Abstract
Disclosed is a mattress for thermal comfort of animals in a livestock enclosure, wherein the comfort mattress includes at least one resilient layer including: at least one sealed chamber, intended to contain a first heat-transfer fluid, and at least one watertight duct, intended to contain a second heat-transfer fluid, at least one section of which passes through the at least one sealed chamber between the upper and lower surfaces thereof so that the at least one section is intended to soak/to bathe in the first heat-transfer fluid. The at least one watertight duct includes at least two through-orifices, to generate a circulation of the second heat-transfer fluid within the at least one watertight duct, between the through-orifices thereof.
Claims20
A mattress for thermal comfort of animals in a livestock enclosure,
- wherein said comfort mattress (2) comprises at least one resilient layer (3) and has two opposite faces:
- an upper face (35), adapted to undergo an elastic deformation and including at least one accommodation area (21) on which an animal is intended to rest, and
- a lower face (36), intended to rest on a receiving surface, wherein said at least one resilient layer (3) includes:
- at least one sealed chamber (4), intended to contain a first heat-transfer fluid and extending under said at least one accommodation area (21), wherein said at least one sealed chamber (4) is delimited by an upper surface (41) and by a lower surface (42), and
- at least one watertight duct (5), intended to contain a second heat-transfer fluid, at least one section (51) of which passes through said at least one sealed chamber (4) between the upper (41) and lower (42) surfaces thereof so that said at least one section (51) is intended to soak/to bathe in said first heat-transfer fluid,
- wherein said at least one resilient layer (3) includes at least one through-orifice for access to said at least one sealed chamber (4), and
- wherein said at least one watertight duct (5) includes at least two through-orifices (55), to generate a circulation of said second heat-transfer fluid within said at least one watertight duct (5), between the through-orifices (55) thereof.
