Temperature and Relative Humidity in Greenhouses and Cannabis Production

There’s a saying: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and this is no different with your sensors and controls of the greenhouse/indoor farming equipment that you use and rely upon everyday. Similar to any controlled environment, it is vital to monitor and proactively interpret the pressure, temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2) supplementation, and irrigation of your growing space. Losing control of your environment can lead to cultivation headaches ranging from poor air flow to extreme temperatures; additionally, high humidity and low irrigation rates can lead to the spread of disease and viruses.  Continue reading “Temperature and Relative Humidity in Greenhouses and Cannabis Production”

Get Your Kicks with a Yellow Card

Let’s spill the penal-tea: Yellow cards are traditionally not part of a goal-oriented team, but the UL Solutions’ Plastics Recognition Program Yellow Cards are a forward thinking solution to promote the safety and quality of your plastic products within the HVAC Industry.

Puns aside, the UL Solutions Yellow Card is a globally recognized, third party guarantee that your polymeric materials meet both regulatory and safety standards. Traditionally the UL Yellow Card is used by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to meet performance expectations of regulatory bodies and sometimes used as a low-maintenance marketing tool.

What are Room Pressure and Room Status Monitors?

Differential pressure between two rooms prevents dust, particulates, and pathogens from entering or exiting one room and going into the other. Depending on the relationship between rooms, one room will be under positive pressure when referenced against the other. This positive-negative pressure relationship between two spaces is the main idea behind clean rooms and isolation rooms. To ensure the differential pressure relationship is maintained, a measuring device must be used.

Magnehelic® Gages Monitoring Isolation Room Pressure

Room pressure monitors and room status monitors measure, display, and transmit the differential pressure reading between two rooms. In general, room pressure monitors only monitor differential pressure. On the other hand, room status monitors monitor differential pressure and additional parameters such as relative humidity, temperature, air change, or door status. They are both used in critical applications that require critical low differential pressure relationships.  Continue reading “What are Room Pressure and Room Status Monitors?”
