Bosman van Zaal Revolutionizes Horticulture with OptiDry Dehumidification Units

Aalsmeer, Netherlands – 23. January 2025 Bosman van Zaal, a trailblazer in horticultural technology, is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking OptiDry dehumidification units. Designed with sustainability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in mind, the OptiDry series is set to redefine dehumidification in vertical farming and horticulture.

Innovation Tailored for the Future of Horticulture

With over a decade of expertise in creating custom dehumidification solutions for industry leaders like WUR Wageningen, Bayer Crop Science, B-Four Agro, and Grow-up Farms, Bosman van Zaal has leveraged its extensive research and development to introduce a plug-and-play series. The OptiDry dehumidifiers seamlessly integrate into diverse cultivation systems, from climate chambers to potted plants and fruiting vegetable crops.

The series addresses critical challenges in horticulture, particularly those arising from the EU's F-gases regulation (EU 2024/573). Traditional refrigerants, with their high Global Warming Potential (GWP), are being phased out. Bosman van Zaal has taken a proactive approach by adopting R-290 (propane), a natural refrigerant with a GWP of just 3, ensuring compliance with future regulations while enhancing energy efficiency and reducing costs.

Key Benefits of the OptiDry Series

1. Energy Efficiency:
   With dehumidification efficiency reaching up to 4 l/h*KWh, growers can significantly lower energy consumption without compromising on crop quality.

2. Compact and Lightweight Design:
   The units, standing just 60 to 80 cm tall and weighing as little as 105 kg, are easy to install and adapt to existing systems.

3. Sustainability:
   By utilizing R-290 (propane), the OptiDry series supports environmentally friendly practices and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

4. Customizable Options:
   The OptiDry Compact X connects seamlessly to chilled water systems, while the Advanced DX offers integrated drying, cooling, and heating capabilities in a standalone format.

Meeting Industry Challenges with Technical Excellence

The OptiDry series is a timely response to the rising demand for energy-efficient and regulatory-compliant solutions in horticulture. With natural refrigerants like propane outperforming synthetic alternatives in reliability and energy use, Bosman van Zaal has ensured that growers remain at the forefront of innovation.

“With the OptiDry series, growers can achieve substantial energy savings while maintaining cultivation security and quality across various crops. These dehumidifiers exemplify our commitment to future-proof, top-tier technology for the horticultural sector,” said Edwin Snabel, a representative from Bosman van Zaal.
