Competitive Advantages
Precise Temperature and Humidity Control to Meet Stringent Cultivation Requirements
Cannabis cultivation has extremely strict requirements for temperature and humidity, and any fluctuations can affect growth rhythms or induce diseases. Altaqua's water-cooled HVAC system uses high-precision control algorithms and sensors to achieve detailed management of environmental parameters. In actual operation, temperature and humidity fluctuations are minimal, ensuring that plants are always in optimal condition.
High Cooling Efficiency to Handle High Loads
In environments with numerous lights, dense plantings, and frequent air circulation, cooling loads significantly increase. Altaqua's water-cooled system uses liquid media for heat transfer, achieving much higher heat exchange efficiency. It can rapidly lower environmental temperatures in a short time, ensuring stable and continuous operation even under high-load conditions.
Energy-Saving and Power-Saving Hot Air Reheating Technology
The system features hot air reheating functionality, which recovers heat generated during dehumidification for use in return air heating, thereby avoiding issues of excessively low temperatures after dehumidification while reducing energy consumption for additional heating. This is particularly suitable for high-humidity environments where temperature should not drop too rapidly during flowering periods.
High Stability, Adaptable to Extreme Climate Conditions
Whether in the cold winters of northern regions or the hot and humid summers of southern regions, the system operates stably and reliably. Its water-cooled core structure has excellent thermal inertia, making it less susceptible to fluctuations in outdoor climate conditions and ensuring a consistently stable growing environment throughout the year. Adaptable to Various Extreme Environments
Quiet Operation, Suitable for Noise-Sensitive Environments
The water-cooled HVAC system uses water as a heat transfer medium, eliminating the need for powerful fans and high-speed compressors for cooling, significantly reducing mechanical noise during operation. Additionally, the water-cooled condenser does not require high-power fans to forcefully exhaust hot air during operation, resulting in extremely low noise levels throughout the cooling and dehumidification process.
Multi-System Redundancy Design Ensures Continuous Cultivation
In commercial cultivation facilities, HVAC system failures can cause significant losses. Therefore, multi-system redundancy design is a critical feature of commercial cultivation room HVAC systems. Redundancy design ensures that the backup system immediately takes over in the event of a main system failure, preventing environmental fluctuations caused by equipment downtime. This design significantly reduces potential losses from failures and ensures the continuous healthy growth of crops. Additionally, modular redundancy design simplifies system maintenance and upgrades, allowing for flexible adjustments during expansion or optimization without interrupting normal operations.
