Modern animal husbandry farms, sericulture farms and mushroom farms house delicate hybrid HF cows, broiler chickens, silkworms and HF pigs that cannot tolerate temperatures above 30°C. High temperature reduces feed intake, disrupts normal breathing, impairs body-heat regulation and suppresses mushroom budding — directly cutting milk, meat and mushroom yields.
During summer, temperatures in plains reach 35–45°C and in desert areas can peak at 55°C, while relative humidity drops to as low as 20%. Thumba's mist cooling system maintains safe temperature and humidity levels inside the shed using evaporative cooling — water as the only cooling medium, completely environment-friendly.
Water is broken into extremely fine 10–100 micron mist particles by specially designed low-power pumps and nozzles. The mist evaporates before reaching floor level, cooling the surrounding air by 8–15°C within 5 minutes without wetting animals, feed or bedding. The entire system can be controlled automatically in one of three modes.
The simplest option — schedule the cooling system to run at fixed times each day. Set specific on/off windows using a programmable timer. Ideal when you want cooling during the hottest part of the day regardless of actual temperature. Most economical controller.
The motor starts automatically when the sensor detects the shed has reached a user-set upper temperature limit, and stops when it cools to the lower setpoint. For example, set on at 30°C and off at 25°C. More precise than time-based control — runs only when actually needed. Slightly higher cost than Auto Start.
The most sensitive option, essential for tissue culture plant nurseries, mushroom farming and sericulture. A high-accuracy dual sensor monitors both temperature and humidity simultaneously. User-programmable: set high-temperature ON / low-temperature OFF and also low-humidity ON / high-humidity OFF. Priced lower than comparable market T&H controllers.
The system reduces shed temperature by 8–15°C within 5 minutes using evaporative cooling. The exact drop depends on ambient humidity and shed size — drier conditions give larger drops.
The nozzles produce 10–100 micron particles that evaporate before reaching floor level. Animals, bedding and feed stay dry. This is very different from sprinkler or drip systems.
For most dairy sheds, Thumba Auto Cool (temperature-based) is the best choice — it activates only when needed, saving power. If budget is tight, Thumba Auto Start works well with a fixed schedule. T&H Controller is recommended for mushroom farms or sericulture where humidity is also critical.
Yes. The system is suitable for dairy, poultry (broiler), mushroom, sericulture (silkworm rearing) and piggery farms — any livestock or crop that requires temperature and humidity control.
The system uses specially designed low-power consumption pumps. It runs on standard single-phase power and consumes significantly less electricity than conventional air conditioners while cooling large shed areas effectively.
