ISHS Acta Horticulturae 154: II International Symposium on Plastics in Mediterranean Countries

MEASUREMENT OF RADIATIVE LOSSES AND CONVECTIVE TRANSFER IN A GREENHOUSE COVERED WITH DIFFERENT PLASTICS

Authors:   G. Le Palec, J.Y. Champagne, P. Bernaud, Ph. Bournot, B. de Muynck, R. Vandevelde
Abstract:
Some experimental results are presented for the determination of the convective heat transfer coefficient between the cover of the greenhouse and the ground. These results are only valid in the case of small shelters. From these experiments, we get data of radiative losses of the greenhouse and some values of the I.R. transmission factor for several plastics. These two parameters can easily be inserted in modelisation of thermal losses, as electrical analogy type.
