The overall aim of the project is to develop and test an efficient and environmentally-friendly, precision engineering solution for cooling/heating to improve indoor air quality and thermal comfort to promote better animal welfare and productivity in poultry houses. The system will use a novel membrane -based dew point evaporative technology using water and air as the working fluids to provide thermal regulation and improved air quality in the summer period. In addition, a low-cost poly heat exchanger ready loop integrated solar roof collector will be used to harness solar energy to heat working fluid to drive a heat pump. This is an efficient method for providing heating requirements in poultry houses. The solar collector has a simple design with direct integration in the poultry house roof. The project will involve the design, construction and testing of a prototype cooling/heating system. The new system will provide an environmentally friendly and economic solution to compete with traditional HVAC systems. The support from the Innovate UK grant will ensure this technology is developed in the UK creating over 20 UK jobs and tax revenue giving a 20 to 30 times return on the Innovate UK investment, over the 2-5 years after the project completes.

该项目的总体目标是开发和测试高效、环保的精密工程冷却/加热解决方案，以改善室内空气质量和热舒适度，从而促进禽舍内更好的动物福利和生产力。该系统将采用新型膜露点蒸发技术，以水和空气作为工作流体，在夏季提供热调节和改善空气质量。此外，低成本多晶热交换器预循环集成太阳能屋顶集热器将用于利用太阳能加热工作流体以驱动热泵。这是满足禽舍供暖需求的有效方法。太阳能集热器设计简单，可直接集成在禽舍屋顶上。该项目将涉及原型冷却/加热系统的设计、建造和测试。新系统将提供环保且经济的解决方案，与传统的暖通空调系统竞争。 Innovate UK 拨款的支持将确保该技术在英国开发，为英国创造 20 多个就业机会和税收，在项目完成后的 2-5 年内为 Innovate UK 的投资带来 20 至 30 倍的回报。
