As outdoor temperatures rise, so do the temperatures inside a greenhouse. Reduce greenhouse temperatures naturally this summer with greenhouse cooling systems and supplies. Excessive heat will probably damage or kill plants. Cool down crops naturally this summer with Gothic Arch Greenhouses Inc. greenhouse cooling systems.
Buzz Sierke, president of Gothic Arch Greenhouses, a 70-year-old family owned and operated business, is an excessive heat expert. “Centuries ago, when the Egyptians would either hang wet blankets across openings or have servants fan them, evaporative cooling methods were being used. Luckily, there are many mechanical options available to growers today. This is a powerful way of inexpensively cooling crops. We have a huge selection of greenhouse cooling products, which are the highest quality and lowest prices on the market,” Sierke asserts.
Evaporative Greenhouse Cooling
Evaporative Cooling, like perspiration, naturally cools down a structure. Just like sweat cools the body, evaporative cooling methods rely on heat and air movement to turn water into vapor. When it evaporates, the temperature reduces inside the structure. When applying this idea to a greenhouse, the ambient temperature inside can cool as much as 20 degrees through evaporation. Heat beating down into a greenhouse creates constant high temperatures. This strains the cooling system, adds to the overall cost of the operation, and imposes stress on the plants. To reduce these costs and risks, Gothic Arch Greenhouses encourages growers to consider an additional cooling system.
When considering using evaporative cooling methods, Sierke recommends keeping track of the Dry Bulb and the Wet Bulb temperatures. The Dry Bulb is the “regular” air temperature, whereas the Wet Bulb temperature shows the lowest reading reached when using evaporation. Using these two readings, the friendly, knowledgeable staff at Gothic Arch Greenhouses can custom calculate both relative humidity and the level of energy that needs to change the liquid to vapor, and thus efficiently cool the inside of the structure. The folks at Gothic Arch Greenhouses, a highly respected leader in the industry, help accommodate particular needs. “Available, we have the Evaporative Cooling System, the evaporative cooling pads, the WayCool portable evaporative cooler, the Pro-Kool evaporative cooler for spot cooling, and Atomized Fog systems,” Sierke asserts. Plant enthusiasts know that erratic peaks in heat and humidity directly influence growing situations.
Foggers
By installing an Atomized Fog Greenhouse Cooling system from Gothic Arch Greenhouses, gardeners can control temperature conditions year-round. Proven to promote healthy plant growth, fogging systems reduce the need for irrigation and other water related methods in summer, and can be utilized in winter also to help control frost.
Don’t sweat over rising temperatures in the greenhouse. Whether it’s an entire evaporative cooling system, fans, foggers or cooling pads made from a specially made cellulose paper, impregnated with insoluble anti-rot salts, stiffening saturates and wetting agents, let the horticulture experts at Gothic Arch Greenhouses custom design a natural based evaporative cooling system Visit Gothic Arch Greenhouses ‘Website for more or call 1 -800-531-4769 and talk to an expert.
