Control over CO₂ distribution in the greenhouse

CO₂ plays a vital role in crop growth. In modern, well-insulated greenhouses, natural CO₂ levels drop rapidly. This directly affects the growth and yield of the crop. That is why many growers opt for an active CO₂ system.

A well-functioning CO₂ system starts with clean flue gases. These must contain sufficient CO₂, with the lowest possible NOx emissions and no carbon monoxide. Only then can flue gases be safely used for CO₂ dosing in the greenhouse. Zantingh supplies complete CO₂ systems for greenhouse horticulture. We take into account the flue gas source, the greenhouse design, the crop, and the desired CO₂ distribution in the greenhouse. Based on these factors, we determine which fans, controls, and piping structures are required. Our systems consist of three interconnected components: CO₂ fans, CO₂ calculations, and CO detection.

The CO₂ fans transport flue gases from the boiler or CHP plant to the greenhouse. Where necessary, the fans mix the flue gases with outside air. The fans are made of stainless steel and equipped with control technology and safety features tailored to the installation.

To ensure even distribution, we calculate the piping network in advance using our own software. We take the greenhouse design, crop type, and heat supply in the greenhouse into account. This results in a piping network that distributes CO₂ evenly across the sections.

Safety remains an integral part of the system. Using CO detectors, we continuously monitor the flue gases for carbon monoxide. If the CO concentration becomes too high, the system intervenes automatically. This monitoring is particularly important for installations with multiple flue gas sources.

Zantingh provides support from the initial design phase and handles the engineering, construction, and control of the complete system. This ensures you receive a CO₂ installation that suits your greenhouse, your crop, and your production methods.

Service and maintenance

A CO₂ system only works effectively when the controls, flue gas quality, and safety systems continue to function properly. Therefore, we provide inspections, adjustments, and maintenance for fans, control technology, and CO detection. This ensures the CO₂ distribution remains stable and your installation continues to operate safely within the required standards.
