Enerdes will guide you to ideal air circulation in 4 steps:
Since every greenhouse, its climate and its crop are unique, it is crucial to model the greenhouse in order to determine what greenhouse climate systems are most suitable for you.
At Enerdes we have over a hundred years of thermodynamic knowledge and greenhouse experience available. Our highly educated engineers can use CFD (modelling of air flows and water) and in-house developed thermodynamic models to accurately design your greenhouse.
Enerdes can model your greenhouse and determine the ideal type of fan and fan placement with the minimal amount of fans to save you energy and costs. We know exactly what will fit your product and your budget best. Feel free to contact us for advice.
Hot air will rise to the top of your greenhouse. And most likely, you will have fresh air intakes somewhere along the walls of your greenhouse. Without fans or circulation fans, this would lead to an extremely variable temperature distribution and CO distribution in your greenhouse.
One area of plants may be too dry or grow too slowly, other areas may get too wet and develop mould or diseases. In other words, without fans your product quality and crop yield would be very disappointing.
Enerdes develops, produces and supplies all types of greenhouse climate control systems including all types of greenhouse fans and accessories. We can advise you which type of fan is most suitable for your specific greenhouse:
It is crucial to understand the right amount of fans needed for your greenhouse. The wrong number of fans can have several adverse effects:
Before ordering a big amount of fans for your greenhouse, it is important to determine how many fans you will need, where you will place them and how you will power and control them.
Some greenhouses simply turn their fans on and off, others work with variable speed fans. Many different types and sizes of fans exist and it depends on the type of greenhouse, climate and available space you have, which amount of fans is the optimal choice for you.
Enerdes can model the optimal amount of fans to be placed in your greenhouse and their orientation.
Fan placement is incredibly important in a greenhouse. You need to think about the orientation and the distance between the fans, otherwise vertices may occur in one area, whereas stagnant air occurs in other areas. Stagnant air is very disadvantageous because it causes reduced crop growth and increases the chance for plant diseases and mould.
Information needed to determine the optimal greenhouse fan placement is for example:
Circulation fans hanging in the top of the greenhouse will provide horizontal air circulation as they will spread the air evenly across the entire greenhouse area, resulting in a homogeneous temperature distribution for all plants. It also spreads the introduced fresh air around the whole greenhouse, giving all plants the same CO and CO2 levels. Air distribution hoses or air ducts as well as strategically placed fresh air intakes, help with vertical air circulation. This evens out temperature differences even further, but is especially beneficial to optimizing humidity levels.
Moisture build-up and plant deterioration are avoided when air circulation and air distribution are executed well.
At Enerdes we can help you achieve this and we will design the most optimal air distribution and air circulation system for you. Getting the best air flow to all plants while keeping energy consumption to a minimum is our main goal!
A lot of moisture buildup under the gutter is bad for the crop. This is the result of stagnant air. To prevent a “dead” climate, recirculation fans are installed under the crop gutters, connected to air distribution hoses. The fan ensures that moisture build-up under the gutter is prevented because there is a constant air flow under the crop. The plants are not directly in the airflow of the ventilator, but they do benefit from the air movement that is created. This also results in an increase in production and an energy saving.
With recirculation under the crop, air movement and air mixing creates a more homogeneous temperature, moisture and CO2 distribution in the greenhouse. The more even this climate becomes, the better it is for the plants and this results in higher production.
Recirculation under the crop ensures that the heat and CO2 in the greenhouse are distributed more optimally. This allows for energy savings. In addition, the air displacement ensures a better heat distribution of the tubular rail heating. This results in a lower return water temperature.
Enerdes is the exclusive dealer of EBM Papst EC fans for horticulture. EC technology has both ecological and economic excellence. EC fans move up to 2 times more volume than comparable AC fans at the same power consumption. In addition, they have a very long lifetime and are energy efficient. Our fans can be controlled wirelessly per fan or by means of a 0-10V signal or PWM control.
Our fans can be controlled wirelessly through a computer program. The rotation speed and startup time are easily set for all your fans, for a specific group of fans and even per single fan. Once multiple fans are assigned the same setpoints, the built-in repeaters ensure that the signal is repeated. To protect your data, the sender and receiver use encrypted data. The software is suitable for all EBM Papst EC fans. Installation is easy, we can attach any plug ex-factory (for example Wieland) to make the system plug-and-play. Now the system is ready to use immediately and plug directly into the power outlet and the system works immediately. Besides wireless control, our fans can also be controlled by a 0-10 V signal or PWM control.
The fans under the gutter are coupled to air distribution hoses. The hole pattern in the air distribution hoses ensure that the heat and CO2 reaches the plant in an optimal way. End caps are placed at the end of an air hose and provide more speed at the end of the air hose. In addition, the variably adjustable outlets allow for better control of the climate at the center aisle.
Traditionally AC fans are applied in greenhouses. Enerdes has these available for you and can deliver them quickly in any desirable amount.
We are also the exclusive supplier of EC fans for greenhouses and horticulture companies. EC fans have been developed to be an improvement on AC fans and they have many advantages as stated below:
Axial fans are suitable for low pressure systems, like circulation or recirculation fans in the greenhouse area. These fans are also used for radiation under the gutters, which is important to avert plant diseases and mold development. As well as for air distribution hoses, or air ducts, which improve the air flow and homogeneous climate in your greenhouse even more.
Radial fans are suitable for high pressure systems.
EC fans can be controlled by a computer program or a more simple control cabinet. This will allow you to set your fans at a variable speed and control each fan or each group of fans individually. It is important to adjust the fan speed based on information from temperature differences, relative humidity levels and air pressure measured by sensors placed at different locations in your greenhouse. If desired, Enerdes can provide you with a complete system that includes
