What are the ventilation systems of a greenhouse?
Greenhouse ventilation systems are mainly categorized into natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation. Natural ventilation relies on wind pressure and thermal buoyancy, using roof vents and side vents to regulate airflow, reduce temperature, and control humidity. This method is energy-efficient and widely used, but its effectiveness can be limited in windless or extremely hot conditions. Mechanical ventilation, on the other hand, uses fans and wet pad systems to actively exchange air, quickly removing excess heat and moisture. It is particularly beneficial for sealed environments like glass or multi-span greenhouses.
In practice, a combination of both methods is often used. Natural ventilation helps minimize energy consumption when conditions allow, while mechanical systems provide additional cooling during extreme heat or insufficient airflow. Ventilation design should consider wind speed, direction, humidity, and crop requirements to ensure uniform air circulation and prevent localized heat buildup or excessive humidity that could harm plant growth.
Chapter 5
What are the cooling systems for greenhouses?
Greenhouse cooling systems can be categorized into several types, depending on climate conditions and greenhouse structures:
- Natural Ventilation Cooling: Uses roof and side vents to regulate airflow, relying on wind pressure and thermal buoyancy to reduce internal temperatures. It is energy-efficient but influenced by external weather conditions.
- Fan and Wet Pad Cooling: A combination of exhaust fans and wet pads, where evaporating water absorbs heat, providing effective cooling. It is widely used in multi-span and enclosed greenhouses.
- Shading System Cooling: External or internal shading reduces solar radiation, lowering both greenhouse air and crop leaf temperatures. It is especially useful in regions with strong sunlight.
- Fogging/Misting Cooling: Releases fine water mist to increase humidity and absorb heat through evaporation, ideal for hot and dry climates. However, humidity control is essential to prevent plant diseases.
- Roof Spraying Cooling: Sprays water over the greenhouse roof, utilizing evaporation to cool the structure and reduce heat accumulation inside. Suitable for film and glass greenhouses.
- Cooling Fans or Air Conditioning: Provides forced cooling through air conditioners or cooling fans. This method is effective for research greenhouses or high-value crops but has high energy consumption and investment costs.
A combination of cooling methods is often used for optimal results. For example, in peak summer conditions, external shading combined with a fan and wet pad system can significantly improve the greenhouse climate and ensure stable plant growth.
