| Abstract:
A device was designed, for greenhouse heating with geothermal water and simultaneous pure water production. The heat loss factor (with a 95% confidence coefficient) is 7.68 watt/m2°C (+-0.8) for each length meter of the devise. The water condensation coefficient (with a 95% confidence coefficient) is 0.0066 (+_0.0007) liters pure water per meter of the device, hour and degree Celsius difference between geothermal water and greenhouse air. The experiments outlined above demonstrate that a greenhouse heating and simultaneously pure water production is possible with simple low technology structures. | |
