Abstract
A vertical farm system comprises at least two modules each of which has a closed volume thereof with respect to an external environment, wherein a first module comprises a plant crop cultivation apparatus while a second module comprises a collection opening configurable between a closed position and an open position, a movement device configured to convey the plant crops from the cultivation apparatus towards the collection opening through a transfer passage, a carbon dioxide source configured to blow a predetermined amount of carbon dioxide into the first module so as to define at least one respective growth module of the plant crops, and a forced carbon dioxide recovery duct configured to aspirate the carbon dioxide contained in the second module so as to define a collection module of the plant crops.
Claims19
A vertical farm system, comprising:
- a carbon dioxide source configured to blow a predetermined amount of carbon dioxide into at least one growth module;
- a forced carbon dioxide recovery duct configured to aspirate the carbon dioxide contained in at least one collection module;
- at least two modules each of which has a closed volume thereof with respect to an external environment, wherein:
- a first module comprises a first plant crop cultivation apparatus and is arranged in fluid connection with said carbon dioxide source so as to define a growth module configured to cultivate plant crops,
- said first module comprises a first collection opening thereof configurable between an open position and a closed position and is arranged in fluid connection with said forced recovery duct so as to define a bi-functional module configured for both the cultivation and for the collection of plant crops, and
- a second module comprises a second collection opening configurable between a closed position and an open position, in which the respective internal volume is accessible from the external environment, and is arranged in fluid connection with said forced recovery duct so as to define a collection module configured to collect the plant crops;
- and
- a movement device configured to convey the plant crops from said first plant crop cultivation apparatus to any one of said first collection opening or second collection opening.
