Our Technology
(To read information on our machines in Chinese, click here.)
Agam’s dehumidification systems are built sturdily with growers and users in mind: powerful yet simple to operate and maintain. Our systems have been field-tested globally, and their efficiency has been proven time after time (see the research section).
Our technology enables air circulation with closed thermal screens or without window ventilation, providing optimal and uniform humidity and temperature conditions, whilst dramatically reducing energy consumption and COշ emission, through the employment of special hygroscopic brine that enables the conversion of humid air into dry air, reducing humidity-related diseases while also exterminating airborne spores. This way, our systems thoroughly prevent the propagation of disease, improve yield quality, significantly reduce crop loss, and save money on fungicides and agrochemicals.
Furthermore, Agam dehumidifiers cost-effectively clean and filter greenhouse air, without expelling costly COշ -enriched air, thus eliminating the need for ventilation and further reducing expenses. Agam’s patented technology has been successfully used in greenhouses, warehouses and spas since 2005.
OUR SYSTEMS:
All systems take humid air from inside the greenhouse, optionally along with fresh air. They convert water vapor into water and heat, by blowing the air through a matrix of desiccant-filled elements back to the greenhouse.
Agam VLHC (Ventilated Latent Heat Converter)
In this system, water vapors enter wet pads saturated with brine, converting latent heat into sensible heat which is then released by the unit into the greenhouse in the form of warm, dry air.
The VLHC efficiently uses energy stored in the water vapor, a welcome process in cold-climate greenhouses, thus dramatically reducing energy consumption.
Specifications VLHC 1020S:
Electric consumption: 2.7 KWH. One phase (220 V or 110 V)
40 – 70 KWH hot water boiler at 72-82ºC (161-180Fº)
Air circulation: 11,000 CMH (388,450 CFH)
Coverage area:
For vegetables: 1,000 M² (10,764 Ft²)
For flowers: 1,500 M² (16,146 Ft²)
For cannabis: 850 M² (9,150 Ft²)
Agam HAC (Hybrid Air Conditioner)
Based on the same technology as the VLHC, the HAC is designed for warmer climate conditions and provides dehumidification, cooling and air filtration, with up to 40% reduced energy consumption compared to other standard AC technology.
Recommended coverage area 350 M² (3,770 Ft²)
Electric power: 9 KW (3 phase)
Air circulation: 5,500 CMH (194,230 CFH)
VLHC advantages:
Greater control over greenhouse conditions
Purification and air filtration – removal of airborne spores
Significantly less agrochemicals used
Reduction of crop loss
Reduction of CO2 emissions and CO2 enrichment – avoid emissions penalties
Large amounts of energy (and money) saved
COME AND FIND OUT ABOUT HAC
In addition to helping maintain healthy and high-volume yields, the Agam Dehumidifiers also reduce the need for intensive fungicide use – saving money and helping conventional and organic growers conform to local and international regulations. Furthermore, Agam’s Dehumidifiers cost-effectively clean and filter greenhouse air, without expelling costly CO2 -enriched air, thus eliminating the need for ventilation and further reducing expenses. Agam’s patented technology has been successfully used in greenhouses, warehouses and spas for over eight years.
Agam’s dehumidifiers are divided into two types:
All the systems take in humid air from inside the greenhouse/warehouse, optionally along with fresh air. They convert water vapor into water and heat, by blowing the air through a matrix of desiccant-filled elements in a compact cooling tower.
Agam’s VLHC (Ventilated Latent Heat Converter) – In this system, vapor condensation naturally warms up the desiccant; the heat is released by the unit into the greenhouse/warehouse as warm, dry air. The VLHC efficiently converts the latent heat, stored in the water vapor, to usable heat, a welcome by-product in cold-climate greenhouses, thus dramatically reducing energy consumption.
Optionally, when heating is un-necessary, the VLHC can provide only little heat, or no heat and little night cooling.
- Recommended coverage area for vegetables 1000 M²
- Recommended coverage area for flowers 1500 M²
- Average Energy saving 70 kW
Agam’s HAC – based on the same technology, the HAC is designed for warmer climate conditions and provides dehumidification, limited night cooling and air filtration
- Recommended coverage area 150-300 M²
- Electricity saving up to 50%
