FOGGING SYSTEMS FOR GREENHOUSES - TOP CLIMATE
LUBING GreenTec fogging systems are designed to take advantage of the principle of direct evaporative cooling in order to reduce the temperature and increase the humidity of greenhouse air.
This contributes significantly to creating ideal conditions for plant and flower growth.
With this innovative technology, a controlled environment can be maintained that promotes healthy and vigorous plant development, ensuring optimal growth and lush flowering.
LUBING GreenTec fogging systems are the perfect solution for those who want to achieve outstanding results in plant and flower cultivation, ensuring a comfortable and healthy environment.
Advanced design has resulted in a system that is extremely easy to assemble and maintain.
Although some fogging systems require the use of osmotized water to ensure optimal operation, with LUBING fogging there is no need to worry about this detail and can also operate with regular water, making installation and maintenance even easier.
In addition, the components are made of high-quality materials that ensure a long service life.
ADVANTAGES OF GREENTEC FOGGING-SYSTEMS
LUBING GreenTec Fogging-Systems use the principle of direct evaporative cooling for effective cooling and humidification of the ambient air, thus making a significant contribution to optimum growth conditions.
• Optimum cooling performance and homogeneous distribution of moisture due to 70 bar water pressure and special high-pressure nozzles: To achieve rapid evaporation of the water mist and thus good cooling performance without wetting, the water drops must be smaller than 20 micrometers. The GreenTec high-pressure nozzles produce a drop size of only 5 micrometers.
• Reduction of irrigation
• Increase yields through stable humidity and associated increased plant production: Stable humidity in the greenhouse helps plants keep
the stomata open for a stable supply with nutrients.
• Easy to install
• Possibility to control the different areas of the greenhouse separately
• Uncompromising quality and reliability
FOGGING SYSTEM
LUBING’s high pressure fogging system, also known as the Fogging System, allows for fogging and humidification inside greenhouses.
A very important feature is the size of the droplets, which are smaller than 20 microns and do not reach the plants or the floor, keeping humidity under control at all times.
The droplets, so small, have the ability to absorb heat and release coolness using the adiabatic system.
The pipes are made of stainless steel, as are the nozzles.
Interruption of atomization does not cause dripping, and the operating pressure ranges from 70 to 100 bar.
The Fogging System can be used in combination with Pad Cooling.
FOG OR MIST SYSTEM?
Mist system | Fog system LUBING GreenTec | |
|---|---|---|
Pressure, bar/psi | 7 bar or 100 psi | 70 bar or 1.000 psi |
Droplet size | Large, “rain effect” 65 – 100 µ | Small, “fog effect” 5 – 15 µ |
Cooling effect | Very low | Very high |
Water consumption | Very high
(up to 37 l / h / nozzle) | Low
(5 l / h / nozzle) |
Evaporation speed | Low (only 10 – 20%, the rest falls like rain) | Very high (80 – 99%) |
Cooling | Waterfall cooling | Evaporative cooling |
Humidity | Wet floor, plants, walls, internal equipment | Not significant |
Material | Plastic, cheap, short-lived, too much wear | Stainless steel, durable, long lasting |
Cost | Low cost | Expensive |
Risk | Fungal diseases, crop/yield loss | Very low |
Mist system
- Rain effect
- Wet floor and plants
- Irrigation principle
- Fungal diseases
- Inefficient crop production
Fog system
- «Dry» fog
- Precise humidity control
- Evaporative cooling principle
- Natural climatic conditions
- Stress-free crop growth
Why choose the Fog system
The comparison between Fog and Mist cooling systems has always been a debated topic among greenhouse owners.
Many choose the Mist system for its lower price, but in some countries where it has been tried in recent years, significant problems have arisen.
After damaging crops and wasting money, many greenhouse owners now much prefer the Fog system.
With Mist the results did not live up to expectations and caused considerable economic damage.
Mist system:
- powdery mildew
- in the production of tomatoes and roses
- too much humidity in the greenhouse
Mist system:
- low humidity
- withered leaves
- low light absorption
- low photosynthesis
- low yields
It is important to carefully consider the risks and benefits of both systems before making a decision.
Although the price may be attractive, it is essential to carefully evaluate the potential negative consequences that could arise from the use of the Mist system.
It is better to invest in a more reliable and effective Fog cooling system to ensure the safety of your crops and your company’s profits in the long term.
