The importance of providing adequate ventilation of glasshouses has been required for many years.

In today’s horticultural markets, the need for reliability and efficiency, whilst achieving optimum glasshouse climate conditions, is a pre-requisite for today’s commercial growers.

The primary need for ventilation in horticulture is to prevent excessive rise of temperature. This is achieved by using sufficient outside cool air to replace the hotter, humid glasshouse air, carrying away the heat trapped in the glasshouse during periods of sunshine.

By providing flexibility in fan applications within glasshouses, Hydor ensures that system designs increase air movement, thereby having a significant effect in reducing fungal diseases such as Botrytis, particularly in the winter months when vents are closed and natural airflow is reduced.

Of course ventilation systems for horticulture are more than fans alone. A properly designed and installed ventilation system includes air inlets and outlets, control panels and evaporative cooling for humidity control.

Hydor’s extensive range of products allow us to provide the market with the very best in ventilation and glasshouse climate control systems.

Our systems provide a comprehensive array of features including the supply, operation and regulation of fans, curtains, heaters, cooling systems, scales, lighting, management programs and data collection. An extensive range of drive systems enables Hydor to control roof and side inlets for vents in glasshouses.

As designers and manufacturers of complete environmental ventilation and control systems, Hydor has worked closely with commercial growers to provide optimum results in the management and output of their crops in today’s increasingly competitive environment.
