As greenhouses naturally keep the temperature optimal by keeping heat in, temperatures
can easily exceed above the optimal range from the middle of spring to the middle of
autumn. Vents aid in preventing temperatures from exceeding 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35
degrees Celsius) at daytime. Once the temperature passes 95 degrees Fahrenheit, a tomato is at risk of temporarily – or even permanently - losing its ability to photosynthesize. The longer the plant is exposed to temperatures above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, the higher the likelihood it has of being permanently damaged. High temperatures cause the enzymes in the plant, which essentially carry out photosynthesis, to denature; the enzymes change shape in order to adapt to its new environment and lose the ability to photosynthesize.Thermostatically Controlled Vents stops the temperature in the greenhouse from the optimal range, let alone the ‘deadly’ 95 degree Fahrenheit limit. In addition, long exposure to the sun can actually burn the plant, especially in small seedlings. A lengthy exposure has a similar effect as using a magnifying glass, especially at noon. Thermostatically Controlled Vents keep the temperature low and prevent the build-
up of heat in concentrated areas by allowing the energy to dissipate or transfer elsewhere. Moreover, since Thermostatically Controlled Vents are controlled by thermostats - they are
not required to be manually turned on. This prevents constant worry of the temperature. Once
they are installed they only require maintenance.
