Design and Experiment of Solar Energy Intelligent Drinking Water System for Livestock
It designs a solar energy intelligent drinking water system for livestock to solve the problems of low water consumption,reduced diet,stunted growth and reduced physical performance of livestock in the cold winter climate of alpine regions.At the same time to improve the quality and economic efficiency of breeding.The system uses solar energy to heat the temperature of drink-ing water to(14~33)℃ to meet the demand of livestock drinking warm water in winter.The system adopts PLC control and con-figuration software monitoring to realize the functions of automatic water supply,heat collection cycle and automatic drinking water.When the livestock is sensed,the water will be automatically discharged.The remaining water in the drinking tank will be emptied after drinking.The system realizes the management function of unmanned automatic drinking water.The experiments in-dicated that the system can heat the drinking water temperature to 33 ℃ by using solar energy,and the heat collection effect is ob-vious.The system can meet the heat demand of drinking warm water for livestock in winter.And the scheme can effectively avoid en-ergy loss.The energy required by the system mainly comes from solar energy,which is abundant,cheap and pollution-free.The un-manned livestock drinking water management function will also greatly reduce the labor of herdsmen and improve breeding condi-tions.
