowback Fan Control adds another layer of automation to help manage tunnel ventilation more effectively in long poultry houses.
By reducing dead zones, improving air movement, and responding automatically based on temperature, Trio helps make environmental control more precise and easier to manage.
