A Heated Water Circulation System serves as the central technology behind precise temperature regulation in modern horticultural greenhouses. Its main goal is to provide a stable, evenly distributed environment that supports healthy and consistent plant growth by circulating warm water through an interconnected piping system.
Typically, this system is powered by a central boiler or a buffer tank that stores heated water. The heat is efficiently transferred across all greenhouse zones through a carefully designed network controlled by circulation pumps and an automated control unit. This advanced setup allows growers to achieve highly efficient, energy-saving climate control essential for modern greenhouse production.
The Heated Water Circulation System functions on a closed-loop mechanism, ensuring consistent and efficient heat transfer throughout the greenhouse. Its process can be divided into three main stages:
The system primarily relies on a boiler fueled by natural gas to produce heat.
During combustion, the boiler also generates CO₂, which can be redirected into the greenhouse to promote photosynthesis.
In some setups, heat may also come from external energy sources such as a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant or a district heating network.
The generated heat can be stored temporarily in a large buffer tank, ready for use when needed.
When using an external heating source, or when separating the boiler circuit from the greenhouse circuit, the heat is transferred through a dedicated heat exchanger for optimal safety and efficiency.
Circulation Pumps function as the heart of the system, pushing hot water through the extensive pipe network.
A manifold system divides and directs the heated water into different zones of the greenhouse.
A smart control system continuously monitors temperature and adjusts the flow rate and water temperature according to real-time climate data and crop requirements, ensuring every growing area maintains its ideal heat level.
SPX Johnson Pump's Horticulture range is designed around a strong modular concept, offering high component interchangeability. The series consists of two main structural types, comprising four primary product families.
