Ambient Ventilation

In short

Our packaged ambient units (PAUs) cool and ventilate crop stores with outside air. Each is a free-standing mixer box with an axial fan, ambient intake and recirculation louvres, suited especially to box stores and potato chitting stores. Options include quieter fans, inverter speed control and a fridge unit added later.

Ambient Units

The Package Ambient Unit comprises of a free standing mixer box unit for high level ventilation crop stores, especially suited for box stores and potato chitting stores

Including axial fan, complete with ambient air intake and recirculation louvres, wall intake section and pest guard.

Package ambient units with top high-level ventilation provides a cost effective and efficient method of ventilation and temperature control in vegetable box stores.

Farm Electronics design and manufacture air handling units, specifically for use where accurate temperature control and cooling by ambient
air is necessary to maintain the crop in a good condition and at the correct temperature.

Various customisable options include:

  • Noise reduction, by means of sound deadening and fan selection

  • Customised duct length and hood sizes to fit around existing buildings

  • Inverter starters for fans to give a full range of fan speeds

  • Bespoke fan sizes to suit customer requirement (e.g. specific cfm/tonne)

  • PAU stand lengths can be increased to fit over existing solid walls. This can also be used to add on a fridge unit retrospectively.

What is a packaged ambient unit?

A free-standing mixer box for high-level ventilation, with an axial fan, ambient air intake and recirculation louvres, a wall intake section and a pest guard. The packaged ambient unit page gives fan sizes and capacities.

Yes. The PAU stand can be lengthened to fit over existing solid walls, which also lets a fridge unit be added retrospectively. See our refrigeration range.

Yes. Noise can be reduced with sound deadening and fan selection, and inverter starters give a full range of fan speeds. More on our fans.

Box stores and potato chitting stores especially. Our potato store layouts show a packaged ambient unit working with motorised louvres and crop sensors.
