Air Conditioning System for Cannabis Greenhouse or Cultivation Room

Air Conditioning System to Regulate the Temperature of a Cannabis Greenhouse or Cultivation Room

Using an air conditioning system to regulate the temperature of a cannabis greenhouse or grow room is a very effective method. Here are some detailed recommendations and considerations:

Choosing the right air conditioning system

Type:

Split AC (Split AC): for small to medium sized grow rooms, easy to install.

Central AC (Central AC): suitable for large greenhouses or centralised control of multiple growing rooms.

Portable AC (Portable AC): highly flexible and can be used on the move, but suitable for smaller spaces.

Cooling capacity:

Select the appropriate cooling capacity (in BTUs or kilowatts) for the size of the growing room. Generally, about 150-200W of cooling capacity per square metre is required.

Function:

Choose an air conditioner with a heating function to provide warmth during the cold season.

An air conditioner with a humidity control function helps to maintain the right level of humidity.

Installation Location:

Ensure that the air conditioner is installed in a location with good air circulation to avoid blowing directly on the plants.

Drainage pipes should be properly installed to avoid stagnant water affecting the growing environment.

Regular Maintenance:

Clean the filter and condenser regularly to ensure efficient operation of the air conditioning system.

Check and maintain the refrigerant level to ensure the cooling effect of the air conditioner.

Environmental Control System:

Integrating your air conditioner into an environmental control system allows you to automatically adjust air conditioning operation based on preset temperature and humidity conditions.

Such systems can often be monitored and controlled remotely from a mobile phone or computer, providing greater management efficiency.

Temperature Sensors:

Multiple temperature sensors are placed in the grow room to ensure accurate and real-time temperature data.

Sensors should be placed at different heights and locations to obtain comprehensive temperature distribution information.
