Abstract

In winter, thermal screens are widely used to reduce heat loss from greenhouse to save energy. Unfortunately, not much data are available to the farmer to compare thermal screens while selecting the one that meets their specific requirements. Thus, there is a need to investigate the thermal performance of thermal screens. To address this issue, the Building Energy Simulation (BES) model of a hot box was used to calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of the thermal screens. To validate the model, computed and experimental U-values of single-and double-layered polyethylene (PE) material were compared. This validated model was used to predict the U-values of the selected thermal screens under defined weather conditions. We quantified the U-values of each selected material and significant changes in their U-values were noted in response to different weather conditions. Notably, the thermal properties of the tested screens were taken from the previous literature to calculate U-values using the BES model. The U-values of the thermal screens can help researchers and farmers evaluate their screens and make pre-design decisions that suit their investment capabilities.

겨울철에 열손실을 줄이기 위해 많은 온실에서 보온커튼을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 적절한 보온커튼을 선택할 때 판단 자료로 활용할 수 있는 명확한 기준이 없는 실정이며 이를 위해서는 보온재의 보온 특성에 대한 정량적인 값이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 BES를 사용하여 보온커튼의 관류열전달계수를 산정하는 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하였다. 일중 및 이중 PE필름 피복에 대한 관류열전달계수의 실험값을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 결과를 검증하였다. 검증된 모델을 사용하여 문헌에서 제시된 각종 열적 특성을 가진 보온커튼에 대한 관류열전달계수를 산정하고 비교분석하였다. 개발된 시뮬레이션 모델은 다양한 보온커튼의 관류열전달계수를 산정하는 데 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 제시된 관류열전달계수는 보온커튼의 성능을 정량적으로 비교하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
