Publication number: 20220346358Abstract: The invention relates to a climate control device for controlling the temperature and humidity of air supplied to colonies of insects cultured in an industrial scale insect farm. In particular, the invention relates to a controllable air conditioning system comprising a network of pipes connecting at least one cluster comprising at least one insect farming cage, such that air is conditionable in the cages at the cluster level. More specifically, the invention relates to a system comprising a central main air conditioning facility providing temperature conditioned air and absolute air humidity conditioned air to each of a number of local air conditioning devices, each separate local air conditioning device providing temperature conditioned air and absolute air humidity conditioned air to each of a plethora of clusters of insect breeding cages separately, said cages housed in an temperature conditioned farming room.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2020Publication date: November 3, 2022Applicant: Protix B.V.Inventors: Jaco Jansen, Raymond Joseph Leushuis, Jaap Van Kilsdonk, Eric Holland Schmitt, Johannes Dijkshoorn

Publication number: 20220295737Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for providing conditioned air to a room for rearing insect larvae. The system comprises crates for storing the insect larvae, wherein the crates are stackable to form a vertical column and wherein the crates comprise lateral cutouts disposed on opposite sides. An air inlet duct for providing conditioned air to the crates is disposed in a vertical direction and comprises at least one nozzle for each crate in a column. The position of the at least one nozzle corresponds to the position of the lateral cutout of the respective crate. The system further comprises an air outlet duct, wherein the air outlet duct is disposed in a vertical direction and wherein the air outlet duct is disposed on a side of the stacked crates opposite to the air inlet duct.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2020Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Eric Holland SCHMITT, Jaco JANSEN, Kees Wilhelmus Petrus AARTS, Maurits Petrus Maria JANSEN, Vincent DE GELDER
