Automatic Window Openers for Greenhouses: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction
With summer approaching and rising temperatures, working in greenhouses and gardens can become a challenge. The temperature in the greenhouse can quickly rise to 30-35°C (86-95°F), negatively impacting both plant growth and working conditions. An effective solution is to install automatic window openers. This guide explains how these smart accessories can improve the greenhouse environment.
What is an Automatic Window Opener?
An automatic window opener is a device that automatically opens and closes greenhouse windows based on temperature changes. It requires no electricity, relying instead on oil that expands and contracts with temperature variations to control the ventilation opening.
Benefits of Automatic Window Openers
- Temperature Regulation: The window openers begin to open at 59-77°F and are fully open at 86-90°F, helping to maintain an optimal temperature in the greenhouse.
- Improved Plant Growth: By regulating temperature and ventilation, the window openers enhance the plant climate, leading to better vegetable yields and less damage from pests.
- Easy to Use: These openers require no power supply and can be easily installed on existing greenhouse windows. They automatically adjust without the need for manual intervention.
- Storm-Resistant: The Megavent Storm model is specifically designed to keep large windows in place even in strong winds, thanks to robust springs and shock absorbers.
How Do Automatic Window Openers Work?
The automatic window opener contains oil that reacts to temperature changes. When the temperature rises, the oil expands and opens the window, and when the temperature drops, the oil contracts and closes the window. This system ensures that the greenhouse always has an ideal temperature and ventilation, even when you are not present.
Installation and Maintenance
Installing an automatic window opener is straightforward. Each set includes a specific number of openers, depending on the size and number of windows in your greenhouse. Larger greenhouse models may include up to four openers. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation and maximum efficiency.
Conclusion
Equipping your greenhouse with automatic window openers is a smart choice to ensure an optimal plant climate and improve working conditions. These devices provide a reliable solution for temperature regulation and ventilation, benefiting both plants and people.
