AN IDEAL CLIMATE LAW IN THE GREENHOUSE |
| Authors: | J.F. Doualle, G.M. Coulon |
| Abstract:
A first prototype was built to test the water-screen flow system. A permanent flow of water over the roof and sides of the greenhouse maintains the greenhouse internal temperature at 21°C at no cost other the installations. A second real size greenhouse is presently being built with three added elements permitting a greater control over the internal climate:
Control over the T°, humidity level and air movement leads to the creation of an ideal climate adjustable to the plant optimum level of comfort, with energy saving up to 90 % as compared with ordinary heating system. | |
