Mapping of potential use of evaporative cooling systems in Southeastern Brazil/Zoneamento do potencial de uso de sistemas de resfriamento evaporativo no sudeste brasileiro
In present research the potential use of evaporative cooling systems (ECS) associated to tunnel ventilation system (TVS) for broiler reared in Southeastern Brazil was studied. Four configuration systems were tested: (a) TVS, (b) TVS associated to a pad cooling system with 40% efficiency ([TVS.sub.PA...

Zusammenfassung: | In present research the potential use of evaporative cooling systems (ECS) associated to tunnel ventilation system (TVS) for broiler reared in Southeastern Brazil was studied. Four configuration systems were tested: (a) TVS, (b) TVS associated to a pad cooling system with 40% efficiency ([TVS.sub.PAD40]), (c) TVS associated to a pad cooling system with 70% efficiency ([TVS.sub.PAD70]) and (d) [TVS.sub.PAD70] associated to a misting system ([TVS.sub.PAD70+MIST]). Thermal environment was characterized by temperature-humidity index, and the chicken performance was estimated by daily feed intake, daily weight gain and feed conversion. Climatic data from 1980 to 2001, released through Reanalysis-2 Project from NCEP/NCAR were used in this research. The benefitial effect of the use of ECS with TVSPAD70+MIST for providing better production condition was verified, especially during September and October for almost all the southeastern region, mainly in northern and northwestern part of the Minas Gerais State. Key words: fogging, thermal index, poultry O zoneamento do potencial de uso de sistemas de resfriamento evaporativo (SRE) acoplado a um sistema de ventilacao em modo tunel (SVT) foi realizado no presente trabalho, com vistas a criacao de frangos de corte na regiao Sudeste do Brasil. Quatro configuracoes do sistema foram testadas: a) SVT; b) SVT associado a SRE do tipo material poroso umedecido com 40% de eficiencia ([SVT.sub.PAD40]); c) SVT associado a SRE do tipo material poroso umedecido com 70% de eficiencia ([SVT.sub.PAD70]) e d) [SVT.sub.PAD70] associado a sistema de nebulizacao ([SVT.sub.PAD70+NEB]). O ambiente termico foi caracterizado por meio do indice de temperatura e umidade, enquanto o desempenho das aves foi determinado pelo consumo de racao diario, ganho de peso diario e conversao alimentar. Dados meteorologicos de 1980 a 2001, disponibilizados pelo Projeto Reanalise-2 do NCEP/NCAR, foram utilizados nesta pesquisa. Verificou-se o efeito benefico do uso dos SRE, com [SVT.sub.PAD70+NEB] proporcionando as melhores condicoes de producao, em especial nos meses de setembro e outubro para quase toda a regiao Sudeste, com destaque para as mesorregioes Norte e Noroeste de Minas Gerais.
