Greenhouse Humidity Sensor

Aspirated Greenhouse Humidity Sensor – Enables relative humidity control by implementing the ventilation, heating and cooling assets within the greenhouse.  This sensor is for use with our environmental controllers.

About Humidity in Greenhouses:

Managing humidity levels in a greenhouse is essential for maintaining optimal growing conditions and promoting healthy plant development. While lower temperatures may be preferable to high humidity in some cases, finding the right balance is crucial for the specific needs of your location, greenhouse, and crop.

Using a dew point calculator, such as the one available at https://www.calculator.net/dew-point-calculator.html, can help you understand the relationship between relative humidity and air temperature. Lowering the relative humidity puts the dew point temperature further away from the air temperature, reducing the likelihood of water vapor condensing on surfaces like the plant’s canopy.

To effectively manage humidity levels, consider the following factors:

1. Air circulation: The capacity of your fans to move air and exhaust moist air plays a significant role in controlling humidity levels.
2. External conditions: The moisture content of the air entering the greenhouse can impact humidity levels. For example, a rainy day may introduce more moisture into the greenhouse environment.
3. Energy consumption: Raising the humidity low-temperature override from the default settings can help optimize energy consumption while maintaining suitable growing conditions.

Ultimately, determining the ideal parameters for your greenhouse will require experimentation and adjustment based on your unique circumstances. By carefully monitoring and managing humidity levels, you can create an environment that promotes healthy plant growth and minimizes the risk of water-borne pathogens.
