Fan & Pad Polyhouse
Fan & Pad Polyhouse is a fully climate control greenhouse system that uses forced-air evaporative cooling — exhaust fans on one wall and wet cellulose cooling pads on the opposite wall — to hold temperature and humidity inside a tight, crop-favourable range regardless of the outside weather. It is one of the most effective fan pad polyhouse designs for high-value crops that cannot tolerate the temperature swings of a naturally ventilated structure.
Key Features
Wet-wall cooling pad system with continuous water circulation for evaporative cooling
Wall-mounted exhaust fan bank that draws air across the pads for controlled airflow
Precise temperature and humidity control, independent of outside weather
GI pipe/truss framework with UV-stabilized film or polycarbonate covering
Thermal/shade screens for additional heat and light management
Fogging and misting compatibility for extra humidity control
Automated control panel for fan cycling and pad wetting
Insect-proof netting and drip irrigation/fertigation compatible
Benefits of Fan & Pad Polyhouse
Maintains a stable internal microclimate even in peak summer heat
Enables cultivation of high-value, climate-sensitive crops round the year
Higher yield and quality compared to naturally ventilated structures
Reduces crop stress and disease pressure from temperature and humidity swings
Supports precision fertigation for consistent nutrition
Extends the growing season beyond what open-field or natural ventilation allow
Well suited for export-quality produce and protected nurseries
Suitable Crops
Fan & Pad Polyhouse is commonly suitable for:
Capsicum
Cherry Tomato
Cucumber
Exotic Vegetables
Cut Flowers (Rose, Gerbera, Carnation)
Tissue Culture Hardening and nursery plants
Crop suitability depends on the local climate, cultivation method and market requirements.
Fan & Pad Polyhouse Structure
A typical Fan & Pad Polyhouse consists of:
Sr. No. | Component |
|---|---|
1 | GI tubular/truss structure |
2 | Exhaust fan bank |
3 | Cooling pad wall with sump tank and water circulation pump |
4 | UV-stabilized poly film or polycarbonate covering |
5 | Thermal/shade screen |
6 | Insect-proof netting |
7 | Fogging/misting system |
8 | Automated control panel |
9 | Drip irrigation and fertigation system |
10 | Required greenhouse accessories and fixtures |
Fan & Pad Polyhouse Design
The design and dimensions of a Fan & Pad Polyhouse should be selected according to:
Available land area and orientation for correct airflow direction
Crop type, height and canopy density
Peak outside temperature and humidity in the region
Required fan capacity and pad area
Power supply and backup availability
Irrigation and fertigation requirements
Farming budget
A properly engineered, site-specific design helps ensure correct fan-pad sizing, structural strength and long-term performance.
Fan & Pad Polyhouse Cost
The cost of a Fan & Pad Polyhouse depends on its span and gutter height, number and capacity of fans, pad area and material, covering (film or polycarbonate), automation level, irrigation, fertigation, and site conditions.
For an accurate price, the project should be evaluated according to the required area, crop and level of automation.
