Circulation fan

Product Description

Circulation fans are one of the most important accessories for a greenhouse. The circulation fan has several different functions all which help the plants. The main goal of a circulating fan is to create an even flow of air throughout the greenhouse, but there are many other benefits to the use of a circulation fan.

1. Removes air stratification. When the air within a greenhouse stratifies, it becomes stagnant. The air moves in one direction and does not promote healthy growth for the plants. A circulation fan operates as its name sounds. The fan will circulate the air in the greenhouse.

2. Helps to control air temperature. As the air moves within the greenhouse, the temperature is adjusted. There are no “temperature spots” when the air is moving. The ambient temperature of the air and room will reach the hot and cold corners of the greenhouse, which creates a healthy growing environment.

3. Promotes air quality. This is perhaps the best function of a circulation fan. The air moves with a circulating fan which cuts down on the growth of fungus. Stagnant air allows fungus and disease to grow. Properly moving air is like providing fresh air which cuts down on disease outbreaks within the greenhouse environment.

4. Dries the leaves of the plants which also minimizes disease. Flowers such as orchids cannot have water on their leaves, so a circulation fan is a must in this type of greenhouse. As the air moves, carbon dioxide moves as well, helping to promote new growth on the plants.
