Greenhouse pellet heating, if you buy climate control

For every farmer, a greenhouse is his pride, almost like a wife, into which he tries to invest more and more. Today we decided to consider greenhouse pellet heating if you buy climate control. The important point is that you only need to purchase devices, that is, sensors and thermostats. Weather regulator comes built into every FOCUS pellet boiler. If you select the power, it can supply cheap heat to all greenhouses and households.

If you buy pellet boiler with a program-controlled burner, then a weather controller must be installed on it, which supports the connection of climate control. This is a way to regulate the boiler power and create the desired climatic background. It must be said that the PLUM weather controller can control heating, air conditioning and humidity within the HVAC concept.

 

How does a climate-controlled greenhouse work?

Climate control or climate system in a greenhouse must take into account and control the parameters of heating, air conditioning and watering. Also, some systems take into account CO2 levels, humidity to turn on irrigation and open windows for ventilation. Today we will walk you through the functionality of such a system.

We can use the PLUM microcontroller to create a microclimatic environment in a greenhouse or conservatory. It supports the HVAC concept, which involves simultaneous control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning. In a greenhouse, you additionally need to control irrigation or spraying fog, which we have on sale.

Principle of operation

The operating principle of climate control is the same as that of adjustable heating. The system collects sensor data and turns on equipment that changes parameters. If it is too hot and the light sensor shows excessive sunlight, the window transoms open and the curtains close. Watering is usually carried out according to a schedule, heating is turned on according to temperature sensors outside and inside the greenhouse. An example of the functionality of a climate-controlled greenhouse is shown in the illustration.

 

Peculiarities

Greenhouse pellet heating is good because the boilers come with a built-in programmer, control and climate control. If you are planning a more extensive system with a large number of devices, you can connect an expansion module. Pellet heating can be made for one greenhouse by purchasing boiler in monoblock format or for a group of greenhouses. Moreover, pellet equipment is quite powerful with a wide range, that is, one boiler is enough to heat a house, outbuildings and a greenhouse.

 

Is there an alternative to pellet heating?

There is always an alternative. First of all, these are air heating devices; they usually run on electricity. Farmers are pleased with the ease of installation and efficiency, but it is not a capital solution built into the system design.

Another alternative would be a passive greenhouse with a solar system that heats bulk soil made of stone that retains heat. This is a fairly effective solution for a seasonal greenhouse, allowing you to satisfy the heat needs of plants for free.
