1/2
Agam's Ventilated Latent Heat Converter (VLHC) is a
revolutionary
patented, field-tested dehumidification system for cold-climate
greenhouses.
It solves humidity-related problems, including yield-damaging
botrytis, while
actually reducing energy and fungicide expenses.
The VLHC takes in humid air from inside the greenhouse,
optionally alongwith fresh air. It converts water vapor into water
and heat by blowing the
air through a matrix of desiccant-filled elements in a compact
cooling
tower. In this process, vapor condensation naturally warms up
the desiccant,
and this heat is released by the unit into the greenhouse as
warm, dry air.
The VLHC thus efficiently converts the latent heat stored in the
water
vapor to usable heat, a welcome by-product in cold-climate
greenhouses
dramatically reducing energy consumption.
In addition to helping maintain healthy and high-volume yields,
the Agam
VLHC dehumidifier also reduces the need for intensive fungicide
use -saving money and helping conventional and organic growers
conform to
local and international regulations.
Furthermore, the VLHC cost-effectively cleans and filters
greenhouse air,
without expelling costly CO2-enriched air reducing the need for
external
cold air input further lowering heating expenses.
Patented, Field-Tested Technology
Agam's patented VLHC technology has been successfully used in
greenhouses
and spas for over four years.

Test Conducted in Winter 2009
The Israeli Ministry of Agriculture R&D center in the Arava
valley examined the VLHC, comparing it withthe common way of
heating (hot water pipes) and confirmed that the VLHC saves more
than 60 percentof the energy costs, in addition to reducing
humidity!
