  • Publication number: 20240008422
    Abstract: In order to create a closed climate cell 100 for raising plants in several layers 12 arranged one above the other, wherein the climate cell 100 comprises at least one chamber 10, in which the layers 12 are arranged one above the other, and extend from a first side 11a of the chamber 10 to a second side 11b of the chamber 10, wherein each layer 12 has at least one plant-raising container and at least one lighting platform arranged thereover, wherein a climate is set in at least one chamber 10 by means of a climate system 20 of the climate cell 100, which has both a space-saving and an energy-saving system for adjusting the climate, it is proposed that a respective heat-storing element 13 be arranged on the first 11a and second 11b side of the at least one chamber 10, wherein an air flow 25 generated by a ventilation system 21 of the climate system 20 flows through both heat-storing elements 13, wherein one of the two sides 11a, 11b at least at one point in time forms an air inlet side 23, and the remaining sid

  • Publication number: 20090250673
    Abstract: Disclosed is a barrier and securing post as is used either in fixed or movable form to fence in and/or block off or secure areas and for guiding human, animal and/or traffic movements. It consists of a basic body which comprises at least one storage compartment for accommodating at least one flexible barrier arrangement. The one or more flexible barrier arrangement can be automatically retracted into the storage compartment using a band retractor. One or more storage compartments for the one or more flexible barrier arrangements are arranged inside the lower end and/or outside the lower end of the basic body of the barrier and securing post. The basic body comprises a guide for guiding the one or more flexible barrier arrangements from its lower end to its free end. This makes it possible to lower the center of gravity of the barrier and securing post, thus providing it with additional stability. Elevated wind engagement surfaces are avoided.
