Experts in botanical airCompressed air is the difference between life and death in Kew Gardens; at least for the thousands of exotic flowers in the famous Royal Botanical Gardens' greenhouses. At Kew they grow in controlled climates. Temperature is important but so too is humidity, particularly for the health of delicate vegetation. This is where compressed air comes into its own, astomising the water which is sprayed into the green houses to adjust the humitity. It cannot fail or thousands of rare and valuable plants would simply die. Motivair services all the compressers at Kew, including those used in the Princess of Wales Conservatory and the famous old Palm House. |
