‘Let’s compare conventional fan and sprinkling systems to the CowKool System.’

‘Stand-alone fans installed over the free stall beds simply moves‘ambient-temperature air‘ over the cows.’

95-deg F

Disadvantage – ‘This type of system is merely an ‘air ventilation system’ and provides minimal cooling effect for cows while they are in their free stall beds

‘The CowKool System is a ‘cooling system’ and delivers very effective cooling to both the free stall beds …’

95-degF

‘… and the feed lane.’

Advantage – The CowKool System is truly a ‘cooling system’ that delivers very effective

cooling for the cows while they are in their free stall beds and standing at the feed lane eating.’

5 ft

‘Feed lane sprinkler lines are typically installed with nozzles spaced 5-feet apart.’

Disadvantage – ‘Holes’ in the ‘cooling line’ … A number of cows at the feed lane will not get ‘effective’ cooling

‘With the CowKool System, the fans are typically installed on the feed lane directly over the cows.’

Advantage - Every single cow at the feed lane receives very effective cooling

‘Sprinkler lines are intended to drench the cows.’

Disadvantage – Water follows the contour of the cow’s body ultimately getting the udder wet. The teat canal is still

open.

‘After eating the cows go back to their free stall beds exposing a wet udder to potential mastitis problems.’

‘The CowKool System’s concept of cooling cows directly by ‘wetted forced-air evaporative cooling’ …’

… provides very effective controlled cooling ….

… without drenching the cow ….

… and getting the udder wet.

Advantage – ‘The CowKool System eliminates secondary problems such as wet udders and potential

mastitis.’

‘Sprinkler lines put out a lot of water’

Disadvantage – Excess water run-off creates more ground pollution and handling problems.

‘Excess water run-off combined with manure also creates a climate for potential feet problems.’
