This is part 5 of a 5-part podcast series. Here we discuss why knowing the difference between Relative Humidity and Dew Point is extremely important.

Relative Humidity: Not a good measure of water in the air (absolute humidity). RH is the percentage of moisture in the air vs. how much it can hold. It answers the question, “how full is the container”?

Dew Point: The atmospheric temperature below which water droplets begin to condense, and dew can form. This is an accurate measurement of water in the air (humidity).

This is part 4 of a 5-part podcast series. Using the psych chart, you only need two properties of air to determine the rest. This is an excellent tutorial to understand how the properties are related to each other on the chart.

This episode is for you if you work on indoor agriculture projects and are asked to specify RO systems to purify the incoming water. 

Insight Partners has been a proud representative of Miller Leaman and has had great success in selling and applying Reverse Osmosis water filtration systems in cannabis grow applications throughout the USA.

In this short podcast, we interview our vendor partners David Romeo with Miller Leaman and discuss Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration systems for grow room applications.  Whether you're using tap water for cannabis production or well water, you may want to consider using reverse osmosis for cannabis production.   

Why you should use RO water in your Grow Room?

Water quality is essential to proper plant growth. When water quality is off, and there are unnecessary particles or minerals in the water, this interferes with the intake of proper nutrients and water absorption by the plant. Water quality should always be one of the first factors to consider when evaluating plans for a new or existing grow room. Along with helping to keep plants healthy, good water quality will also help to ensure that equipment life is extended, which will cut costs in the long run. No matter what type of water source you’re pulling from, a reverse osmosis (RO) system is essential to properly filter your grow room irrigation water.

Is Using Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Useful In Growing?

Growers opt for purified water, especially if utilizing hydroponic techniques. You will see a difference in water purification techniques, but reverse osmosis (RO) is one of the most effective and reliable methods on the market. RO uses a semipermeable membrane, where even dissolved solids can be removed from a water source. This theoretically makes the water perfectly pure, eliminating bacteria, viruses, and dissolved solids from water. RO is not just used in horticulture. In fact, it’s mainly used to purify drinking water, so why not give your cannabis plants the very best?

We sell and support commercial indoor agriculture HVAC equipment and controls in grow rooms across the country. In this podcast, I share three prevalent mistakes regarding equipment sizing and grow room HVAC equipment selection. 

The most common mistakes are missing the required dehumidification load, not understanding the room sensible heat ratio, and selecting off-the-shelf air conditioning equipment vs. commercial grow room air conditions, aka grow room dehumidifiers. 

Plants are not people; load calculations for Cannabis grow rooms are different than typical commercial applications. Mistakes are common and costly; hopefully, this video will offer some insight into some issues to be aware of. 

Grow room HVAC calculations require specific attention to the plant quantity, water rates, lighting schedule, lighting types, and many other factors unique to indoor grow factifies.

If you're building a new grow facility or have an existing facility that is having trouble maintaining temperature and humidity, please feel free to reach out. My name is Tony Mormino, and my email is [email protected].

On this audio version of a recent Livestream event, I am joined by three Fanwall experts from Nortek Air Solutions, LLC, the world's most extensive custom air handling unit manufacturer and creator of the popular Fanwall Technology. This back-and-forth interview-style presentation will uncover five common myths associated with fan arrays.

HVAC mechanical engineers face quite a challenge today. Systems must be designed with high reliability, small footprints, low power consumption, low acoustics and vibration, efficient heat transfer, and high filtration. And do all this within the end users' budget. That's not easy.

So, we hope this presentation will give you a few more tools in your engineering toolbelt that may assist in meeting these objectives.  

What you will learn: Uncover common fan array myths, The principles of fan arrays, How to apply fan array technology, When fan arrays don't make sense, and Real-life installed fan arrays. 

Today, more and more building owners are choosing Fanwall technology. You can find fan arrays applied in almost any commercial or industrial applications - hospitals, data centers, laboratories, schools and universities, and office buildings. The Fanwall array of fans allows designers to optimize more closely the fan wheel geometry and motor horsepower for a specific application. The result is smaller fans and motors, running closer to peak efficiencies, thus reducing energy costs.

This podcast reveals several examples of fan wall retrofits or fan array retrofits showing the knockdown capacities of the individual fan cubes also known as fan modules.

At Insight Partners, we continue to appreciate the opportunity to give back to the HVAC community, and thank you for supporting our online events.
