A specialized ventilation device, typically cylindrical, designed to maximize airflow within enclosed growing environments. It is commonly used in horticultural applications where precise control over climate conditions is necessary. For example, it can be used to maintain proper temperature and humidity levels in a greenhouse.
This type of equipment offers several advantages, including efficient air circulation, odor control, and the ability to create optimal conditions for plant growth. Its development arose from the need for robust and adaptable ventilation solutions in controlled environment agriculture and related fields. Over time, improvements in motor technology and design have led to enhanced performance and energy efficiency.
