HP'AIR
The HP’air dehumidifier is an advanced solution specially designed to meet the stringent requirements of INDOOR crops or medical cannabis. This multifunctional system not only provides dehumidification but also heating, cooling, and ventilation for the growing environment. By maintaining an optimal climate during each growth phase, HP’air allows cultivation without the need for phytosanitary treatments while ensuring high and consistent yields. It adapts to the specific needs of the grower, taking into account climatic variations and different stages of cultivation. Finally, it can dehumidify without heating when necessary.
Multifunctional and high-performance Air Treatment Unit
Possible applications:
- Suitable for any crop requiring a temperature above 15°C in controlled environments.
- Greenhouse or indoor crops. A flexible system that can adapt to existing setups.
- Ideal for all crops requiring high dehumidification power for relatively low humidity levels (40-60%).
- Ideally installed outside the greenhouse.
The dehumidifier stands out for its ability to precisely regulate humidity to prevent fungal diseases such as botrytis, by maintaining a dry and consistent climate (VPD between 1.2 and 1.5 if necessary). It offers optimal management of airflow temperature, adjusting the amount of heat or cooling as needed for the greenhouse, to avoid stressing the crops. HP’air operates with high energy efficiency, thanks to an additional heat exchanger of the dual-flow type, making the system ultra-efficient at low humidity levels. Additionally, its ventilation system ensures high air circulation.
Dehumidify without heating: YES, it's possible
HP’air features two condensers, one on the greenhouse air flow and the other outside with independent ventilation. Depending on the heating or cooling needs of the greenhouse and/or the unit, the external condenser expels the excess heat. A regulation algorithm developed by AirGaïa precisely controls the excess heat and airflow temperature.
