Fan & Pad System
Effective Ventilation & Cooling for Protected Cultivation
Fan & Pad System is a climate-management solution used in protected cultivation structures to support ventilation and cooling.
The system works by moving air through the structure and passing it through cooling pads, helping create a more suitable environment for selected crops under appropriate conditions.
What is a Fan & Pad System?
A Fan & Pad System is designed to support air movement and evaporative cooling inside a protected cultivation structure.
The system generally combines exhaust fans with cooling pads. Fans help move air through the structure, while water flowing over the pads supports the cooling process as air passes through them.
It can be considered for Polyhouse and other protected cultivation projects where environmental management is an important part of the cultivation plan.
How Does It Work?
01 — Air Movement
Exhaust fans draw air through the protected structure.
02 — Air Passes Through Cooling Pads
Outside air is drawn through water-moistened cooling pads.
03 — Cooled Air Enters the Structure
The evaporative cooling process helps reduce the incoming air temperature under suitable environmental conditions.
The exact system design and capacity should be planned according to the structure size, crop requirements and local conditions.
Key Benefits
Improved Air Circulation
Helps move air through the protected cultivation structure.
Evaporative Cooling
Cooling pads use water evaporation to help reduce incoming air temperature under suitable conditions.
Better Environmental Management
Can be used as part of a broader protected cultivation climate-management system.
Crop-Focused Planning
The system can be planned according to the crop, structure and environmental requirements.
