HYDROPONICS
(Macqu-H)
|
MACQU-H is a hydroponics management system. It is of simple and
compact construction, has a minimum of moving parts and all
materials used are corrosive-resistant to acid fluids. A special
multi-venturi (patented) guarantees precise dosing of stack fluids
with a total solution tolerance of 3% or better. All sensors
(low/high pressure, temperature, EC, pH) have duals for safe
operation and warning. |
 |
|
 |
All operating elements (pump,
dosing valves, irrigation valves etc) have dedicated switches on
mimic diagrams for user intervention and troubleshooting. Powerful
configurable displays on the office PC provide a user
customizable monitor. It communicates with MACQU-C, the climate
computer, to read climatic conditions and adapt irrigation and
nutrient solution programs for more efficient, weather adaptive,
management. Its versatility and Internet connectivity allows for a
remote control management. |

Irrigation
Management |
|
|
 |
The irrigation program may be scheduled
on:
-
specified time schedulers (weeklong
programming with one second resolution)
-
substrate or
soil available moisture
-
using a transpiration model
-
specified drain percentage
|
|
Macqu operates in open and closed loop
irrigation systems

Regulation
Accuracy |
|
-
The solution concentration (EC) can
be adapted to weather conditions to match water/nutrient demand.
-
Nutrients' ratio can be adapted to light intensity and
temperature.
-
Measure of EC and pH drain to compensate in solution preparation
and control flashing.
|
-
The accuracy of total solution concentration is better than 2%,
due to the multi-venturi approach.
-
EC and pH levels are kept
absolutely steady, at the start and during the whole irrigation
period, with a proprietary control program.
-
All parts in contact with the
highly corrosive stock solutions are of PVC material for long
life and precise functioning.
|
|
|
Program
Capabilities |
-
Many different hydroponic programs.
-
Each program can operate up to 10
stock solutions.
-
Unlimited daily
irrigation schedules.
-
Selectable automatic pure
water/plus acid/ line-purge at the end and the beginning of each
irrigation.
-
Weather adaptive irrigation
frequency schedules.
-
Self-Adaptive transpiration model
driven irrigation schedules for minimum consumption of water and
nutrients.
-
Accepts very narrow operation and
alarm limits (i.e. if a hose breaks or a tank is empty it holds
irrigation and sends alarm).
