So what is the next upgrade I plan to do? There have been some times I have not take a close look on my Temperature and Humidity Chart. Below chart is the recent zoom in chart so that I can see the changes clearly by day.
Humidity - I wise to get between 80% to 85%. But now fluctuate between 76% to 84%.
When I look closely at the pattern of the humidity chart, I realized that the humidity start increase after 10am and start dropping after 7pm. This is exactly same time as what my chicken coop humidifier operating hours. Does it means once the humidifier stop operating, the internal moisture will move to the outside through my entrance hole? Maybe my entrance hole is too big and air move out very fast.
So, what upgrade I need to do to make the temperature and humidity more stable. Below are some of the things that I hope to implement during my next visit,
1. Extend my partition facing the entrance hole from 4 feet width to 8 feet width. Hope to reduce the air flow
2. Change to 10 heads mist makers. I can even run at night if want to as the ultrasonic humidifier produce almost no sound. I finally got my 10 heads mist makers.
3. Apply heat insulator paint suggested by one of my forum reader.
Hope to hit 100 nests by end of October.
Should use a hygrostat to control the humudifier (to run between 80-85%RH) rather than just use timer.
ReplyDeleteI am using hygrostat and connected to the timer.
