About Plants Rhythm Airconditioner
Plants Rhythm is een airconditioner met een geïntegreerde plantenmodule. Condenswater uit het apparaat wordt binnenin opgevangen en gebruikt om de planten te bewateren. Een afneembare kap, gemaakt van een metalen frame met een kunststof rooster, laat lucht door en ondersteunt de groei van de planten. De transparante kap op de bol kan worden gedraaid, zodat de planten eenvoudig te vervangen zijn. De planten geven bij licht zuurstof af en helpen de luchtkwaliteit te verbeteren. Een ingebouwde verlichting schakelt in bij weinig licht en kan 's nachts worden gebruikt. Het ontwerp hergebruikt water dat normaal gesproken wordt afgevoerd.

- Production Technology
- The detachable green plant decoration cover adopts the structure of combining metal frame and plastic grid, which can not only ensure good air permeability, but also provide stable growth support for green plants. The plant ball adopts an automatic irrigation system, which automatically adjusts the amount and time of watering by sensing indoor humidity and temperature to ensure the water required for the growth of green plants.
- Design Challenge
- The first problem we face is how to make use of air conditioner wastewater; Secondly, how to combine green plants with air conditioning should be considered; Finally, we need to think about how to skillfully integrate the new design into the family environment. Therefore, various attempts have been made in the shape and structure of the product.
- Research
- With the continuous growth of the world population, the number of water scarce areas is also increasing. Given this, make full use of water resources that were once overlooked by people. Recycling neglected air conditioning condensate water to achieve water conservation and protect water resources.
- Inspiration
- In conventional air conditioning design, air conditioning condensate is often discharged as wastewater. In fact, after cleaning the interior of the air conditioner, its purity is high and its pH is neutral, making it a high-quality irrigation water source and providing a good growth environment for green plants. Based on this, we have designed an environmentally friendly air conditioner that allows for the recycling of condensed water, achieving symbiosis between plants and the air conditioner.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Lishui, China in September 2024.
- Operation Flow
- Rotate the transparent cover on the surface of the sphere to replace the plants inside. Easy to install and disassemble, allowing for easy replacement of plants inside the ball. The built-in lighting design allows it to be used as a night light decoration at night. The soft lighting, combined with green plants, has a healing effect on the soul. The product has a deeper emotional connection and interaction with users. Simultaneously improving the home environment.
