Israel Flamenbaum Do I understand the humidity in the holding pen is too high to evaporative cool the air? If the air was drawn through a water-cooled heat exchanger before being discharged to the cow tubs, could that change the efficacy of a cooling pad installed on the female side of the 52" fans?

Sohail Bajwa , how do I calculate the wind speed of 300,00 CFM’s of positive pressure fan intake south end and 300,000 CFM’s negative pressure fans discharging north end of an enclosed holding area/parlor building 140’L x 34’W x 12’ H? This double 12 herringbone parlor/holding area is a cube of the before mentioned dimensions. Capacity is 135 cows total.
