The new design is welcomed by growers, especially those who want to utilize every square meter in their greenhouse as efficiently as possible. "Growers that wanted to install our units to save energy and reduce disease pressure often experienced difficulties with the size of the standard units," explained Ziv Shaked, Drygair's VP Marketing and Sales. "Moving machinery and automation did not allow them to install big units in their operations, as they simply did not have the space for it. Hence Dan Peltinov of our R&D Department redesigned the system and created a smaller version, which is still as effective as the standard unit."
The two separate units, here placed on top of each other, can also be placed 4 meters apart from each other.
The main idea of the new DryGair Split unit is that the machine is now divided into 2 parts, that can be up to 4 m apart, thus the grower can be more flexible deciding on how and where to position the unit. One part can be beneath the tables or on the floor and the other part can be hung overhead or placed on a table. Another option is to place both parts next to each other and hang them.
The dehumidification of the new Drygair machine is still very effective; the split unit can remove approx. 45 liters of water per hour from the greenhouse's air. For each Kwh invested in the DryGair operation, more than 1 L of water is removed. One unit can still cover 500 to 4000 m2. This depends on the type of crop and the unit.
In the split unit, as in all the other DryGair units, the special air distribution concept creates homogenous and uniform climate conditions. DryGair split units are already being used in herbs and flower greenhouses.
