Intelligent Vent and Fan Controllers using Temperature, Humidity, Rain and Wind.
Note: Each independent vent uses 2 switches. Each independent fan or heater uses 1 switch. This means you can have any combination as long as it doesn’t use more than six or ten switches.
Farmers that operate greenhouses in the summer - when ventilation is continually needed - can save money by replacing mechanical ventilation with natural air exchange.
The time it takes for the project to pay for itself through reduced electrical use and savings is determined by various factors. It includes the growing season and mechanical ventilation run-time, e size and cost of installation. For most greenhouse growers, sidewall vents or rollup sides are a low-cost retrofit option.
AutoVent’s greenhouse vent motors and environmental control systems work together. Autovent makes your life easier by not having to hand crank the greenhouse vents every time it gets sunny during those intense spring months.
The programmable Captain series offers convenient automatic control
of most greenhouse ventilation and lighting equipment. The system includes a
temperature probe for ambient temperature, and also interfaces with an optional anemometer sensing wind speed for additional energy savings. The Controller can also use Humidity for optimal environmental control.
