How to Control Humidity in a Greenhouse Without Skyrocketing Your Heating Bill
Stagnant humidity is the leading cause of crop damage in greenhouses and results in high costs for fungicide treatments and wasted energy. Until now, the standard solution has been to “turn up the heat” while opening the vents to expel the humid air. This is a waste of energy: you’re heating the outside at your own expense.
The HYDRO CONTROL x BIO POWER GROUP Solution
We install thermodynamic dehumidifiers that are a game-changer for greenhouse growers.
How does it actually work?
Unlike air extractors, these units operate in a closed-loop system.
- Moisture removal: Humid air passes over an evaporator that condenses the water. The moisture is removed, radically purifying the greenhouse atmosphere.
- Heat recovery: Condensation releases energy. The system recovers this energy to heat the dry air before it is returned to the greenhouse.
- Solar Power: Coupled with our photovoltaic panels, the system operates on direct self-consumption. The system can be powered by electricity from your photovoltaic panels during the day, when plant activity and treatment needs are highest.
- The result: Healthier crops, fewer chemical treatments, and an energy bill reduced by two-thirds compared to conventional heating.
Finance Your Thermodynamic Dehumidifier
Did you know that the government encourages the installation of high-performance dehumidifiers in greenhouses through the CEE program?
The AGRI-TH-117 form allows you to receive significant financial assistance for the installation of HYDRO CONTROL units.
Why choose BIO POWER GROUP?
Our status as an EEC partner allows us to offer you a “turnkey” solution:
- Validation of your project’s eligibility starting with the technical study
- Calculation of the grant based on your greenhouse area and deduction of the EEC grant directly from your quote.
- Installation of the technical solution, whether or not it is integrated with your solar panels.
- Handling of all administrative paperwork.
Now is the time to modernize your production facilities: solar energy powers the machinery, and CEE grants finance the investment.
