Project Title
Dairy Cow Cooling Paper Study
Project Number ET12SCE1070 Organization SCE End-use Process Loads Sector Agricultural Project Year(s) 2013 - 2014Description
Identify opportunities for energy efficiency in dairy farms. The focus is on alternative methods to fans and soakers to cool dairy cows. Cooling technologies investigated will include hydronic heat exchangers embedded beneath free stall beds and water source heat pumps. Other areas to be investigated for energy efficiency opportunities include lighting, milk cooling, and milk harvesting. Economic impact of electricity and water consumption will be considered.
