Why refrigerate a pig farm?
Cooling in a livestock facility is indispensable, especially in summer, when temperatures rise significantly outside and cause a rise in the thermostat inside the farm. Animals that are subjected to high temperatures for a long period of time can become stressed, causing the animal to stop eating properly, which leads to a drop in the productivity of the livestock and consequently to numerous economic losses.
How does refrigeration work?
Porinox offers an evaporative cooling method. A cooler is installed on a windowed wall of the building. This cooler is equipped with a hydraulic installation, which circulates water through evaporative panels, so that the air entering the building is more humid, causing a decrease of the inside temperature.

The coolers are made of 304 stainless steel, which guarantees good mechanical properties and its components are welded to prevent water leaks.
They are equipped with the entire hydraulic circuit installed, which consists of several flow regulation valves to adjust the intensity to the desired temperature. Also included is the pump and the evaporative panel, which can be chosen from three composition options: cellulose, plastic or mixed. Here are the advantages of each:
| Cellulose | Mixed | Plastic |
|---|---|---|
| High mechanical strength | Facilitates cleaning with pressurised water | Extends service life |
| Easy to install | UV protection | Increases the darkness factor |
| Easy to clean | Easy to clean | Facilitates cleaning with pressurised water |
| UV protection | Extends service life | UV protection |
| More economical | Resistant to fungi | |
| Resistant against algae | ||
