Correct storage of fertilizer is important to ensure safety and security. Where possible, fertilizers should be stored in a closed, secure storage place to protect the product from the weather and reduce the risk of theft. At this time, environmental temperature and humidity monitoring are critical to fertilizer storage.
High temperature and moisture are major menaces for the fertilizer industry. High temperatures will alter the physical and chemical properties of fertilizers. When nitrogen fertilizers are exposed to high temperatures, the volatilization loss of nitrogen will be accelerated; when ammonium nitrate is exposed to high temperatures, it will decompose oxygen, which will cause the fertilizer to fail. Most commercial fertilizers, especially those that have a high concentration of nutrients, are hygroscopic and thus have a high solubility in water. So they readily absorb water vapor or moisture during production, storage, and bagging and form a saturated solution leading to caking, oozing, and lumping. The end result is often qualitative and quantitative loss.
The ideal fertilizer storage place should include the following conditions:
(1)Dry and cool enclosed warehouse, avoid direct sunlight, and have good ventilation.
(2)Temperature should be maintained at 5 to 30℃.
(3)The relative humidity should be maintained at 35± 5% at about 27°C (81°F).
Our COEUS-WIFI Wireless Temperature and Humidity Data Logger is the perfect solution to the fertilizer storage.
COEUS-WIFI is a multi-use, user programmable, battery rechargeable, laboratory grade, high-accuracy WIFI temperature and humidity data logger. Its built-in sensor can measure the temperature of -20℃~50℃ with high accuracy. It is mainly used for indoor temperature monitoring, including the storage of fertilizer. You can attach it to the wall or shelves in the fertilizer storage warehouse.
This logger features large LCD screen for viewing warehouse current temperature and humidity, Max/Min temperature and humidity, date and time, and battery level intuitively at any time. COEUS-WIFI wireless temperature and humidity data logger is durable and last long. It comes with built-in rechargeable lithium battery, and support the direct power supply function. It can work up to 360 days. You don’t have to be bothered by frequent charge.
Parameters can be preset through configuration software provided by our company. You can preset 1 groups of high and low alarms. Should the temperature reach levels outside these limits, the beep alarm will be active with red light flash to alert. This will notify you to find the temperature and humidity abnormal situation and adjust it in time in case a further more loss.
