Maintaining Cooling Systems in Poultry Farms and Greenhouses

As summer approaches and temperatures rise, the importance of maintaining cooling systems—especially cooling panels—becomes increasingly evident to ensure their efficiency and continued performance as required in poultry farms and greenhouses. Neglecting maintenance can lead to reduced cooling efficiency, which negatively impacts production. Key steps for cooling panel maintenance: Clean the panels regularly: Cooling panels must be cleaned periodically, with a minimum frequency of once every five weeks, and more often as needed. Removing dust and salts: The panels should be cleaned using appropriate brushes to remove dust and salt deposits; they can also be sprayed from the outside using a pesticide sprayer or any high-pressure sprayer to ensure effective cleaning. Dry the panels daily: It is recommended to turn off the water for a short period each day to allow the panels to dry, which limits algae growth and salt buildup on them. Inspect pumps and filters: Ensure that pumps and filters are in good working order, and address any leaks in the system immediately to ensure operational efficiency. Adjust the distribution pipe: Ensure that the water distribution pipe above the panels is straight and level to ensure even water distribution. Monitor water distribution: Ensure that water reaches all parts of the panels. If any dry areas are observed, they should be addressed immediately, as this directly affects cooling efficiency. Organizing the supply line: It is recommended to add a secondary connection from the supply line to irrigate the trees surrounding the farm at a rate of approximately 20% daily, which helps reduce salinity levels within the cooling panels. Designing the return tank: The return tank should be sloped to facilitate the drainage of sediments and prevent their accumulation. Adhering to regular maintenance procedures helps extend the operational life of the cooling panels and maintains their efficiency for many years, which positively impacts production quality and stability. And Allah is the source of success.
