Description
The purpose of the Verti-Fan® installation is to create a vertical air movement without causing too much air movement, thereby providing an even distribution of heat.
Advantages of the system:
- better temperature distribution
- limited variations in vertical temperatures
- better distribution en absorption of CO2
- better distribution of humidity
- savings on gas because the minimum pipes need to be used less frequently

Specifications
The Verti-Fan® is built up out of three main components, namely: a fan, a plastic hose, and a mounting ring. The three components are connected to each other by means of fixtures. This makes it possible to create a vertical air movement, without damaging the crop because of too much air movement. The air leaving the hose under the crop will spread out over the ground and slowly stream upwards through the crop.
Fan
There are two different Verti-Fan® models:
○ The old model, equipped with the FN035 fan. For specifications see: Leaflet / Manual Verti-Fan®
○ The new model, equipped with the FG035 EC fan. Specifications:
- Phase: 1~
- Voltage: 200 - 240 V
- Frequency: 50/60 Hz
- Power: 0,160 W
- Current: 1,35 - 1,65 A
- Rotational speed: 1710 rpm
- Capacity: 3600 m3 /h
For further information see: Leaflet Verti-Fan® EC
The Verti-Fan® EC model is an updated version of the previous Verti-fan® model equipped with a FN035 fan. The new model has a bigger voltage range and is able to displace the same amount of air at lower power consumption rate. The fan is equipped with a DC motor, whose rotational velocity can easily be set using a 0 - 10 V control signal. Aside from electrical improvements, the new fan is significantly lighter than before. This fan replacement makes the new Verti-Fan® model more efficient and sustainable.
The new Verti-Fan® model with EC fan is cURus-certified and is therefore compatible with standard North American market requirements by default.
Plastic hose
- CO2 hose
- Easily connected to the mounting ring using the stainless steel hose clamp
- Easily adjusted in order to be compatible with all truss heights
Mounting ring
- The previous Verti-Fan® model connected the FN035 fan to the plastic hose using a steel mounting ring. This ring has been replaced in the new Verti-Fan® EC model by a plastic mounting ring. This ring requires less maintenance and is significantly lighter, which makes the model more sustainable.
- The mounting ring design enables it to be mounted to the fan fast and easy.
The Verti-Fan® can either be suspended using the steel cable mounting kit or by means of a lowered suspended brackets. Depending on the chosen installation method, all the necessary accessories are included.
