A heat pump system using the thermal effluent from the Jeju thermal power plant of KOMIPO was constructed with the capacity of 300 RT to supply cool or hot water to greenhouse facilities located 3 km from the power station. The way of transporting heat from the thermal effluent to greenhouses at a long distance was optimized, and a monitoring system to measure the water temperature and detect a leakage in a pipe conduit was also installed. This paper presents the system configuration of the constructed heat pump system for air conditioning and heating of greenhouse facilities in Jeju, and the characteristics of major components deployed in the system. The preoperational tests of the heat pump system were conducted during the summer season in 2018 for evaluation of its cooling performance. The operational stability and cooling performance of the heat pump system were confirmed by investigating the measured fluid temperature and flow rate, and COP of the heat pump in a cooling mode.

The major objective of this study is to develop a method of zone cooling during summer day using heat pump for year- round cultivation. The efficiency of cold water cooling and fog cooling was investigated. In order to prevent the occurrence of blossom - end rot in tomato, cooling was induced together with air flow of the fruit treatment as well as promoting air circulation in the plant treatment was induced. The following results were obtained : 1) The temperature in the cold water cooling district was 1$0^{\circ}C$ lower than greenhouse temperature and the temperature in the fo8 cooling district was about 5$^{\circ}C$ lower than the greenhouse. 2) Regardless of cooling method, the treatment of air flow on fruit did not affect the fruit but prevent blossom-end rot. There was 34.5% occurrence rate of blossom -end rot in non-air flow district of cold water cooling 54.5% in non-air flow district of fog cooling and 78% in fog circulation cooling district. The cooling efficiency using cold water cooling method induced enough cooling at critical temperature for growth and development and the occurrence of blossom -end rot was lower than fog cooling. Fog cooling in culture district with air circulation did not induce and difference in temperature but caused an Increase in humidity resulting in 24% increase in the occurrence of blossom-end rot. Thus the occurrence of blossom-end rot in tomato caused by environmental factors can be attributed more to humidity than to temperature.

패드엔팬을 이용하여 물 공급량, 팬 회전속도의 변화에 따른 온실 냉방효과 시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 가. 패드에 흐르는 물 공급량별로 일중 11:00-16:00경에 물 공급량이 분당 60$\ell$이상 공급하면 8.0~9.5$^{\circ}C$의 온도차를 낼 수 있으며, 팬을 1170rpm으로 회전시킬 경우 6.0~9.$0^{\circ}C$의 온도차를 낼 수 있었다. 나. 온실과 팬출구 공기의 온도차는 일중 14:30~16:00 경에 60$\ell$이상의 물을 패드에 공급하는 경우 6.0~7.8$^{\circ}C$ 온도 강하 효과가 있고 팬을 1170rpm으로 회전시킬 경우에는 외기온 28$^{\circ}C$일 때 3$0^{\circ}C$이하로 온도를 강하시킬 수 있었다. 다. 패드에 흘리는 물의량을 60 $\ell$/min 이상을 공급하여 주면 30분당 20~28$\ell$의 물을 증발시킬 수 있다. 배출팬 회전속도가 1170rpm일 경우에 30분당 20~30$\ell$의 물을 증발시키는 것으로 나타났다. 라. 본시험에 사용된 패드엔팬의 흡.배기의 엔탈피변화는 8:30이전에는 흡기가 배기보다 온도가 낮아 엔탈피가 양(+)의 값을 나타났고, 8:30 이후에는 흡기가 배기 보다 온도가 높아 -2.0~-4.OkJ/kg의 엔탈피 차만큼 냉각효과가 있었으며, 냉방효율을 65~80% 수준으로 나타났다. 마. 본시험결과로 패드엔팬의 냉기 공급방식만 개선된다면 이동식인 박스형 패드엔팬도 냉방장치로 사용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for development of environmental design technology for greenhouses constructed in reclaimed lands. The climatic conditions around seven major reclaimed land areas with a plan to install advanced horticultural complexes in Korea were analyzed. The characteristics of natural ventilation and temperature rise through the thermal environment measurement of the greenhouse in Saemangeum were analyzed. The part to be applied to the environmental design of the greenhouses in reclaimed lands were reviewed. Results of comparing the ventilation rate of the greenhouse according to the presence or absence of plants showed the greenhouse with plants had the lower ventilation rate, but the smaller rise of indoor temperature due to the evapotranspiration of plants. In the greenhouse with plants, the number of air changes was in the range of 0.3 to 0.9 volumes/min and the average was 0.7 volumes/min. The rise of indoor temperature relative to outdoor temperature was in the range of 1 to $5^{\circ}C$ and the average $2.5^{\circ}C$. The natural ventilation performance of the experimental greenhouse constructed in the reclaimed land almost satisfied the recommended ventilation rate in summer and the rise of indoor temperature relative to outdoor temperature did not deviate considerably from the cultivation environment of plants. Therefore, it was determined that the greenhouse cultivation in Saemangeum reclaimed land is possible with only natural ventilation systems without cooling facilities. As the reclaimed land is located in the seaside, the wind is stronger than the inland area, and the fog is frequent. This strong wind speed increases the ventilation rate of greenhouses, which is considered to be a factor for reducing the cooling load. In addition, since the fog duration is remarkably longer than that of inland area, the seasonal cooling load is expected to decrease, which is considered to be advantageous in terms of the operation cost of cooling facilities.

