TECHNOLOGICAL CONTROL OF AMMONIA CONCENTRATION AT THE ENTERPRISES OF THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
The microclimate of the industrial premises of the agro-industrial complex is of great importance. It is necessary to maintain normal values of temperature, relative humidity, and it is also necessary to take into account the concentration of harmful gases that negatively affect the body of farm animals and poultry, lead to premature failure of buildings, structures and equipment, increase the cost of their repair, which affects the cost of products. The maximum concentration of ammonia in the air of premises for animals is allowed no more than 20 mg / m3. In order to reduce the influence of harmful factors, a measuring device IKG-1 has been developed that allows monitoring the content of ammonia in the air of agricultural premises. The meter allows you to quickly measure the concentration of ammonia (NH3) within 10 minutes. The measurement limits are 20...200 mg/m3 in the air of the working area of industrial premises. The characteristics of the ammonia concentration meter IKG-1 are compared with the readings of the device of industrial manufacture UG-2, which has passed standardization. Scientific research and production testing have shown that the developed ICG-1 meter determines the concentration of ammonia 2-3 times more accurately and 3-4 times faster than the gas analyzer UG-2. The use of a gas determinant of ammonia concentration in the air makes it possible to ensure general safety standards during the operation of buildings and structures due to the efficient operation of ventilation equipment with air conditioners.
