Variation of Indoor Air Temperature by using Hot Water Piping in Greenhouse

온수배관에 의한 온실 내부의 온도변화

This study was performed to obtain a heat saving effect and enhance the efficiency of a greenhouse by using a hot water piping in order to minimize the operating costs of a greenhouse as oil prices continue to rise. This method also reduces the likelihood of accidents caused by snowdrifts in regions with heavy snowfall. In general, the experimental plot was $2.0{\sim}6.0^{\circ}C$ higher than the control plot. When the skylight felt was opened, the minimum temperature was in the range of $3.0{\sim}12.0^{\circ}C$. Therefore, we judged that damage caused by snowdrifts may be prevented partly by active heating. The temperature difference inside of the greenhouse by height was insignificant. The maximum heating load of the greenhouse according to crop was respectively about $37,000kcal{\cdot}h^{-1}$ and $41,700kcal{\cdot}h^{-1}$. During the experiment, the heat value of each designed temperature in the range of the minimum ambient temperature $-11.9{\sim}4.0^{\circ}C$ was about 95,000~322,000 kcal and it was in the range of $6,050{\sim}20,900kcal{\cdot}h^{-1}$. If it is compared with the maximum heating load, it can be shown that about 15~56% of the heating energy can be supplied. The total heat value and the amount of power consumption were 2,629,025 kcal and 677.3 kWh respectively during the experiment. If it is heated with diesel, a fossil fuel, the consumption during the experiment was 291 L and the cost was 331,700won. Total cost of using electric power was about 24,400 won and it is shown that it is about 7.5% of the cost of diesel consumption. Also, if the total amount of power consumption is converted into energy, it is approximately 582,200 kcal and the energy was just about 22% of the total heat value.

본 연구는 유가상승에 따른 온실의 경영비 절감과 적설지역의 적설재해를 경감시키기 위하여 온수배관을 이용한 난방효과 및 온실곡부의 온도 상승효과를 구명하고자 수행되었다. 전체적으로 실험구의 온도가 대비구 보다 약 $2.0{\sim}6.0^{\circ}C$정도 높게 나타났다. 천창부직포를 개방한 경우, 최저온도가 약 $3.0{\sim}12.0^{\circ}C$범위로 나타나 적극적인 난방을 하게 되면 적설피해도 어느 정도 예방할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 온실 내부의 높이별 온도 차이는 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 재배작물에 따른 온실의 최대난방부하는 각각 약 $37,000kcal{\cdot}h^{-1}$ 및 $41,700kcal{\cdot}h^{-1}$정도이었다. 실험기간동안 최저 외기온 $-11.9{\sim}4.0^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 설정온도별 발열량은 95,000~322,000 kcal 정도로서 시간당 $6,050{\sim}20,900kcal{\cdot}h^{-1}$정도의 범위에 있었고, 최대난방부하와 비교하면 약 15~56%정도의 난방에너지를 공급할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 실험기간동안 전체 발열량과 소비전력량은 각각 2,629,025 kcal 및 677.3 kWh이었다. 화석연료인 경유로 난방 할 경우, 실험기간동안 소요되는 소비량은 291L 정도이었고, 비용은 331,700 won인 것으로 나타났다. 전력사용에 대한 총비용은 24,400 won정도로서 경유 소비 비용의 7.5%정도로 나타났다. 또한 전체 소비전력량을 에너지로 환산하면 약 582,200 kcal이고, 이 에너지는 전체 발열량의 약 22%에 불과하였다.
