A Research on Determining The Efficiency of Greenhouse Fan-Pad System in Hot Region

16258

The aim of this study, is to investigate internal and external temperatures, which are effective in the high temperature season during July and August, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the fan pad system in the province of Antalya. In the region, greenhouses interior temperatures could go over 40 °C if they don’t have a cooling system. During July and August when the temperatures are at peak level, necessary climatic conditions inside the greenhouse should be able to provide the optimum growing conditions. For this purpose, temperature and humidity were measured and the data were compared with the values of climate parameters in order to answer these questions what extent and how much the temperature inside the greenhouse changes. The greenhouse was cooled to prevent over-heating in the high temperature season with a humidified cooling system which provides less heat in the indoor air and less water stress for plants with more humidity when we compared to natural ventilation. Based on our result, internal temperatures could be reduced as much as 7 to 14 ° C using the fan pad system in Antalya province.
