ISHS Acta Horticulturae 170: Greenhouse Construction and Covering Materials

PRACTICAL EVALUATION OF THERMAL SCREENS

Author:   J. Meyer
Abstract:
The use of thermal screens is a common method for energy saving in German horticulture. Although reliable installations are principally availlable, growers have to overcome a lot of problems when they use screens. The most essentual problems are being described and discussed as tese are:
  • ununiformity of inside temperature,
  • temperature fall or rise when the screen is opened or closed,
  • insufficient tightness especially at elder installations,
  • missing knowledge about reliability of the material.
