At Enerdes we can identify the ideal cooling system for your specific greenhouse using Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling. We compare different scenarios between evaporative cooling and active cooling with chillers and optimize the benefit of both. Sometimes this will lead to an efficient combination of both methods, lowering operational costs and giving extra cooling capacity when needed.

Cooling systems for the most stable climate in your greenhouseAt Enerdes we have decades of experience in the agriculture and horticulture industry. Our greenhouse cooling systems and chillers are market-leading and our engineers are the most experienced out there to develop the ideal system for your individual location and crop.
It is possible to combine several systems to get optimal temperature results. For example a chilled water system during humid months with an evaporative cooling system that is active in less humid periods and a heating system for cooler months.
Our specialist determine the heating and cooling demand for your greenhouse and what methods are most suitable to achieve the desired temperature.
Many greenhouses revert to ventilation and evaporative cooling to achieve the desired temperature. However, in warm and humid climates, it is not possible to cool down the greenhouse sufficiently with evaporative cooling. Other technology must be used, namely, active cooling. This cooling technology can be compared with air conditioning, but on a huge scale. It requires a chiller to provide the water and an air handling unit to cool and dehumidify the air. Read more
When ventilation and shading are not sufficient, greenhouse temperatures can be controlled by means of evaporative cooling, also referred to as swamp cooling. When water evaporates in the air, energy is needed. This energy comes from heat, which is dissipated from the hot air. The more water can evaporate in the air, the more heat is dissipated and thus the more the greenhouse is cooled. Read more
To cool a greenhouse, the first measures are ventilation and shading. Ventilation can be achieved by creating air circulation with greenhouse fans and opening roof vents and shutter vents. Read more
A cooling tower is used in greenhouses, mainly when dealing with excess heat from electricity generation. Greenhouses need electricity for things like lighting, often produced by a combined heat and power (CHP) system. This system, while generating electricity, also produces heat. If this heat isn’t needed, the cooling tower steps in to reduce it, ensuring the smooth operation of the CHP system. Read more

Enerdes is part of the Reinders Corporation and has been developing and producing cooling systems for greenhouses since 1910. We optimize every greenhouse cooling installation to the unique requirements and conditions of the customer’s greenhouse. Together we will look into how we can achieve a robust climate control solution that will provide your greenhouse with appropriate cooling with minimal operating costs.
We determine the heating and cooling demand for your greenhouse and what methods are most suitable to achieve the desired temperature for outdoor climate in all seasons over the last few years, desired indoor climate, plant type and plant evaporation production, heat production by lights and other machines, type of greenhouse, volume, area, roof and wall type.
We can advise you on which climate control installation is most suitable for you and what capacity you will need. We make sure you have sufficient cooling and heating capacity without making unnecessary investments.
