ALGORITHM OF OPERATION OF THE MECHATRONIC SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING MICROCLIMATE OF PIGSTIES
Vitalii YAROPUD – Сandidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of machinery and equipment for agricultural production of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (St. Soniachna, 3, Vinnytsia, Ukraine, 21008, e-mail: yaropud77@gmail.com, https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0502-1356).
The article analyzes modern technologies for keeping pigs, in particular the prospects for using mechatronic systems to ensure microclimate in pig houses. It was determined that deviations in microclimate parameters negatively affect the health, reproductive functions and growth of pigs, which leads to a decrease in the profitability of farms. An algorithm for the operation of a mechatronic system with adaptive air ventilation and energy-saving technical means has been developed, the parameters of which have been optimized using software modeling. Based on the adopted design and technological scheme of the mechatronic system for ensuring the microclimate of pig houses and the theoretical and experimental studies of its elements, an algorithm for its operation has been developed. The developed algorithm is implemented in the created simulation of the microclimate of a pig house in the Simcenter Star-CCM+ software package. According to the modeling, the temperature dynamics at each stage of the passage of the air flow through the developed microclimate system in the pig house throughout the year were obtained. The temperature of the air flow after passing through the ground heat exchanger and the indirect evaporation type heat exchanger approaches the values of zootechnical requirements. The process of cooling the air to a given temperature (22 °C) occurs without the use of additional air conditioning systems, and heating the air to a temperature of 18 °C requires additional switching on of heating elements. The dynamics of power consumption of the developed and classical microclimate systems in a pigsty for 16 machines was obtained. The obtained annual energy consumption for the developed microclimate system is 17528 kWh, which is 28.6 % less than the classical system (ventilation with a ground channel and a heating and air conditioning heat exchanger).

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
