온실에서 환기는 온실내외의 공기를 교환하여 온실내부의 환경을 조절하는 수단으로 활용되고 있으나 조절 목표는 한계가 있기 때문에 보조수단의 역할을 한다. 주년재배용 대규모 온실 설계시 해결해야 할 문제중의 하나가 여름철의 고온장해이며 이는 온실의 자연환기 성능과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 본 강좌에서는 온실의 자연환기에 관한 기본적인 내용을 요약하여 정리하고, 온실구조가 자연환기 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 수치해석으로 온실의 필요환기량, 측창과 천창의 면적비와 온실 폭이 자연환기 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 온실의 자연환기 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 주어진 조건하에서 가능한 한 측창과 천창의 면적을 동일하게 설계해야 하고 주년재배용 대규모 온실에서는 폭이 대략 50m이상이 되면 자연환기성능을 기대하기 어렵기 때문에 유의해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

일반적으로 온실은 저온기에는 보온이나 난방을 하면서 적극 사용하고 있으나 고온기에는 냉방에 소요되는 에너지가 난방에 비해 상대적으로 많이 소요되므로 온실의 활용도가 떨어지게 된다. 자연환기 시스템은 에너지를 사용하지 않거나 최소한으로 줄여 온실내 온도를 최소한 외부와 동일하게 하거나 낮게 하기 위한 장치라고 할 수 있다. 자연환기를 위한 환기창으로 유리온실이나 경질판 온실과 같은 양지붕형 온실에서는 측창으로 3Way방식이나 권취식, 프로젝트방식 등 다양한 환기창을 사용하고 있으나 천창은 주로 온실 길이방향의 연속형 창틀을 랙앤피니언이나 X형 개폐암으로 개폐하는 프로젝트 방식을 많이 사용하고 있다.

Ventilation rates, inside and outside weather data were measured in a arch-shape single-span plastic greenhouse growing tomatoes. On the roof of the experimental greenhouse, round windows which have a diameter of 0.6 m were installed at intervals of 8m. It showed that the number of air changes in this greenhouse were average 0.17 volumes per minute and in the range of 0.02 to 0.32 volumes per minute. These air changes are insufficient to meet the recommended ventilation rate for commercial greenhouses, and it is estimated that interval of 6 m is appropriate for spring or fall season. For summer season, it is necessary to narrow the space or to enlarge the open area of roof windows. Using the heat balance model, the evapotranspiration coefficients of greenhouse tomatoes were estimated from experimental ventilation data, overall heat transfer and solar radiation. It showed that the evapotranspiration coefficients were average 0.62 and in the 0.39 to 0.85 range. We suggest applying 0.6 as the evapotranspiration coefficient in design of ventilation for the single-span tomato greenhouses.

In summer, the natural ventilation performance for varying greenhouse width is very important in the glasshouses for year round cultivation. The effect of the side openings and greenhouse width on natural ventilation performance was analyzed by simulation. The necessary ventilation rate with different solar radiation transmittance increased significantly when the outside temperature grows higher. The necessary ventilation rate of 40% transmittance was about half of that of 90% transmittance. In consequence, shading effect on temperature control in greenhouse is significant in summer. When the total area of the openings for ventilation is constant, the maximum ventilation rate happens when the area of roof openings is equal to the area of side openings. This maximum ventilation rate is about 3 times of that of the greenhouse with roof openings and without side openings. Therefore, the side openings are advantageous to improve the natural ventilation in greenhouses. As the greenhouse width increases, the influence of side openings on the ventilation rate is becoming smaller. If the natural ventilation rate of the greenhouse with roof and side openings is to become double of that of the roof openings only, the width should be narrower than 38.4m for the Venlo type and 64m for Wide span type.

It is difficult to install a ventilation window on the roof of single span greenhouses of arch shape. Investigation on the roof ventilation structures for those greenhouses was conducted. In small greenhouses with spans of 5 to 8 m, circular or chimney type ridge vents made of plastic were employed. In large greenhouses with spans of 12 to 18 m, even span roll-up ridge vents made of steel pipe were employed. The effect of roof ventilation was evaluated by comparative experiments between greenhouse installing ridge vents and having controlled side vents only. Roof ventilation contributed greatly to restraint of temperature rise and maintenance of uniform temperature distribution in greenhouses. And ventilation efficiency was analyzed by experiments on the opening and closing operation of the ridge and side vent. There were no temperature differences according to opening and closing sequence of ventilation window. But for greenhouse temperature control by ventilation, it is desirable to open side vents after ridge vents and to close ridge vents after side vents.

