Monitoring essential climate conditions

Greenhouse production is directly influenced by light, temperature and hygrometry conditions. It is essential to monitor these parameters with reliable and accurate measuring devices to ensure an optimal growing environment.

The intensity of light has a direct impact on photosynthesis, while temperature and humidity influence plant growth and development. Sauermann devices enable these key parameters to be monitored at specific times or continuously.

Parameters to be monitored

  • Light intensity

  • Temperature

  • Hygrometry

METROLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS

CONTINUOUS MONITORING
Continuous monitoring involves installing sensors at various locations in the greenhouse. The number of sensors required depends on the size and layout of the facility and the type of crop, which may require measurements at different heights.
Sauermann sensors are equipped with remote probes that can be positioned as close as possible to the critical points to be monitored and are capable of transmitting their data to any type of supervision and control system.

SPOT MEASUREMENTS
One-off measurements using a lux meter and thermo-hygrometer are essential. This enables a more detailed analysis of the conditions, identifies any imbalances and allows the lighting or shading settings to be adjusted according to the season and daily weather conditions.
Recommended light intensity values vary greatly depending on the type of crop. Kimo luxmeters accurately measure this brightness over a range of 0 to 100,000 lux. Thermo-hygrometers feature accurate sensors with fast response times that speed up measurement operations.

DATA LOGGING
Depending on the type of crop, parameters can be recorded in order to analyse and detect the slightest variation in conditions in the greenhouse. The use of autonomous recorders makes these campaigns possible.
Kimo's Kistock programmable recorders monitor light, temperature and humidity over several weeks or even throughout an entire season. The connected TrackLog range also allows remote consultation on a PC, mobile phone or tablet.

METROLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS
In greenhouses, varying light, temperature and humidity conditions require precise measurements to avoid climate management errors. Regular calibration of instruments ensures reliable data for crop protection.
Sauermann calibrates instruments according to numerous parameters in its laboratories in Montpon-Ménestérol, France.

    Using CO2 concentration to measure air change rate

    Air change rate (ACR) has always been a key concept in building ventilation system management. But now, it’s become even more important – as a vital measurement in the fight against COVID-19, and against bacteria and viruses more generally.