The objective of the present study is to provide data needed to find double covering method to be able to improve environment of temperature, humidity and PPF in tomato greenhouse. The distribution charts of temperature, humidity and PPF which were measured in environment control conditions such as thermal insulation, air heating, roof ventilation and air fog cooling in conventional and air inflated double layers greenhouses were drawn and analysed. The thermal insulation effect of the air inflated greenhouse was the same as that of conventional greenhouse because the temperature between insulation curtain and roof covering material was equal in heating season. The ventilation effect of the air inflated greenhouse was superior to the conventional greenhouse. The temperature distribution in the fog cooled greenhouse was uniform and the cooling effect was about $3.5^{\circ}C$. The condensation on the roof covering surface could be controlled by removing the moisture between insulation curtain and roof covering by using humidifier. The PPF of conventional greenhouse was more decreased than the air inflated greenhouse as time went by because the transmittance of conventional greenhouse declined by dust collected on the inside plastic film owing to rolling up and down operation for ventilation.

This study aimed to determine the effects of root zone cooling using air duct on air temperature distribution and root zone and leaf temperatures of sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L. 'Veyron') grown on coir substrate hydroponic system in a greenhouse. When the air duct was laid at the passage adjacent the slab, the direction of air blowing was upstream at $45^{\circ}$. The cooling temperature was set at $20^{\circ}C$ for day and $18^{\circ}C$ for night. For cooing timing treatments, the cooling air was applied at all day (All-day), only night time (5 p.m. to 1 a.m.; Night), or no cooling (Control). The air temperature inside the greenhouse at a height of 40 and 80cm above the floor, and substrate and leaf temperatures, fruit characteristics, and fruit ratio were measured. Under the All-day treatment, the air temperature was decreased about $4.4{\sim}5.1^{\circ}C$ at the height of 40cm and $2.1{\sim}3.1^{\circ}C$ at the height of 80cm. Under the Night treatment, the air temperature was decreased about $3.4{\sim}3.8^{\circ}C$ at the height of 40cm and $2.2{\sim}2.7^{\circ}C$ at the height of 80cm. The daily average temperature in the substrate was in the order of the Control ($27.7^{\circ}C$) > Night ($24.1^{\circ}C$) > All-day ($22.8^{\circ}C$) treatment. Cooling the passage with either upstream blowing at $45^{\circ}$ or horizontal blowing at $180^{\circ}$ was effective in lowering the air temperature at a height of 50cm; however, no difference at a height of 100cm. Cooling the passage with perpendicular direction at $90^{\circ}$ was effective in lowering the air temperature at the height between 100 and 200cm above the floor; however, no effect on the temperature at the height of 50cm. A greater decrease in leaf temperature was found at 7 p.m. than that at 9. a.m. under both All-day and Night treatments. Fresh weight partitioning of fruit was in the order of the All-day (48.6%) > Night (45.6%) > Control (24.4%) treatment. A higher fruit production was observed under the All-day treatment, in which the accumulated average temperature was the lowest, and it may have been led to a higher proportion of photosynthate distributed to fruit than other treatments.

우리나라의 기상입지 특성상 여름철 온실 내에서 작물의 정상생육을 기대하는 것은 곤란하므로, 주년재배를 위한 여름철 온실내 환경의 호적화는 온실재배 당면의 연구과제라 할 것이다. 더우기 막대한 일사부하로 인하여 온실냉방은 경제적으로 불가능한 실정이므로 다른 방법을 강구해야 한다. 그런데 수경재배에 있어서는 비교적 근권부환경의 조절이 쉬우므로, 온실의 충분한 환기 및 차광과 더불어 양액의 냉각을 통하여 작물의 고온스트레스를 줄임으로써 안정생산을 가능하게 할 수 있을것으로 생각한다. (중략)
