Hortivision is spring up an innovative dehumidification system for glasshouse that also set aside raiser to cool the climate in summertime . While dehumidify or chilling , this system of rules can simultaneously extract heat from the nursery , stash away it in a buffer zone for later usance . This new construct is now being tested at Holstein Flowers , a gerbera grower in De Lier , where the system will be installed in an existing glasshouse .
Hortivision was founded last twelvemonth by Maurice Hartman and Hans van Tilborgh , who realise many dehumidification system at other agriculturist in their early career . " With the conception we will now practice at Holstein Flowers , we are taking it one whole step further , " Hans van Tilborgh state . " In enceinte parts of the year , this installing does what such a system of rules already does at several growers of ornamental plants and vegetables . Namely , it dehumidifies the greenhouse with outside air so that the concealment can stick around shut longer . If it is moth-eaten outside , the air treatment building block can also heat the extraneous air . Completely new to this is a result we have bring for extracting warmth with the same aura - handling social unit . In this path , the grower can extract heat from their nursery and store it in a buffer . "
program at Holstein FlowersHortivision designed the installation on behalf of Holstein Flowers , where Van Tilborgh was already a intimate face . In 2012 , he was involve in the development of the Futura greenhouse , the new of Holstein Flowers ' two locations . It was partly for this reason that the grower put the question of how to energetically ameliorate the older Bastille location from 2003 to Hortivision . " When improving this somewhat older greenhouse , we necessitate the Futura greenhouse as a quotation , " add together Van Tilborgh . " The prominent dispute is that back then , it was an innovative climate system in a new - build position . Now , we are dealing with equip into an existing glasshouse and with existing installations . So it was important to first map out the current situation properly and make computation so that we could match the raw techniques in properly . "
Different designsThe whole task begin by taking stock of the existing installations and chromosome mapping the energy hang . Based on this , Hortivision , together with the client , went through several potential designs . " For lesson , one of the ideas was also to go through a third CRT screen installation . There were already two string up in this greenhouse , but structurally and in terms of integration , this have too many problems , making a third screen too expensive . finally , also based on the experience with melody handling units in Holstein Flowers ' Futura greenhouse , we arrived at a solution with multiple air palm units . " Van Tilborgh and Hartman are enthusiastic about the active input by the grower . " Mathieu van Holstein is someone who knows what he wants and , with prevision , was looking for an installation that - maybe not now - but in the future can also pull vim from the greenhouse . This is how the theme and finally the pattern for tune treat unit that can recover heat and then salt away it in a buffer store amount to us . "
Energy - efficient and future - proofAfter consulting firm AAB economically calculated Hortivision ’s design , Hortivision was commission to realize the system . The troupe plan and develop the total system itself , and with reliable partners , the aviation handling units will be build into the greenhouse and join to the fundamental heating system . " Eventually , the 6 - hectare glasshouse will have 12 double air travel handling unit that draw in outside air from the deck and distribute it into the greenhouse via trunks . Once the air handle unit are set up in the greenhouse , they can dehumidify and cool the nursery with external zephyr and peradventure hot up that atmosphere as well . The part in this scheme that provides rut recovery will be commissioned at a later leg . To apply warmth retrieval , the cultivator will first have to invest in a warmth pump and possibly a storage buffer store . The most significant affair for now is that this plant is amply prepared for this function . That is just where this client ’s indirect request lay : an get-up-and-go - efficient and future - proof mood installation . "
