The Birth of the company, Who is Chaim? 1

Agam Greenhouse Energy Systems Ltd. VLHC (Ventilated Latent Heat Converter )

The company  Agam Greenhouse Energy Systems Ltd was founded as a spin-of Agam Energy Systems in September 2009  Tene Investment fund invested in September 2009 and April 2010  Ariel Karaso invested in April 2010

Ventilate Latent Heat Converter (VLHC) THE MAIN ADVANTAGES Suitable for cold and mild climate conditions Reduce significantly humidity hazards Diseases Reduce spores population Reduce chemical use Reduce Energy Expenses

Page 5 BUTRUTIS, ERVINIA. MORE COST OF THE CHEMIALS MIGHT BE 600Euro per 1000 SQM per a year. The price is for QUALITY yield. LONG LIST OF CROP’S HEALTH PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE OVER HUMIDITY: 5

Botrytis Aspects  Increase quality and production  Less use of chemicals.  meet market need- (Seedling Nurseries In Israel)  Higher Quality.  Higher Yield.

Page 9 THE BUTRYTIS DAMAGE LOOK The Cost of Chemical- The Quality-For Organic Vegetable. 9

Energy Saving  Eliminate ventilation at low light (in the morning) conditions for humidity removal  Saving on heating costs and investment  It keep 1000m 2 greenhouse 18 C above ambient and reduces energy consumption by- up to 60%  In moderate climate the VLHC replaces the conventional heating systems

Page 16 TERMS AND NUMBERS ABOUT ENERGY INSIDE THE GREENHOUSE. THE IMPORTANCE OF THERMAL SCREEN USED. 16

Energy: K- Values  The relevant units for heat conductivity are the heat conductivity - W/ 0 c/m 2 (k values)  The most common values are:  Modern glass house (without plants) = 5 (W/ 0 c/m 2 )  Plant elevate the k value of close glass house to 11 W/ 0 c/m 2  VLHC reduces heat conductivity of close glass house to k=5.5 W/ 0 c/m 2  Thermal screen with plants reduces heat conductivity to k= 5.5 W/ 0 c/m 2  The k value for glass house + plants + thermal screen +VLHC=2 W/ 0 c/m 2

Interaction screen & VLHC (van Leer Tests)  Close screen save 56% energy (fuel consumption reduces to 44%) RH increase to 93% 1.5 cm - screen opening reduces RH to 85% and fuel consumption is elevated from 44% to 74%. Thus screen opening reduces humidity and elevate fuel consumption by 74/44=1.68 which is 68%. Application of VLHC reduces RH to 75%-85% with a close screen. Energy saving is 75% as compare with glass house with screen opening and 60% as compared with glass house with close screen and high humidity.

VLHC energy consumption 1000m 2 Greenhouse temp - (ΔT =18 ) R H = 85% Required kW (with-without the extra heating to heat (by hot water) +2.5 kW of electricity to power VLHC Total of kW. Condensation of L / hour for RH at 75%-90% Total saving effect of 70 kW...

The energy advantages by using the VLHC- Italy

Flowers pots greenhouse in north Italy April 2005 Comparison between the VLHC and hot water pipes heating in a glass greenhouse: Heat Conductivity with water pipes = 5.6 W/ m 2 * o C. Heat Conductivity with VLHC= 2 W/ m 2 * o C. * Saving of 64%!

Comparison between 2 flower greenhouses in north Italy  Both are glass greenhouse with same thermal screen.  VLHC k= 2.14 W/ m 2 * o C Hot water with screen opening for humidity control k= 9.17 W/ m 2 * o C. Saving of 75%! In a greenhouse with a good thermal screen, one VLHC system keep 2,000 m 2 greenhouse, 10 c higher than the ambient.

VLHC in Sweden

Nursery Greenhouse in the center of Israel First unit sold on winter Two other units sold for winter

Nursery greenhouse in Western Negev Israel Eight VLHC systems in 11,000 m 2 plant greenhouse- one polyethylene layer, no thermal screen. * Compare with the same greenhouse heated by hot air (sleeves.) * RH in VLHC greenhouse= 88%. * RH in hot air heated greenhouse= 98.4% (fog most of the night). * Energy saving 50% The temperature in the greenhouse is 6 o C above ambient energy consumption k=5.6 W/m 2 / 0 C.

HOUR VLHC heated at a rate of 40 kW elevate 2000 square meter glass house with screen 10C above ambient. K= 2 W/m2/ 0C Outside / Inside GH Temperature Samplings with VLHC without central heating system working 22 / 23 April 2005

Inside GH Relative Humidity Samplings 22 /23 April 2005

Experimental test made in R&D Center in winter comparing Agam’s with hot-water pipe heating  The experiment was made in two equal pepper plants greenhouses.  The two greenhouses used thermal screens.  The tested greenhouse used Agam VLHC dehumidifying system.  The reference greenhouse used hot-water pipes along the plants.  Both systems use gas heater. The Calorimeter measurements were made in the nights when both greenhouses were in the same conditions. The energy consumption results are given in W/m 2 / 0 C.

Energy consumption and saving between the two greenhouses

Compare Relative humidity between the two greenhouses

Summary The VLHC is effective new technology to reduces humidity and heating the greenhouses in cold and mild climate. It function in a sealed greenhouses and may enhance dehumidification with fresh air inflow. one system is suitable to prevent excessive humidity in 1,000 m 2 of tomatoes greenhouses, 1500 m 2 of flowers greenhouses. The heat conductivity with the VLHC in a greenhouse with a screen or with inflated PE roof 2 W/ m 2 o C and 5.5 W/ m 2 o C, with one layer roof. When operate as the only heating element in close greenhouse with thermal screen, it keep temperature 18 o C above ambient and energy saving of 60%-80%. The energy saving for simple seal greenhouse 1 layer roof is 50%. There is no need to spray against botrytis and there is a reduction of spraying against other diseases. ROI in most cold countries 2-3 years!

Page 39 BARRIERS FOR MARKETING THE TECHNOLOGY  New “old” idea- latent heat.  AGAM- the only one by the integrative system- Patent written.  The needs of additional heating.  Why only SQM-per one machine? When are we able to use less units? 39

Page 40 WHO MIGHT BE THE CANDIDATE FOR DISTRIBUTORSHIP?  Greenhouse Manufacturer.  Heating Installation Company.  Thermal Screen Installation.  Projects for Greenhouse- when the heating is part of the budget. (Needs Territory Proves)  AGAM attitude for developing distributorship. 40
