Lumina 750 Basic working principles
2.3 Phase settings
Fancom divides the settings into four groups:
1. Current phase settings
2. Phase pre-settings
3. Extra phase settings
4. Sub-phase settings
The Current phase settings are the settings used by the Lumina 750 to control at this moment in the process.
A number of pre-settings have been entered for each growing phase, the Phase pre-settings. These phase pre-
settings have their own address in the computer memory. As soon as a certain growing phase activates, the
computer starts copying the phase settings concerned to the current phase settings. While a certain phase is
active, the current settings can be changed. The phase pre-settings will remain unchanged in the computer
memory.
A number of additional settings can be entered for some phases, the Extra phase settings. These settings are
only relevant for a particular tunnel phase.
A number of settings can also be entered for the sub-phases; the Sub-phase settings such as cleaning,
disinfection and filling.
2.4 Controls
The Lumina 750 has the following climate controls:
●Air inlet temperature control
●Relative humidity control
●Circulation control
●Compost temperature control
●.O2-control
●Fresh air control
●Thermal control
●Pressure control
2.4.1 Air temperature control
The Lumina 750 controls the air temperature by measuring the following:
●Inlet air temperature
A sensor measures the dry and wet inlet temperature into the the tunnel. The sensors are located behind the
fan.
The desired air temperature is achieved by:
●Fresh air for cooling
Cooler air from outside is mixed with the recirculated air in the tunnel until the air temperature reaches the
required value.
●Heating
●Cooling
●Steam
2.4.2 Humidity control
Relative humidity control (RH control)
This control ensures that the relative humidity in the tunnel is constantly at the correct level.
A too low relative humidity can be increased by:
●humidifying the supply air using steam or cold water.

Lumina 750 Basic working principles
2.4.3 Circulation control
The Lumina 750 controls the circulation by speed of the fan. The circulation control has the following functions:
●Correct air distribution in the tunnel,
●Bringing or keeping the temperature differences in the compost within acceptable limits,
●Ensuring a more intensive heat exchange between the air and the compost if there are too high compost
temperatures.
Control options
How the circulation is controlled is determined by one of four fan control options, namely: %, m3/h, m3/h/t and %/
t. One of these is selected during installation (see the Installation manual).
The Lumina 750 determines the circulation based on this configuration:
• %: Circulation values are set and displayed in %.
• m3/h: Circulation values are set and displayed in cubic metre per hour.
• m3/h/t: Circulation values are set and displayed in cubic metre per hour. The total amount of tonnage in the
tunnel is used to calculate the minimum and maximum circulation.
• %/t: Circulation values are set and displayed in %, but the percentage depends on the tonnage in tunnel. The
percentage is pre-set in the circulation table.
Circulation table
Only the option %/t uses the circulation table (see picture below).
The circulation table gives optimal control of circulation. Each phase has a circulation table (pre-phase setting).
The table links the tonnage (T) to a certain amount of circulation (minimum, maximum and increase/day in %).
After setting up this table, the Lumina 750 automatically selects the right amount of circulation (%) for the tonnage
that is in the tunnel.
The pre-set amounts of compost (T) in the circulation table are the same for all pasteurisation phases and all
mycelium phases.
2.4.4 Compost temperature control
The Lumina 750 uses the air temperature to control the compost temperature. If the average compost
temperature is higher or lower compared to the Compost temperature control value, the difference can be
corrected by adjusting the air temperature.
A too high compost temperature can be decreased by increasing the fan speed. The fan speed will create a more
intensive heat exchange between the compost and the air.
The compost temperature control can also be used to eliminate differences between compost temperatures. The
fan speed will be used for levelling the compost temperatures.
2.4.5 O2 control
The Lumina 750 controls the O2 concentration on the basis of the O2 control value. If the O2 content drops below
the control value, fresh air will be introduced in the tunnel, even if the air inlet temperature is too low. If the O2
concentration rises above the control value, the amount of fresh air will be decreased.

Lumina 750 Basic working principles
2.4.6 Fresh air control
The Lumina 750 controls the amount of fresh air to regulate the air temperature and O2 content. Two settings
are used for fresh air control: the minimum and maximum fresh air settings. The fresh air control value is always
between these two limits. The Lumina 750 calculates the control value depending on the air inlet temperature or
O2. If both influences are present, the greatest influence applies.
2.4.7 Thermal control
Thermal control is an universal temperature control that is used as:
●An independent temperature control for a pre-heater or pre-cooler (with its own temperature setting),
●A second heating control (coupled to the first heating control),
●A second cooling control (coupled to the first cooling control).
The Lumina 750 has 3 seperate thermal controls. Switch between these 3 via the index. For example see
Function key 8: Heating/cooling/steam (page 43).
2.4.8 Pressure control
The Lumina 750 can measure the pressure to control the exhaust air damper.
2.4.9 Measurement
The Lumina 750 can measure the following:
●O2-concentration
●CO2
●Ammonia
●Air flow
2.5 Working per tunnel phase
Tunnel phases and sub-phases will be explained below:
2.5.1 PHASE 1: Le elling
Aim To bring the compost temperature to a required value within a certain period of time, or to level
the temperature differences within the compost.
Uses ●.fresh air to cool and to maintain the O2-concentration
●fan to level compost temperatures
●heating and steam (in some cases)
Method ●levels during a pre-set time. Switches to other phases irrespective of the compost condition.
●levels until the compost has reached the required condition. The Lumina 750 determines
when the switch is made to the next phase. If the compost does not reach the correct
conditions within the maximum levelling time, the Lumina 750 will automatically switch to the
next phase.
