Poultry ceiling inlets attic air is typically warmer than outside air on cold days.
Poultry attic inlets.
1 since attic inlets draw air from the attic space and not from exterior side walls there is essentially no wind pressure on the inlets.
Attics contain warm air that can be pulled into your houses during cold months to help cut heating costs.
Poultry house attics are made up of trusses built with untreated lumber put together with press fit truss plates.
Ventilation in your turkey or chicken house is a science.
Chore time s attic inlets direct the incoming air along the ceiling of the poultry house for better mixing and to prevent downdrafts on birds.

Wind blowing perpendicular to a house can lead to a positive pressure along the windward side of a house and a negative pressure on the leeward side house causing air to enter the windward.
First fresh air is introduced at the peak of the warm air produced by the heating system and birds tends to collect.
Breathe cannot be seen and is easily taken for granted.
Reduce fuel consumption mixing warm air from the attic with house air during minimum ventilation reduces fuel consumption as compared to using cold air through sidewall inlets.
Attic and ceiling inlets represent an important component of your poultry or hog barn ventilation system.
Unless properly installed and managed attic inlets can contribute to structural damage by allow ing warm and moist house air to enter and condense on trusses roof metal and insulation.
By installing ceiling poultry inlets producers can capitalize on solar heat trapped in their attics and ventilate poultry houses more during the day.
Attic inlets tend to do a better job of conserving heat in a poultry house than conventional side wall inlets.
Double l attic or ceiling inlets take warm air from attic to heat living area of poultry house.
Attic inlets tend to do a better job of conserving heat in a poultry house than conventional side wall inlets.
The air that you and your chicken turkey etc.
It is critical to make sure incoming air is properly mixed with the barn environment to avoid chilling or not properly warming your animals.

First fresh air is introduced at the peak of the warm air produced by the heating system and birds tends to collect.
