The MicroVent Vision Ⅱ system allows storage managers to tailor their protocol to match the requirements of their crop in various conditions. The system can also function successfully regardless of the storage design.
• Demand ventilation, based on temperature and/or carbon dioxide, allows a storage manager to optimize ventilation time.
• Humidity control and monitoring: supply, return, and outside
• Pile sensor averaging allows users to monitor temperature throughout the system.
• MicroVent Vision Connect Service for remote monitoring and notifications
• Canadian Made

A detailed understanding of the psychrometric chart can be an excellent tool in understanding water, air and vapour relationships. In reality, a basic understanding of the pertinent values – relative humidity, dew point, absolute humidity, saturated air – can help make the right decision for air-vapour relationships. To start, let's define the values for potato storage management.
