Please refer to the user's manual for an explanation of the basic principles of climate management.
This chapter describes the working of a number of specific control functions that the installer should set.
Ventilation is used to create the most pleasant climate possible in the house. Ventilation also extracts harmful
substances from the house and introduces fresh air into the house. There are two types of house ventilation.
Natural ventilation uses the pressure differences inside and outside the house to suck air into the house and
extract air from the house. This is generally done using curtains. The greatest advantage of natural ventilation
compared to mechanical ventilation is energy saving. The disadvantage is the dependency on the outside
conditions (for example, the wind). This means that creating the correct house climate using natural ventilation
only is not always possible. In such cases mechanical ventilation is used.
With mechanical ventilation, fans introduce air into the house and extract air. This means that you are less
dependent on the outside conditions than with natural ventilation. Several more fans are generally used with
mechanical ventilation. The fans used with specific ventilation percentages are indicated in the combi-table page
7.
The control computer supports both natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation. The principle here is to control
the climate using natural ventilation and to only activate mechanical ventilation if necessary.
The ventilation is controlled based on the house temperature. The purpose is to control the temperature as close
as possible to a certain setpoint. Minimum ventilation is always required in the house for the supply of fresh air.
If the temperature in the house exceeds the entered setpoint, ventilation must increase. The more the house
temperature differs from the setpoint, the more ventilation increases. The ventilation zone is the temperature
range within which the ventilation is increased from its minimum to its maximum position.
Below is an example of a ventilation graph.
Figure 1: Ventilation graph
In the combi-table enter which fans have to activate at the various ventilation percentages. With natural ventilation
indicate how far the curtains have to open.
The setpoint house temperature and the minimum and maximum ventilation positions can vary during the animals'
life cycle. The ventilation graph changes too and therewith the amount of ventilation at a certain temperature.
Always complete the combi-table, including the steps covered by natural ventilation.

Part of the ventilation demand can be met using natural ventilation. During natural ventilation the fans are off. The
outside wind provides the air flow through the house. The entire combi-table is deactivated in the natural
ventilation phase.
Outside the natural ventilation range, ventilation is controlled using the fans. The inlets are opened
based on the values in the combi-table.
Figure 2: Ventilation graph with transition phases
Transition Power ventilation → Natural ventilation (1)
At a rising temperature and when the Natural start (1) is reached, the control computer switches to natural
ventilation. To prevent toggling the system must have been out of the natural phase for a certain time before
system returns to the natural phase again. The control computer opens the curtain, then switches the fans off.
The control computer controls how far the curtains open based on the minimum natural inlet settings.
Transition Natural ventilation → Power-Tunnel ventilation (2)
If the temperature continues to rise the control computer switches over to mechanical ventilation when the air inlet
is fully opened (curtain opened to maximum) and the temperature rises above Natural stop (2). The inlets for
natural ventilation (curtains) are closed, if required. The inlets for mechanical ventilation are opened based on the
values in the combi-table. The required fans are activated.
Transition Power-Tunnel ventilation → Natural ventilation (2)
With falling temperatures the control computer switches over to natural ventilation when the temperature falls
below the position Natural stop (2). The curtains are opened to maximum position. Then the fans are switched off.
To prevent toggling the system must have been out of the natural phase for a certain time before system returns
to the natural phase again.

Transition Natural ventilation → Power ventilation (1)
With falling temperatures the control computer switches over to low ventilation when the curtains are open
minimum and the temperature falls below Natural start (1). The inlets for natural ventilation (curtains) are closed.
The inlets for mechanical ventilation are opened and the required fans are activated according to the values in the
combi-table.
Minimum wait time
Enter a minimum wait time to prevent continuous switching to natural ventilation (yo-yo effect). If a ventilation
transition is required, the control computer will wait this time before making a new transition. Within this time the
controller cannot go back to natural ventilation.
Controlling the air inlets during natural ventilation
The air inlets open or close when the temperature differs from Setpoint Natural.
If the temperature is higher than SN + Hysteresis, the inlets will open. If the temperature is lower than SN -
Hysteresis, the air inlets will close.
The extent of inlet control depends on the difference between measured temperature and Setpoint Natural. The
greater the difference, the longer the inlets will be opened or closed. Closing until the inlet position is equal to the
setting Minimum % (Natural). Opening until the inlet position is equal to the setting Maximum % (Natural).
Control speed Natural:
•Slow = 120 sec
•Moderate = 60 sec
•Fast = 30 sec
Example
Setpoint Natural is 20.5 °C (Hysteresis is 0.2).
If the measured house temperature is between 20.3 °C and 20.7 °C, the inlet positions will not be
corrected.
Inlets will be closed if the temperature is equal to or lower than 20.2 °C. Inlets will be opened if the
temperature is equal to or higher than 20.8 °C.
All controls set in the combi-table will be deactivated during natural ventilation.
Depending on the chosen house type the other inlets (Minimum and Extra) will (not) follow the natural inlets.
The control computer supports four types of house ventilation:
•Cross: With side ventilation the house is ventilated on the side. One side is the air inlet, the other side the air
outlet. The air flows across the house sideways. The inlet can be a minimum air inlet system or a natural
curtain. The outlet is mechanical (fan).
•Stair: With cross ventilation the house is ventilated from both sides. However, in this case the house is
divided into various sections in which ventilation comes from opposite directions.
•Ridge: With ridge ventilation the air enters the house from both sides and is exhausted via ridge ventilation.
•Length: With length ventilation the air enters the house from both sides and is exhausted via end wall
ventilation.

The control computer can control controllable fans and extra fans.
Controllable fans can be controlled by the control computer at a certain percentage. The control computer
controls the fans from, for example, 30% to 100%. This enables the control computer to increase ventilation
precisely up to the required level.
Figure 3: Example of a controllable fan controlled by the control computer
Controllable fans can be controlled by the control computer via the I/O-net or via an analog output (0–10V).
As well as the standard controllable fans, up to maximum three extra controllable fans can be controlled. The
extra controllable fans can be controlled directly (via an analog output or the I/O-net, value ‘A’ in the combi-table)
or via a relay (value ‘R’ in the combi-table).
All controllable fans are always controlled at the same percentage.

relay (R)

Extra fans can only be switched on or off via a relay. They are usually used when the controllable fans are
running at maximum or in combination with controllable fans to achieve a gradual increase in ventilation.
Figure 5: Example of an extra fan switched on and off from the control computer by a relay
The control computer determines the use of air inlets, extra inlets and fans based on the combi-table. Below is an
example of a combi-table. This may differ to your own combi-table, for example, because you use a different
number of extra fans. The combi-table shows the required values at successive positions (M1 thru M10 in the
example). The relay fans will do 20.000 m3 each and the controllable part is 25.000 m3.

The combi-table also contains the ventilation capacity. This is used to determine the ventilation position if control
is based on ventilation capacity per hour per animal (m3/h/animal).
The required pressure in the combi-table is used to control the inlet based on the under pressure in the house.
See Optimisation based on pressure page 10.
