Thermostatically Controlled Outlets
Uses less electricity by thermostatically controlling your electric heating equipment to maintain the pump house’s temperature above freezing.
Energy Conservation for Dairies
Upgrade to Efficiency
There are many opportunities for dairy farms to be more energy efficient, upgrading important infrastructure and reducing operating expense. Your utility offers incentives/ rebates for your dairy’s energy efficiency projects.
Tips for Reducing Energy Use
Contact us to learn how you may be eligible for incentives to increase energy conservation in the following areas:
Lighting Upgrades and Lighting Controls
Uses less electricity while providing better lighting, improving on worker safety, productivity and work quality.
Freeze Resistant Stock Water Tanks
Uses no electricity while keeping water temperatures above freezing so livestock have a source of fresh water.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Controlled Cooling Fans
Speed of the cooling fan air flow is temperature and humidity controlled, using less electricity and providing just the right amount of cooling to the dairy cows.
Milking Vacuum Pump VFDs
Uses less electricity by adjusting the existing vacuum pump to match the needed output of the milking system.
Compressed-Air System VFDs
Air compressors can slow down, wasting less energy while delivering the required airflow.
Plate Cooler Heat Exchanger Upgrades
Reduces electricity used by the chilled water system to lower the milk temperature.
