Natural Ventilation Strategies
Greenhouses are designed to harness the power of sunlight for optimal plant growth. However, during hot summers or in regions with high ambient temperatures, maintaining a comfortable environment inside the greenhouse can be challenging. Minimizing energy consumption while achieving effective cooling is crucial, especially in areas with limited electricity.
This is where a well-designed natural ventilation system shines. It offers the most efficient method for air exchange, promoting optimal temperature, humidity, and air quality within your greenhouse.
Benefits of a Natural Ventilation System
● Energy-Efficient: Utilizes natural forces like wind and temperature differences to drive air circulation, minimizing reliance on electricity.
● Cost-Effective: Significantly more economical compared to using exhaust fans or complex semi-closed systems.
● Simple Operation: Multiple vent configurations are available for easy installation and use.
Prasada Greenhouse Ventilation Solutions
Prasada Greenhouse offers a variety of vent options to meet your specific needs:
1.Roof Vents: Hot air naturally rises and accumulates at the greenhouse's highest point. Roof vents, particularly double or single-sided models, can be up to five times more effective than sidewall vents in removing this hot air. Prasada offers both fixed and closable roof vents, with closable models utilizing a rack and pinion system with electric motors for easy automation and integration with intelligent control systems.
2.Roof Roll-Up Vents: Ideal for film-covered greenhouses, roof roll-up vents offer a space-saving solution for maximizing ventilation without compromising structural integrity, especially in windy or hot areas. These vents can even be designed to open fully, allowing for maximum airflow. Electric motors provide convenient operation.
3. Sidewall Vents: Functioning like windows, sidewall vents allow for air exchange between the greenhouse and the outside environment. Prasada provides various sidewall vent options to suit different greenhouse wall materials：
● Rack and pinion driven with electric motor: Ideal for glass or polycarbonate greenhouses.
● Roll-up type: Perfect for film greenhouses, available in both manual and electric motor options.
Additional Considerations:
For areas with high humidity, especially tropical regions, Prasada recommends pairing open vents with insect netting for pest prevention. Selecting the optimal vent configuration depends on various factors. Our experienced engineers will work closely with you to analyze your greenhouse design and suggest the most suitable solution based on calculations and their extensive expertise.
