Hothouse insulated with second-generation foam with a ventilation system
Title of the offer
Hothouse insulated with second-generation foam with a ventilation system
Offer description
The subject matter of this Invitation is a comprehensive technology which includes all aspects of building and equipping a hothouse insulated with second-generation foam together with ventilation, foam generation and climate control systems.
The hothouse is based on a standard Venlo greenhouse design, modified for the purposes of foam insulation. The partitions (roof and walls) bear a certain similarity to plastic film hothouses covered with two layers of film with air between them. In this technology, due to the use of foam, the partitions have a different design; instead of a system for pumping air between film layers, there is a foam generating system. The hothouse was designed with no protective screens and energy-saving curtains, and totally differs in equipment from greenhouses and hothouses available in the market. Therefore, it was important to develop an entire system for climate control. The technology includes:
1. Second-generation partition foam system (referred to as a linear system) together with the technical design documentation of the hothouse and of the foam generation system in AutoCAD (DWG) format.
2. Hothouse ventilation system which uses foam as roof insulation, together with the hothouse assembly instructions (including the assembly of vents) and the film stretching system.
3. Climate control system, including a microchip climate computer which controls the operation of all devices in the hothouse insulated with second-generation foam, and device control algorithms together with source code of hothouse control software.
