How to Calculate the Right Fan Capacity for Your Greenhouse

One of the factors to consider when establishing a greenhouse is how much fresh air your plants need. This fresh air will help your plants grow up tall and strong. To ensure air reaches your plants, you’ll have to select the proper size fan to move air into and out of your greenhouse. Fan size can be a little bit difficult to gauge but it’s really important for your plants to be happy


Realizing the significance of proper ventilation in the greenhouse

Good air ventilation is crucial for the development of thriving plants. Without clean air, your plants may fail to thrive, and they may even fall ill due to excessive heat or moisture. A nice fan is great for keeping the air moving, and healthy, for your plants. It's like giving your plants a breath of fresh air


Factors to consider in determining the fan capacity required for your greenhouse

There are a few things you’ll want to consider when you choose a fan. The first is to consider the size of your greenhouse . The bigger the space, the larger the fan you will need. Also, consider the weather in your area. If it’s super hot or super sunny, a stronger fan might be a necessity. Don’t forget what kinds of plants are involved. Some plants desire more air than others

What to Consider When Choosing a Greenhouse Ventilation Fan

Guide to choosing the best fan size for your greenhouse

You should firstly understand how big is your greenhouse. Then consider how frequently you want to have to replace the air. In most greenhouses, you want to replace the air about once a minute. To calculate the size of the fan, multiply the length, width and height of your greenhouse to find the volume. Then, you need to find a fan capable of moving that much air every minute. YuyunSanhe has different size fans available, so you can get the right size that suits your preference


Providing proper air circulation for plants to grow well and stay healthy

The right fan is only the beginning. You will also need to position it well so that air flows all around your plants and not just on one side. You may need several fans, if you have a large greenhouse. Also, watch your plants. If they start to look unhappy, you may need to relocate your fans or use additional fans

Tips on how to keep and adjust your fan volume in relation to varying weather conditions

Weather is variable throughout the year, so you want to be able to respond accordingly with your fans. On a hot summer day you could just need to run your fans more to cool the air. You may not have to run them as often in the winter. You should also be sure to clean your fans often so that they function properly
