The grownup advantage of this auto is that the oestrus and CO2 stay in the nursery while the humidity in the air is being dispatch , explains Arthur Spruit of Aardam , a Dutch agriculturist of tropical young plants . The automobile in interrogative sentence is the dehumidifier of Israeli company Agam . In 2018 , they installed the first machine and after the positive outcome regarding energy nest egg and the tone of the plant , they decide to order three more . This month , the machine have been delivered and , as we utter , they are finalizing the instalment .

Fungus loomsAardam bring about young plants - mainly Chamaedorea en Dypsis , but also burnt umber and tea plants - for growers all over the macrocosm . The crop ask a lot of water and that ’s why fungus looms . To prevent the occurrence of fungus , dehumidification is essential .
Windows close - energy savingsTraditionally , a greenhouse in the Netherlands is being dehumidified by somewhat get to the windows . However then , not only the humidity will leave the greenhouse , high temperature and CO2 will too , which are all-important for the generation of tropic plants . For this reason , Spruit go to look for an substitute root and during his hunting , he bumped into the so - call Climate Converter of Agam . With this young auto , the ventilation window can remain shut and the machine dehumidifies the air , explains Spruit . " It dry out the air by using hygroscopic saltiness . On top of that , the machine saves push , because it reclaims the latent heath out of the humidness . As the external respiration window are close , the heating plant ( and CO2 ) stays in the nursery , which leave in crushed heat toll . "
Less loss , better qualityQuickly after the first auto was running , Spruit saw less red and a higher calibre of the crop . " There are less fungus . Usually on a dark declivity or winter Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , it could take two or three years till the foliation was dry after they were irrigate . Now , it is only one day . In this manner , there is less hazard for the fungus to make grow . It is also said that the hygroscopic salt kills the fungus . " Less fungus mean less departure , therefore more intersection , and according to Spruit products with an improved tone . " On top of the fact that there are less fungus , there is more CO2 in the air which result in a stronger product . "

Three new machinesDue to the just experience with the first auto , Spruit decided to tell another three machines . This calendar month , they have been deliver out of Israel and the installing is presently being settle .
Renewed germination cellsBesides the leverage of the dehumidifiers , at Aardam , they are also busy with renewing their germination cells . " We have five germination jail cell in which we germinate thenar semen at 30 Degrees Celsius . It was fourth dimension to reincarnate them and as these cells are unremarkably operational for 10 years , we want to implement all the improvement we retrieve of over the last yr . First of all , it is crucial that we will have a higher capacity , because of the increase demand . Besides , the closing off will be improved . The lay out will be so that it can be cleaned easier and also some logistic melioration will be made .
