Greenhouse Ventilation: Negative Air Pressure and Passive Systems

With negative air systems, warm air is sucked out with exhaust fans - air intake is through shutters. Sizing of equipment will depend upon the greenhouse dimensions, the season of the year, the crop and the transpiration rate of the crop.

Passive systems use roof vents and wall openings; air flow through a vent can either be up (warm air rising) or down (cold air dropping). Conditions at any given moment will determine the direction.

Outside wind and interior air circulation (typically horizontal air flow, HAF) will influence the performance of both negative air and passive systems.

The two systems can be used in the same greenhouse - but not at the same time. Negative systems require restricted air intake openings to achieve air flow speed. Because of this, open vents or sidewalls make exhaust fans almost completely ineffective.

control for roll up motor
Incremental Controller for Roll Up Motors (thermostat input)
Price: $980.00 plus tax(es)

Automate your roll up walls for a more consistent environment and crop.
Operates 2 roll up motors - they plug into any standard 110v. outlet. The motors are individually fused.
The incremental controllers energize every 10 minutes (adjustable), if the temperature is above the set point, the wall rises 6" (adjustable).
If the temperature is below the set point, the wall drops 6".
Limit switches on the motors determine the lower and upper travel of the motors.
Model VEC-TI is controlled with a thermostat (not supplied - see product code VETH)
CSA pre-approval (VEC-CSA) is available as an option.
