Wireless Value has introduced a solar-powered ventilation unit as an add-on to their existing wireless climate sensor. The solar panel directly powers the ventilator avoiding the temperature bias of the wireless climate sensor due to solar radiation. This improves the accuracy of temperature measurements in locations where sunshine can impair the temperature of the sensor housing.
The DLTc-vent is a product to help growers understand their climate. Years ago, Wireless Value had a powered ventilated unit, but it was impossible for proper use in greenhouses. Those units were mainly used by WUR and tested against the normal climate boxes. "In our new development, we used these powered units to test our new solar operated box and finetuned the use of the solar panel in combination with the ventilator and the design of the housing," the Wireless Value team explains.
They also pointed out that they wanted to create a housing family where the ventilated unit could be used as an add-on for the housings which the company introduced in 2022.
"With this philosophy, we created a flexible system where the grower can decide how many units he wants to have in a ventilated configuration and is even able to add more ventilated units towards his climate sensors in the future."
Wireless Value celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. "With 20 years of in-house development, we thrive for the best and most reliable products in the market."
