Calculates ventilation fan requirements and inlet needs for livestock buildings.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering calculations for livestock ventilation systems. It uses ASABE standards to determine total airflow requirements based on animal species and count. Users can determine the optimal number and size of fans using calculate_fan_configuration, calculate necessary inlet areas with estimate_inlet_requirements to prevent drafts, and create progressive operation sequences with generate_fan_staging_schedule. It ensures precise control over building environments for swine, poultry, and cattle.

What is the total ventilation requirement for 500 swine?

The total ventilation requirement for 500 swine is 25,000 CFM based on standard ASABE rates.

Calculate the fan configuration for 15,000 CFM at 0.1 inches of static pressure using these fans: [{"size": "36in", "capacity": 5000}, {"size": "48in", "capacity": 10000}]

To meet 15,000 CFM, you should install one 48-inch fan and two 36-inch fans, providing a total capacity of 20,000 CFM.

Generate a 3-stage staging schedule for 3 selected fans.

Stage 1: 1 fan running (5,000 CFM). Stage 2: 2 fans running (10,000 CFM). Stage 3: 3 fans running (15,000 CFM).

The `get_total_ventilation_requirement` tool calculates the total CFM by applying ASABE standard ventilation rates to the specific animal type and count provided.
