Greenhouse Systems
Heating Systems
Just as plant roots and vegetables need soil, water, fertilizer, sun and hoeing to show adequate development, they also need heat. The temperature required for greenhouse plants such as tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, zucchini and cucumbers, which are grown intensively, to be healthier, more tonnage and more delicious, is in the range of 18-24 degrees, but it is sufficient to keep the temperature inside the greenhouse between 7-10 degrees. At temperatures below this degree, the development of the plant slows down, its resistance to diseases increases, and it creates more drug costs. Deformities and spots occur.
Heating System with Heating
The central heating system provides heating by heating a fluid and circulating it in a closed system.
The elements of the central heating system are as follows.
1. A stove or burner that converts fuel energy into heat energy.
2. Boiler producing hot water or steam with the heat obtained from the furnace.
3. The pump and motor that sends the water to the system in the greenhouse and various materials and parts that control their operation.
4. The heat from the hot water or steam circulating inside the greenhouse air and which is mostly piped
are modifiers.
In this system, the burner operating with the thermostat adjusted depending on the desired temperature
It is controlled by the boiler operation thermometer at the time. In addition, the danger of steam that will occur with high temperature is kept under control with air valves. To store the amount of water that expands by heating and to prevent the water in the boiler from overheating, a safety or expansion tank should be placed on a high place.
is placed. Hot water is sent to the greenhouse with the help of a pump. The greenhouse temperature is controlled by thermostats.
