Description
Summary:At present time, the significant deficiency of СО2 for plants cultivated in greenhouses is one of the factors limiting the photosynthesis and carbonate accumulation leading to decrement of vegetable plant productivity. The development of necessary gas atmosphere inside greenhouses is the same as important as maintaining temperature regimes. In the world, there are different solutions for greenhouse feeding with СО2. Nowadays, the most effective and ecologically safe equipment for greenhouse feeding with СО2 is that provide, not only a smoke-like gas, but also a purified food quality carbon dioxide. This technology required system of gas pipe lines for greenhouses and system of automated control for gas feeding. Moreover it is necessary to install the storage facilities for liquid carbonic acid, gas generator, heating system and other equipment. Such a complex for automatic greenhouse feeding with СО2 ‘Kaskad’ has been worked out by OOO ‘Kaskad’ that has successfully developed the systems for carbon-dioxide feeding for 10 years. The system that combined automatic supplying outcoming gas from boiler station, and liquid СО2 injecting into greenhouse room was developed in 2015. The system enables to be integrated into the feeding liquid СО2 and existing system of supplying the outcoming gas from boiling station.
