Pulsator For Cooling

In preliminary tests at the Department of Viticulture and Enology, University of California at Fresno, the Pulsator cooled the vine canopy dramatically reducing the temperature about 20 degrees and held it during the hottest time of the day. You can improve your grape quality and yield by using the Pulsator for cooling

  • Eliminates Grape Drop due to very high temperature
     
  • Does not let photosynthesis stop. Photosynthesis stops at 95 degrees so in effect the grape stops developing.
     
  • Grape quality can be greatly improved by using the cooling effect of the Pulsator
     
  • The low application rate of only .12" per hour in row eliminates over watering and watering between the vines as occurs with sprinklers.
     
  • Adapts to drip system hydraulics and with small lateral line modification the drip system can be turned off and the cooling system turned on.
     
  • Also system can be used for cooling at night to simulate cooler, coast like nighttime temperatures.
     
  • System can be used for frost protection and artificial creation of early dormancy .Ideal for distribution of fertilizer and other chemicals.
     
  • Not recommended for use with water with a saline content greater than 700ppm
