Active dehumidification is the command tool for positively charm growing conditions , achieving substantial energy savings , and also avoiding disease .
Bosman Van Zaal has been realise customized dehumidification result for customer such as WUR Wageningen , Bayer Crop Science , B - Four Agro , and Grow - up Farms since 2015 .
Bosman Van Zaal ’s R&D department has now get by to transform these customized solutions into a series of dehumidifiers that are plug - and - wager applicable for a wide range of craw and grow systems . " Whether in high - tech climate chambers , growing potted plants , or fruiting vegetable crops , the OptiDry dehumidifiers can be implemented seamlessly in any cultivation system . "
F - gases regularisation creates challenge in horticultureThe dehumidifiers used in horticulture typically operate with celluloid refrigerants that contribute importantly to greenhouse gas emissions due to their high-pitched GWP ( Global Warming Potential ) .
According to the F - gases regulation EU 2024/573 , the cut-rate sale of dehumidifiers with these refrigerant within Europe will be phased out between 16 March 2025 and 12 March 2025 . " This means that the service and maintenance of such devices will become uncertain in the future tense , which may affect usable reliability " , the developer say .
small - GWP refrigerants are also currently under blast in Europe due to the fact that these refrigerants contain PFAS . " As a resultant , really only natural refrigerants are hereafter - proof . That leaves only 3 program ; CO2 , Ammonia , and Propane . "
This is the ground why Bosman Van Zaal started a development process for the OptiDry series of dehumidifiers several years ago . These models use the born refrigerant R290 ( propane ) , which , with a GWP of just 3 , barely contributes to the greenhouse effect .
The OptiDry series offers a future - proof solution . Thanks to the use of R290 , these dehumidifiers forgather all current and succeeding legal requirements . Moreover , R290 has more favorable energetic dimension than synthetic refrigerant , resulting in lower energy consumption and operating price .
The OptiDry Compact XThe Optidry Compact X is design to dry air very efficiently and can be easily connected to exist or new chilled urine or free cool down lap by wry cooling system or basin water . The X stick out for cross - flow rut money changer , which is integrated into the whole . Using this additional high temperature money changer saves 30 - 50 % on cooling capacity . The OptiDry Compact X is available in two dissimilar versions to beseem every growing situation .
The OptiDry Advanced DXThe Optidry Advanced DX is a compact , efficient unit designed for dry out , cooling , and heating line in a plug - and - maneuver data formatting . These social unit can be easy install in nursery or sum to live plant life growth chambers for improved dehumidification .
As one of the first dehumidifiers to use natural refrigerant R290 ( propane ) , the Optidry Advanced DX offer low energy consumption compare to synthetical refrigerating model . R290 ( propane ) is therefore not only extremely efficient and environmentally favorable but also future - proof in contrast to synthetical refrigerant .
Features of the OptiDry Advanced DX include lightweight models ( 105 KG ) for soft installation , high - efficiency dehumidification capacity of up to 4 l / h*KWh , environmentally friendly and succeeding - proof refrigerant R-290 ( propane ) , availability with airsock for exercise under culture gutters and/or container scheme .
OptiDry Advanced DX is also available as a hydroloop variant , with which heat can be removed as required via a water circuit . This also allows alive cooling or heating , thus allow active climate control .
' With the OptiDry serial publication , growers can importantly reduce their energy consumption without having to make concessions on quality or culture security , regardless of the crop . what is more , we consider it is important to supply the sector with next - proof initiation . With its R-290 rude refrigerant , the OptiDry Advanced is not only ready for the time to come , it is also technically at the top of its field , ' tell Edwin Snabel .
