2. Description
2.1 General
The purpose of the Airmix ™ is to ventilate and dehumidify in an area with a closed screen cloth. The
Airmix™ sucks in air from above the screen, and blows it into the cultivation area below. The system
is actually multifunctional, as it also acts as a horizontal recirculation system. This method of
operation allows ventilation to be controlled, and the screen cloth to be kept closed for longer. The
advantage of this is that it is unnecessary to create a ‘slit’ in the screen when it is cold outside,
thereby preventing pockets of cold (unwanted air flows and temperature differences).
The Airmix™ is fitted with the same fan as the Enfan. The inlet side of this fan is attached to the
aluminium housing. Two valves are mounted in the housing, so air can be sucked in from both above
and below the screen cloth (Figure 2). When the valves are closed, the Airmix™ sucks in air from the
cultivation area, and acts as a horizontal recirculation system. If the valves are open, air is sucked in
from above the screen cloth. The Airmix™ can be used in greenhouses with either single-screen or
double-screen systems.
Since the valves are controlled by the climate computer, the correct proportion of air from above and
below the screen cloth can be obtained. This is controlled on the basis of relative humidity and
temperature.
The Airmix™ can be used where all kinds of vegetable, fruit and ornamental plants are cultivated.

2.2 Transportation and Storage
The Airmix™ is delivered in two parts. It is only necessary to attach the fan to the aluminium housing,
after which the Airmix™ can be suspended.
