Greenhouse cultivation plays a key position in modern agriculture promoting high crop production. Cooling or heating technologies are mostly applied in greenhouses in tropical and boreal climate regions, respectively to provide a suitable environment for crop cultivation.
Generally, the air conditioners were provided to control the temperature the whole greenhouse area during cultivation. It leads to a huge amount of energy consumption. Hence, environmental control with a low energy consumption method in the greenhouse is essential for cultivation.
For this purpose, we are conducting research on the local climate control which only controls the climate near the crops in greenhouse. We considered controlling the temperature from the air and soil.
We examined the heat transfer performance of the serpentine heat exchanger for the air temperature controlled. Then, we aimed to estimate and compare energy requirements based on experimental results of periodic air temperature changes for the local-area and whole-area control in greenhouse cultivation. As a result, our proposed system has a possibility to reduce the total energy requirement of the local-area control around 70% compared to that of the whole-area control of practical greenhouse crop cultivation. Our local climate control system may contribute to energy-savings in greenhouse agricultural field.
Research on soil temperature control is currently ongoing.
From the perspective of heat transfer engineering, we propose local climate control methods to achieve effective environmental management for crops. The ultimate goal is energy-saving in greenhouse cultivation through these methods, while also securing high-quality and high-yield crop production. Consequently, farmers can achieve higher incomes, and human lifestyles can be improved through access to superior-quality food.
I am also eager to engage in joint research, both nationally and internationally, in these related fields.
