Hot water is needed to milking operations; it is used to wash cows udders before milking, and to wash equipment before and after milking each cow. Additional hot water is used for space heating during winter to keep pipes from freezing and to keep dairy workers warm. Workmen are now putting the finishing touches on solar collectors for the Beltsville unit. USDA engineer Paul Thompson expects the sun to provide about 70 percent of the milking parlors heating needs when the system begins operating this spring. Electricity will be used as backup Administration (ERDA) are thinking, and to test this theory ERDA is funding construction of an experimental solar heating system for a modem milking parlor at the Beltsville (Maryland) Agriculture Research Center, a facility of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Dairy farms with milking parlors produce most of the milk Americans drink. In order to minimize chance of contamination, milk is piped directly from the cow into a refrigerated tank. BELTSVILLES system. America: Fad Heaven?

He pointed out that as demand for solar heating THOMPSON pointed out that the Beltsville system uses the simplest solar technology available, so that results of this experiment can be readily used by farmers. e collectors mounted on the roof collect the suns heat and transfer the heat to water that circulates slowly through the collectors. Hot water is stored underground in a buried, insulated concrete silo. It is retrieved as needed from the storage silo and used to heat the water for milking operations and space heating. The Beltsville system uses 1.000 square feet of collectors, and its buried silo stores up to 10.000 gallons of water. Although this experimental system cost about $25,000, 4 DR.
