Agriculture and Livestock Climate Control Products
Growing indoor crops and caring for animals requires solutions designed for the industry

Climate control for any grow situation is important. From marijuana crops to livestock barns, each application has its own set of special IAQ needs. When contractors start to work with these types of facilities, there are multiple considerations for successful product installs. One of those is facility location. Regional temperatures and humidity, for example, will dictate if evaporative cooling is acceptable or if another source of heating and cooling must be applied.

Other considerations for indoor agriculture and livestock are the type of building being used and its construction materials. These environmental factors will impact how the air reacts to different stimuli, including plants, soil, animals, water, and feed. Internal sources of heat gain must also be calculated, accounting for lights, people, and equipment; sources of moisture must also be considered. In essence, the contractor has a new set of building occupants to make comfortable, and it is no longer humans in an agricultural or livestock facility.

The following products are some examples of items that can be used in diverse applications for the environmental controlling of these facilities.

Surna®

The Surna ductless fan coil is a dual-chilled water fan coil, low-profile ceiling-hung unit that provides multidirectional airflow in the canopy. The unit is designed to treat the air in the space where it is installed, eliminating the need for ductwork. With minimal installation requirements, the product allows for a solution that can be deployed relatively quickly. Additionally, multiple fan coils are typically installed in a single grow room, providing inherent redundancy for the facility. Maintenance requirements are minimal, and there are very few components that can fail, which translates to more reliability for the grow.

When used as part of a chilled water heating and cooling system in a grow room, Surna’s ductless fan coil provides efficient cooling and dehumidification due to enhanced sensible heat ratios to a facility of any size. These units are small, versatile, and easy to install, requiring only a connection to chilled water and power to begin cooling. This ductless fan coil is designed specifically for open floor plans and cannabis cultivation environments. An easily replaceable Can-Fan component allows for easy maintenance and cleaning. The bi-directional discharge airflow eliminates the need for ducting to get optimal air movement when incorporated into a proper design.
