Project stages: Consult, design and result
1 Consult
Enerdes was consulted to understand the specific needs for protecting and controlling the indoor climate of the greenhouse housing the parabolic mirrors. This consultation included assessing environmental factors like dust and sand storms to ensure the mirrors’ optimal performance.
2 Design
Enerdes designed a custom climate control system to maintain a clean and transparent environment within the greenhouse. This system protects the mirrors and turning mechanisms from external elements. The greenhouse, constructed by Kubo, ensures the longevity of the mirrors and supports sustainable energy production.
3 Result
The implementation of Enerdes’ climate system significantly improved the operational efficiency of GlassPoint’s solar power plant. The controlled environment ensures the effectiveness of the mirrors, contributing to the plant’s capacity to provide 850 megawatts of thermal power and 26.5 megawatts of solar electricity. This helps reduce CO2 emissions by 376,000 tons per year, equivalent to the annual emissions of 80,000 cars.
What climate systems have we installed?
Cooling Pads: Fan and Pad Cooling System
When outside air is drawn in, the use of cooling pads is the most efficient way to cool the greenhouse. By using cooling pads, the ambient temperature can be significantly lowered.- Long product lifetime
- Use of frames to increase stability
- Universally applicable
- Low maintenance
- Environmentally friendly
Double Air Distribution Hoses (⌀ 470 mm till 940 mm)
Enerdes engineered an air distribution system that has transformed greenhouse operations worldwide. Our legacy includes numerous patents in greenhouse technology, with the double air distribution hose being a standout innovation.- Unparalleled uniformity in crop growth.
- Exceptionally consistent and reliable yield rates.
- Customizable end caps for improved plant quality in centre aisles and better working conditions.
Air Handling Unit (Custom)
Enerdes offers specialized air handling units tailored for greenhouses. Our units ensure optimal climate control, balancing temperature and humidity precisely.- Capable of efficient operation in both limited and expansive greenhouse spaces.
- Engineered for optimal performance in varied climates, from mild to more extreme conditions.
- An advanced, user-friendly control interface, allowing for precise adjustments for different sizes, path lengths, and environmental conditions in greenhouses.
EC fans (Radial Flow)
Radial EC fans represent an ideal solution for greenhouse environments, ensuring uniform air distribution throughout by circulating air radially.- Achieve uniform air distribution in spaces of any size.
- Incorporate energy-efficient motors to significantly cut electricity use.
- Offer cost savings over traditional fans with easy, precise control for various greenhouse sizes and conditions.
