This experiment was carried out to analyse on the cooling and dehumidifying effects of greenhouse by air-to-water heat pump system employing the air as cooling source. following results were obtained ; 1. The coefficients of performance (COP) of heat pump itself and total heat pump system were approximately 2.71~2.88 and 1.99~2.22, respectively. 2. The night-time cooling load of experimental greenhouse was 64.9 MJ/h, and the heat absorbed (cooling load) from heat pump system was 816.3~1,004.6 MJ/day. 3. The dehumidified moisture amount from experimental greenhouse was 7.0~15.0 kg/h. 4. The night time temperature of experimental greenhouse cooled by heat pump system could be maintained 4~6$^{\circ}C$ lower than that of control greenhouse which was almost equal to outside air temperature.

This study was carried out in order to estimate the greenhouse performance for Ground filtration water source heat pump which was installed for supplying the heat to the paprika greenhouse in Jinju city. Experimental area of Greenhouse was $3,300m^2$, For keeping the heat from greenhouse, single plastic covering and double thermal screen was installed. With considering all of greenhouse insulation condition and designed heatng temperature, heating capacity for experimental greenhouse was calculated as 320,000kcal/hr. Coefficient of performance(COP) of Ground filtration water source heat pump was gauged and greenhouse heating performance was tested from Febuary 1 to Febuary 28 in 2011. The result showed that COP of heat pump was in the range of 3.7~4.7 and COP of heating system was in the range of 3.0~3.5. The vaule of COP was very high and the temperature inside greenhouse was well corresponded to the setting temperature of greenhouse environment controlling system. lots of Ground filtration water made the the number of well fewer and the expense for installing heating system cheaper than that of geothermal system used custmarily. and this system went beyond the limitation of intaking amount of groundwater in normal Groundwater source heat pump.

The greenhouse is a complex system. It is subject to multiple input disturbances that are highly dependent on meteorological conditions, which are generally nonlinear and have a great influence on the agricultural production. The objective of this paper is to study the fuzzy logic technique as one of the most efficient technologies to control the greenhouse. The fuzzy logic controller (FLC) was developed to activate the actuator based on a ventilator was installed in an experimental greenhouse to obtain a desired temperature of the microclimate despite the externals disturbances.

This study was performed to improve underirable warm greenhouse environment by fog cooling system in summer season. The resultsof droplet size analysis and cooling effects for fog cooling system are summarized as follows ; 1. At the pump pressure of 70kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ , the mean (SMD) drop size was 22.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the maximum and minimum drop size was 45.68${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.73${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ , respectively, and almost all of the drop size was less than 40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. 2. The temperature of fog cooling greenhouse with 60% shading was dropped more than 2$^{\circ}C$ below the ambient temperature , while the greenhouse temperature without shading was 1$^{\circ}C$ higher than the ambient temperature. 3. It was found that fog spraying intervals were significantly influential on cooling effect. 4. When the greenhouse was ventilated sufficiently by natural vent system, green house temperature could be maintained by 2.5$^{\circ}C$ lower than the ambient temperature, while it was difficult to drop the greenhouse temperature below ambient temeperature without sufficient ventilation. 5. It was found that the temperature of experimental greenhouse could be maintained 3$^{\circ}C$ to 14$^{\circ}C$ lower that of control greenhouse though there were variations depending on experimental and weather conditions.

Two types of solar energy-latent heat storage system have been developed to minimize the fossil fuel consumption and maximize the solar energy utilization in greenhouse heating during the winter season. The one was installed on the greenhouse floor, and the other in the underground of the greenhouse . Sodium suphate decahydrate was selected as a highly concentrative solar energy storage medium and its unstable thermophysicla properties were adjusted by some additives. Thermal efficiency of them was analyzed by numerical and experimental method.

It was needed to know the amount of PPF to design greenhouse and predict the growth of crops in greenhouse. Experiments have been conducted to determine the transmission of PPF at canopy level along sky clearness condition in greenhouse, the correlation between the hourly PPF and total solar radiation. Additional experiments are needed to confirm these experimental results.

For the high quality and low cost agricultural crops in greenhouse cultivation, it is necessary to use natural energy as much as possible. In order to reduce the fossil fuel consumption and maximize the solar energy utilization in greenhouse heating, a latent heat storage material was developed as a relatively highly concentrative solar energy storage medium. And a solar energy-latent heat storage system was designed and constructed. The experimental research on greenhouse heating effect of the system was performed.

In this study, we have developed a web-based management system for greenhouse teleoperation. The remote control system consisted of a database, a web-server, a controller in greenhouse, and clients. The database in the server stored user's information and greenhouse conditions was used to manage user's login and conditioning data. The management system developed by using Java applet, which was a client program for effective and easy management of greenhouse, monitored the greenhouse in real time. Master and driver boards were installed in the greenhouse control unit. Database on flowering to collect and analyze data exchanged data with the server. The master board could be managed effectively by timer routine, repeat control within setting time, and algorithm of setting points. Also, the greenhouse conditions could be controlled by manual or remote controller(PC) through a web browser in internet. Furthermore, all of the control devices of the greenhouse were managed by remote control of using PC and checked via camera installed in greenhouse. Finally, we showed the experimental results of the system which was installed in Pusan Horticultural Experiment Station.

This experiment was carried out to study on the effect of greenhouse heating by water-to-water heat pump system employing heating water tank(ground water) as the heat source. Followings are the results obtained from this study ; 1. The heat amount absorbed from evaporator and the heat amount rejected from condenser were approximately 9, 000~ 12, 000kcal/h and 13, 000~ 17, OOOkcal/h, respectively. 2. The heat efficiencies of evaporator and condenser used in this experiment were approximately 79% and 83%, respectively. 3. The maximum heating load estimated for the experimental greenhouse was about 18, 000 ~ 25, OOOkcal/h, which was found to be about 28 ~ 32% higher than the heating capacity of the heat pump system adopted for this experiment. 4. The coefficients of performance(COP) for the heat pump and the total heat pump system were approximately 2.9~3.5 and 1.5~2.4, respectively. 5. The coefficient of performance(COP) calculated from the Mollier Diagram was about 3.2 ~ 3.4, which was reasonably close to the COP estimated on the basis of measured values. 6. The temperature of experimental greenhouse heated by the heat pump system could be maintained about 12~15 。C higher than that of a control greenhouse.
