THE IMPACT OF INSECT SCREENS AND VENTILATION OPENINGS ON THE GREENHOUSE MICROCLIMATE
(2008)
The objective of this work was to experimentally investigate the influence of vent type (side, roof, or both) and of anti-aphid insect screens on airflow, air temperature, and air vapor pressure deficit distribution in a ...
Convective and ventilation transfers in greenhouses, Part 1: the greenhouse considered as a perfectly stirred tank
(2002)
In this paper, the characterization and modelling of the most relevant convective transfers contributing to the elaboration of the greenhouse climate are reviewed. Convective transfers include heat and mass transfers between ...
Effect of vent arrangement on windward ventilation of a tunnel greenhouse
(2004)
The effect of ventilation configuration of a tunnel greenhouse with crop on airflow and temperature patterns was numerically investigated using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. The numerical model was ...
Influence of the heating method on greenhouse microclimate and energy consumption
(2005)
The influence of the heating system method on greenhouse microclimate was investigated overnight, using an experimental greenhouse tunnel with a tomato crop. The heating system consisted of plastic heating pipes located ...
Convective and ventilation transfers in greenhouses, part 2: Determination of the distributed greenhouse climate
(2002)
In this paper, the characterisation and modelling of the most relevant convective transfers contributing to the description of the distributed greenhouse climate are studied in detail. After a brief review of the equations ...
Greenhouse microclimate and soilless pepper crop production and quality as affected by a fog evaporative cooling system
(2007)
The influence of greenhouse! humidity control on greenhouse microclimate, crop transpiration rate, and yield and. fruit quality of a soilless grown pepper crop was studied in a greenhouse located at the coastal area of ...
Calibration and validation of a biological model to simulate the development and production of tomatoes in Mediterranean greenhouses during winter period
(2009)
The aim of this work is to calibrate and validate the adaptation of TOMGRO (TOMato GRowth), a crop growth simulation model for tomato, to the short-term cropping technique and to conditions in Greece. Current practice in ...
Influence of leaf area index on canopy energy partitioning and greenhouse cooling requirements
(2002)
Canopy transpiration, which represents the major cooling process in greenhouses, depends strongly on the crop leaf area index I-LA. In this paper, the influence Of I-LA on canopy and greenhouse energy balance of a soilless ...
Influence of an insect screen on greenhouse ventilation
(2002)
The influence of an insect screen on ventilation rate was experimentally investigated in a multispan glass-covered greenhouse equipped with a continuous roof vent, located at the University of Thessaly near volos in the ...
Temperature gradients in a partially shaded large greenhouse equipped with evaporative cooling pads
(2003)
The main drawback of greenhouse evaporative cooling systems based on cooling pads and extracting fans is the thermal gradient developed along the direction of the airflow. High-temperature gradients of this type can markedly ...
