DOL 234F Climate ComputerClimate for Growth

DOL 234F Sets new standardsDesigning advanced technology is notdifficult. The trick is to make technologyeasy to use. With the DOL 234F climatecomputer, SKOV has produced the perfectcombination – creating a world of possibilitiesfor optimising the climate andincreasing productivity in your livestockhouses.It is easy to operate DOL 234F since all itsfacilities are easy to access.DOL 234F also has the advantage thatit is made of modules. This means thatthe climate computer can be adapted tothe user's individual needs and that theprice corresponds exactly to the facilitieschosen.DOL 234F handles numerous Functionssuch as• PID control – uniform climate withoptimum growth conditions for theanimals• Control of temperature, humidity andventilation based on the age of theanimals• Control of underfloor exhaustion andfloor heating• Control of high-pressure cooling andspraying• Cycle ventilation at minimum ventilation• Log files for alarm and operation• Alarm for irregular water consumption• Light control• In-between functions for soaking,washing and drying• Night temperature setbackAdapted to the specific FarmThe DOL 234F comes with adaptedsettings of all parameters to match therequirements of the user regarding theanimals and productivity. Naturally, all settingscan be altered, allowing the indoorclimate to be regulated in response to theuser’s own experience concerning thebest results.Significant Reduction of Power ConsumptionDOL 234F controls the air outlet of thehouses via MultiStep®, which reducespower consumption.MultiStep® controls one fan steplesslyfrom 0 to 100%. At 100% ventilation, Multi-Step® connects the next fan at 100%, afterwhich the steplessly controlled fan startsall over again at 0%.This type of control saves 50-70% of totalpower consumption for ventilation comparedto traditionally controlled air outlets.This saving can be optimised further byusing a stepless, frequency-controlled fan.Displays Graphs and is easy to useDOL 234F has a large graphic display thatmakes it possible to view relevant graphs.The display is logically designed so thatfunctions which are used daily are at thetop level of the menu structure while specialfunctions are located at deeper levels.The flexible house numbering increasesreliability of operation. Section numberingcan now be selected freely. This applies toboth foil and display.Dynamic AirDynamic Air ensures the producer improvedminimum ventilation as well asoptimised heating consumption.An accurate measurement of the output isparticularly important in connection withminimum ventilation. Correct minimumventilation is crucial to productivity andheating costs. A too low degree of ventilationaffects the welfare of the animals andproductivity. A too high degree of ventilation,on the other hand, means unnecessarilyhigh heating costs.A World ofCustomisedSolutions
