Cooling Effect of Air in Greenhouse Using A Fog Sprayer Consisted of Two-fluid Nozzle with Turbo Fan

For the promotion of the evaporative cooling efficiency of hot air in greenhouse in summer, a fog sprayer consisted of a high volume spraying two-fluid nozzle with turbo fan and a blowing fan was set up at 2.2 m height from bottom of small glass greenhouse and tested to estimate the possibility of the greenhouse cooling. The mean droplet size and the volume sprayed by one of fog sprayer were $29{\mu}m$ and $160m{\ell}/min$. All the droplets sprayed and blown by the fog sprayer were evaporated within 2 m radius. The result from the cooling test that two sprayers set up in glass greenhouse of plane area $228m^2$ was represented lower cooling effect that the temperature and relative humidity of inside air of greenhouse were $28.8^{\circ}C$ and 87.5% when those of outside air of greenhouse were $30.2^{\circ}C$ and 81.2%. Through investigation of literatures and results of the cooling test, it was estimated that the water spraying rate of evaporative cooling of single span greenhouse with 50% light curtain and with air change rate of 1 volume/min was $10m{\ell}/min/m^2$ so that the inside air temperature may cool down $2{\sim}3^{\circ}C$ on the basis of $35^{\circ}C$ atmospheric temperature in summer of south korean area.

터보 팬 2류체 노즐로 구성한 포그 분무장치를 이용한 온실 내 공기의 냉각 효과

여름철 고온기 온실 내 효율적 증발냉방을 위하여 다량 포그 분무가 가능하고 설치비용이 저렴하도록 한 터보팬 2류체 노즐로 포그 분무장치를 구성하고 소형 유리온실에 2.2 m 높이로 설치하여 냉방시험을 실시하였다. 이 장치의 분무시험 결과 평균분무입경이 $29{\mu}m$이고 1대당 포그 분무량은 $160m{\ell}/min$로 비산반경 2 m이내에서 입자들이 모두 증발하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 장치를 평면적 $228m^2$인 단동 유리온실에 2대를 설치하여 냉방실험한 결과, 외기의 온도 $30.2^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 81.2%인 때 온실 내 공기의 온도 $28.8^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 87.5%의 낮은 냉각효과를 나타내었다. 문헌 조사와 냉방실험 결과로부터 여름철 우리나라 남부지역의 외기온 $35^{\circ}C$를 기준으로 단동온실은 50% 차광에서 증발냉각에 의해 온실 내 공기온도를 외기온보다 $2{\sim}3^{\circ}C$ 낮추려면 환기회수 1회/분, 물분무량은 $10m{\ell}/min/m^2$인 것으로 추정되었다.
