본 연구는 변형된 사이클론식 먼지포집기를 이용하여 계사의 먼지농도를 낮추고자 먼지포집기를 개발하였으며 무창육계사에서의 먼지 저감효과를 알아보고자 경기 화성 소재 육계농장의 무창계사에서 시험을 수행하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 시험계사의 환기량은 2주령시 $0.014{sim}0.015cmm$ 이었으며 5주령시에는 $0.158{sim}0.181cmm$이었다. 암모니아가슬 농도는 1주령시 $13{sim}16;ppm$, 2주령시 $20{sim}24ppm$이었으며 $CO_2$ 농도는 1주령시 400-500ppm이었으며 2주령 시 $1,000{sim}2,000ppm$이었다. 2. 먼지포집기의 기계별 1주간 먼지포집량은 1주령시 104.1g, 2주령시 274.7g, 3주령시 388.6g으로 증가하다가 4주령에는 감소하였다. 3. 먼지포집기의 주령별 먼지 포집효율은 TSP의 경우 먼지포집기를 통과하기전 $3,111.7{sim}8,745.2;{mu}g/m^3$로 높았으나 먼지포집기를 통과하고 난 후 $530.8{sim}2,264.4;{mu}g/m^3$로 낮아져 $54.2{sim}82.9%$의 효율을 보였으나 PM1.0의 경우 통과전 $15.2{sim}39.0;{mu}g/m^3$에서 통과 후 $11.9{sim}34.9;{mu}g/m^3$로 $7.6{sim}33.8%$의 낮은 포집효율을 보였다. 4. 대조구의 경우 1주령시 TSP 농도는 $1,387.6;{mu}g/m^3$, 4주령시 $4,210.1;{mu}g/m^3$으로 높았으나 먼지포집기가 설치된 시험구의 경우 1주령시 $876.3;{mu}g/m^3$, 4주령시 $2,535.3;{mu}g/m^3$으로 $36.8{sim}39.8%$의 먼지 저감효과가 있었다. 그러나 PM2.5, PM1.0의 경우 $11.4{sim}39.8%$의 낮은 먼지저감 효과가 있었다. 5. 대조구의 경우 폐사율은 4.06%이었으나 시험구는 3.13%으로 낮아졌으며 출하체중도 대조구는 1.658kg인데 비하여 시험구는 1.742kg으로 높았다.
This study was carried out to develop the modified cyclone dust collector in windowless broiler building measuring 12 m wide, 46 m long, with a side wall height of 3 m and a capacity of 12,800 birds. Ventilation rate in windowless broiler building was $0.014{sim}0.015;and;0.158{sim}0.181cmm$ in second weeks and fifth weeks of age, respectively. Ammonia concentration was $13{sim}16;and;20{sim}24;ppm$ in first and second weeks of age, respectively. Amount of dust collected in dust collector each week was 104.1, 274.7 and 388.6g in first, second and third weeks of age. But it was decreased from fourth weeks of age because of the increased ventilation rate. Total suspended particulate(TSP) of polluted air was $3,111.7{sim}8,745.2{mu}g/m^3$, but it was decreased to $530.8{sim}2,264.4{mu}g/m^3$ when it passed through the dust collector. Collecting efficiency was $54.2{sim}82.9%$ in TSP. But collecting efficiency of Particulate matter smaller than $1{mu}g$ (PM1.0) was $7.6{sim}33.8%$, and lower than TSP. TSP concentration in control broiler house was 1,387.6 and $4,210.1{mu}g/m^3$ in first and fourth weeks of age, respectively. But it was decreased to 876.3 and $2,535.3{mu}g/m^3$ in broiler house operated dust collector in first and fourth weeks of age, respectively. Dust collecting efficiency for TSP was $36.8{sim}39.8%$, and it was decreased to $11.4{sim}39.8%$ in smaller dust size.
