HNT is an acronym for energy-efficient cultivation with optimum production yields. The focus here is on preventing energy losses, minimising frost damage, and lowering the pipe temperature when heating the greenhouse. Vostermans developed the Multifan V-FloFan ventilator to meet these specific requirements. Thanks to the specially designed, aerodynamic outflow cap, the V-FloFan recirculates heat in the greenhouse via a vertical airflow. As a result, heat is reintroduced at the level of the plant, making it possible to reduce pipe temperature and minimise energy loss. The V-FloFan circulates air horizontally as well as vertically, thereby creating an optimum and uniform climate at the plant level. With the help of the V-FloFan, growers can effectively manage the humidity at plant level and easily and efficiently avoid damage caused by differences in humidity. The V-FloFan can be used for a variety of crops (low/medium/high) and in greenhouses with or without screens or assimilation lighting.
The original V-FloFan, developed in cooperation with Wageningen UR and growers, has undergone further development resulting in:
- Reduction of the noise level by 50% to a low level of 45 dB(a), allowing the ventilator to provide an almost silent working environment.
- Reduction of the energy consumption of the ventilator by up to 40%.
