| Abstract |
In this study, basic research was conducted to investigate the application of water flow glazing (WFG) technology in greenhouses to satisfy seasonal demands. A model greenhouse was made with a water layer. Experiments were performed to analyze the effect of water temperature and flow rate. The results showed that the surface temperature of the greenhouse cover and the internal temperature of the greenhouse were significantly reduced due to the presence of a water layer. The internal temperature slightly changed according to the flow rate but rapidly changed according to the water temperature. However, these results are limited to the experimental range, and further analysis is required to determine the most cost-effective variables for efficient cooling performance. Water flow glazing is a promising technology with excellent optical and heat transfer properties, making it a viable solution for both cold and hot climates. |
