Optimised climate control

Turf Fan & Cooling

  • Increase air circulation
  • Prevent heat stress
  • Decrease risk of turfgrass diseases

Improve micro climate

Often in sport venues, there is a lack of air circulation. This results in unfavourable conditions for growing turfgrass, amongst which a higher disease pressure and risk of diseases. This turf fan can be extended with a cooling option, to lower temperatures during the high temperatures in order to prevent plant stress and grass diseases. With the turf fan you control the air circulation and cooling seperately or combined to create perfect pitch circumstances.

Adiabatic cooling

When using the cooling on the turf fan, it cools the surface through the principle of adiabatic cooling, also known as evaporative cooling. It is a method of cooling air through the evaporation of water. The Turf Cooling system sprays a consistent stream of mist which is being carried 50 meters across the surface by the fan. The mist abstract the heat energy from the air above the surface, making the mist evaporate before it touches the grass. This results in a cool and dry playing surface. This cooling process can lower the temperatures with an average of 7-8 degrees Celsius, depending on the outside temperatures and natural wind.

Data driven technology

SGL TurfBase is the user-friendly tool for grounds managers to log, monitor and analyse data, to make and justify decisions regarding pitch quality and efficient use of resources. In addition, TurfBase optimises operation and efficiency of all SGL products, adding value to the hardware.

Data fromTurfBase will help you use your TC50 to its full capacity. The most important module to support the TC50 is the Airflow Advice, which offers a 7-day forecast to guide the optimal use of turf fans and cooling systems.

Airflow Advice is only included in the Expert Plan, but you can also add this module to other plans via our Flex option. Let the data help you take your pitch management to the next level!
