2. Example Dehumidifying heating ci 9mi y po In a growing environment the relative humidity level is too high and the temperature is too low the iGS 221 is in a situation where it needs to dehumidify and heat First the controller will activate the heating equipment C1 If the desired temperature is not reached after 5 minutes and the heat has not allowed to dehumidify enough the dehumidifying equipment B2 will be activated working at the same time as the heating equipment until the desired humidity level is reached Oppositely if the desired temperature is reached after 3 minutes only and the humidity level is still too high the heating equipment C1 will shut off and the dehumidifying equipment B2 will immediately be activated QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ACTION PRIORITIES MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Why activating the CO enrichment first when CO enrichment and humidifying is necessary Itis common to use a propane or natural gas combustion CO generator to produce CO The combustion produces CO and water vapour augmenting the humidity level in the atmosphere When enriching the atmosphere with CO first the humidity level could be corrected at the same time Why activating the ventilation first for cooling Venting a garden with fresh air from time to time provides the necessary oxygen needed by plants as well as the CO generator It allows complete combustion in the generator which produces water and of course
