Abstract

During the operation of the cooling system, a large array of temperature and humidity values was obtained inside and outside the cowshed. On the basis of the obtained data set, mathematical models of temperature, humidity and temperature–humidity indices were developed. The modelled values were relevant to the actual values. The mathematical models were built on the basis of regression analysis of the data set. The data set was obtained as a result of the observations of temperature and relative humidity on one of the farms in Lithuania in semi-insulated box-type cowshed for 244 places in the summer. It was established that the efficiency of the air-cooling system is higher at a higher temperature and lower relative humidity of the air entering the cowshed. Lower humidity values contribute to a more intense decrease in the temperature–humidity index during the operation of the cooling system. The presented mathematical models are useful tools for decision making regarding the choice of cooling system operation models, as they allow one to evaluate the cooling efficiency, taking into account the influence of external factors.