Environmental measurements in the many different types of horticultural farms were carried out to evaluate the ventilation performance for multi-span plastic greenhouses according to the eaves height, the number of spans, the existence of side wall vents and the position of roof vents. Hydroponic tomatoes were being cultivated in all experimental greenhouses, and ventilation rates of the greenhouses were analyzed by the heat balance method. It showed that the ventilation rate in the greenhouse with 4 m eaves height increased about 22% compared to the greenhouse with 2 m eaves height. The ventilation rate in the greenhouse with 9 spans decreased about 17% compared to the greenhouse with 5 spans. In the greenhouse with 9 spans, if there were no side wall vents, the ventilation rate showed about a third of the case that side wall vents were open. Overall, as the eaves height was higher and the number of spans was smaller in multi-span greenhouses, the natural ventilation performance was better. And the ventilation performance was best in the greenhouse which the eaves height was high and the position of roof vents was ridge, not gutter. Therefore, in order to maximize the natural ventilation performance, multi-span plastic greenhouses need to improve their structures such as that make the eaves height higher, place the roof vents on the ridge, install the side wall vents as much as possible, and the number of spans is limited to about 10 spans.

온실에서 환기는 외기와의 공기교환을 통한 온도 및 습도의 조절뿐만 아니라 이산화탄소 등의 가스농도를 조절함으로써 온실내 공기의 쾌적성 확보와 실내기류의 형성으로 인한 작물의 생육촉진에도 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 그러므로, 작물생육환경의 최적화를 통한 품질향상 및 수확량 증대를 목적으로 하는 온실재배에 있어서 환기특성 분석 및 공기유동 예측은 가장 기본적인 설계요소라 할 수 있다. (중략)

환기는 온실내 미기상에 중요한 영향을 미치는 물리적 과정임에도 불구하고 이에 대한 연구는 아직까지 빈약해 왔다. 환기는 온실내의 온도, 습도 그리고 이산화탄소 등의 가스농도를 최적으로 제어하기 위한 수단으로 사용되어진다(Bailey, 1988). 강제환기시스템은 대부분의 온실에서 그 사용이 보편화되지 못하였으므로, 일반적으로 자연환기가 원예시설의 공기교환을 위한 유일한 수단이 되고 있다. (중략)

The objectives of this study were to investigate the standard and roof vent type of multi-span greenhouse and to analyze the characteristics of natural ventilation of multi-span greenhouse with different roof vent using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. The vent area proportion of surveyed farms averaged 10%, it was analyzed that the vent design for natural ventilation is insufficient. The results of natural ventilation efficiency of multi-span greenhouse according to roof vent type showed that the temperature of the position in which the crops grew was the lowest in the conical roof vent type and the highest in the half conical roof vent type. For the natural ventilation effect, the conical roof vent type was the best one, but the structural stability should be evaluated in light of wind load.

Natural ventilation in a four and one-half span, double polyethylene commercial greenhouse was investigated with actual data collected at Quailcrest Farm near Wooster, Ohio. Moreover, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical technique, FLUENT V4.3, was used to predict natural ventilation rates, thermal conditions, and airflow distributions in the greenhouse. The collected climate data showed that the multi-span greenhouse was well ventilated by the natural ventilation system during the typical summer weather conditions. The maximum recorded air temperature difference between inside and outside the greenhouse was 3.5$^{\circ}C$ during the hottest (34.7$^{\circ}C$) recorded sunny day; the air temperatures in the greenhouse were very uniform with the maximum temperature difference between six widely dispersed locations being only 1.7$^{\circ}C$. The CFD models predicted that air exchange rates were as high as 0.9 volume per minute (A.C. .min$^{-1}$ ) with 2.5m.s$^{-1}$ winds from the west as designed.
