Hi Guys,
I've been a long time lurker and need some help :confused:
A new client I have has decided to air-condition a brooder house (A small building of only a few square meters that is used to house chickens right after they were hatched.) and I'm lost when it comes to working out the required heating and cooling capacity.
Usually, air-conditioner sizing isn't an issue however the temperatures and fresh air requirements are a bit out of my depth.
The space is going to be insulated with 50mm polystyrene refrigeration panels (Walls and roof only).
Room size is 10m long X 5m wide X 2.2m high.
The air-conditioned temperature needs to remain between 25°C and 30°C
Ambient temperatures range from 2°C to 32°C
Humidity ranges between 33% and 63%
+-1kW of lighting/fans etc.
And for the kicker, 100% fresh air is to be used.
Any advise, formula or input would be appreciated.
