Abstract

"This guide presents information on a demonstration solar system located on a Central Missouri swine farm. The system was designed to collect and store solar energy for use in preheating ventilation air in a nursery building. Information and data on construction, cost and performance through the first year of operation are presented. Complete working drawings for this facility are available through your County Extension Center. Ask for UMC Plan No. 32-726-C3. The money for the design, construction and testing of this system was provided by Mr. Leo Himmelberg, the University of Missouri, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Energy. The Himmelberg farm is located approximately 3 miles northeast of Glasgow, Mo., on Highway V. It is a 236 acre crop and livestock operation with a sow herd of 50-60 animals. All pigs are finished to market weight on the farm."--First page.
