Autovent

An autovent is a special little tool that helps to control the temperature and humidity inside a greenhouse by automatically opening and closing a window or vent.

Basically, when the sun shines on the greenhouse, it can get very hot and stuffy inside. And when it's too hot and stuffy, the plants inside the greenhouse can get sick and die.

But if the autovent is working, it can help keep the greenhouse at the perfect temperature and humidity for the plants to grow healthy and strong.

The autovent has a special metal cylinder filled with a wax-like substance that melts when it gets too hot. When the wax melts, it expands and pushes a little rod, which opens the window or vent.

On the other hand, when it gets colder, the wax inside the cylinder solidifies, and the little rod is released, closing the window or vent.

So, the autovent helps to regulate the temperature inside the greenhouse, preventing it from getting too hot or too cold for the plants. That way, they can grow big and strong and make us very happy!
