Dry and wet Bulb Temperature sensors in Weather station and greenhouse
RH = f(Tdb, Twb) Patm = 101.325 kPa
濕度 溫度 午夜 中午 午夜 High T coexist with Low Hum.
High humid Env. Low T, High RH High T, Low RH
Evaporative cooling Fogging
Evaporative cooling Pad and Fan system
Approach to release thermal stress Beware of the side effect.
Animal comfort zone – T only Productivity Dry bulb temperature
Impact of T and RH on milk production of cows 82.49 64.65 72.32 63.39 68.47 76.68 64.31 65.05 75.73 79.96 63.7 87.09 90.09 88.06 86.01 82.09 84.21 82.36 THI>85, no recovery Adapted from ASHRAE Fundamentals, 1999
Reduction of milk vs. Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) Adapted from ASHRAE Fundamentals, 1999
Milk Production=f(HD74, HA80S) MP =21.48 – 0.051 * HD74 – 0.0099 * HA80S Where, • MP: Milk production (in kg/day/cow) • 21.48: daily production (in kg) per cow in normal weather condition • HD74: total hrs of THI > 74 for previous 4 days • HA80S: square of total hrs of THI > 80 for previous day Linvill and Pardue (1992)
