Product Details
Thanks to the Ultra-Clima, you can achieve a better greenhouse climate. You have optimal control of the climate conditions. For example, the greenhouse can be ventilated with fresh air from outdoors or indoor air (or a combination of the two), more sunlight enters the greenhouse, and the CO2 level is significantly higher. In short, it offers the ideal cultivation climate for optimizing photosynthesis. This way, the Ultra-Clima guarantees a remarkably higher yield compared to other greenhouses.
The Ultra-Clima concept is based on semi-closed cultivation using overpressure and a meshed air inlet and outlet. This effectively repels insects meaning there is less risk of disease and potential for residue-free cultivation. The result? Maximum food safety.
Energy-efficient fans, dehumidifying using heated outside air, heating with low-grade heat, longer service life of energy screens – these are all features of the Ultra-Clima. Like an important fertilizer, CO2 is essential for optimal crop production. With the Ultra-Clima, CO2 is used much more efficiently than in conventional greenhouses. This results in considerably reduced energy consumption and lower CO2 emissions.
Fresh water is becoming increasingly scarce. The Ultra-Clima greenhouse maximizes the efficiency of water usage. Reusing irrigation water (including fertilizers) and collecting condensation and rainwater are essential components of the Ultra-Clima concept. This makes it a key factor for the continuity of your business.
To ensure continuity, you need to be profitable. With the Ultra-Clima you have plenty of opportunities to increase your profit margin. The concept allows you to achieve more output with less input, resulting in lower costs, better quality and higher sales prices. Investing in the Ultra-Clima is investing in a sustainable future with better returns!
Night cooling system Ultra-ClimaAverage 24-hour day temperature
In some regions in the world higher night temperatures result in problems with crop conditions. A good average 24-hour day temperature must be achieved, and if this is not balanced, the plants are also not balanced. This results in production and quality losses and a worn-out crop, with all its consequences. This makes it challenging or impossible to grow a crop year-round, which is a key condition for local-for-local production.
Challenges
In a number of regions, we detected that the average 24-hour day temperature was too high. This includes the East coast and the South of the USA; Japan; South Korea; and also the East coast of China. In these regions, daytime cultivation is no problem, but the nights fail to sufficiently cool off. Subsequently, the night temperature is too high, combined with high humidity rates, such over longer periods of time.
Night cooling system
For this purpose, KUBO developed a night cooling system that can be integrated in the existing Ultra-Clima system. This system enables us to cool down the night temperature to desirable levels, guaranteeing the optimal climate for the crop. This means the plants will be balanced in spite of the severe outdoor conditions, with optimised production and quality due to healthy crops. The additional advantage is that the cooling system may also be used in daytime.
The invention
Cooling is achieved based on cold water-air heat exchangers integrated in the Ultra-Clima concept air treatment units. During the cooling process, the Ultra-Clima greenhouse functions as a closed greenhouse. Based on recirculating greenhouse air, the air is gradually cooled down to the required end temperature upon nightfall. Adequate insulation of the Ultra-Clima roof and wall system ensures minimal energy input during the cooling process.
Project plan
For each specific project, we examine the long-term historical climate data for the construction site. This enables us to determine the right technology for each specific site. Naturally, this is followed up by a feasibility study, exploring the total cost and benefit to determine the return on investment.
Conclusion
KUBO is currently realising the first project with the Ultra-Clima night cooling system in Japan for rose crops. Calculations have demonstrated that the customer can grow significantly more roses locally with better quality and also with a better financial result. The system is created for growing a wide range of crops, including vegetables, fruit and horticultural crops. We also expect new markets where growing crops is virtually impossible today will come within range with this system, such as sub-tropical and equatorial tropical climates.
We believe that if you want to tackle the challenges facing the world in a structural way, you also need to have structural solutions. That is why KUBO Full Service Grow Concepts offers a 360º approach and vision for the development of a long-term strategy, which is entirely tailored to your situation so that you can actually achieve your ambitions.
