Abstract |
In this study, basic research was conducted to apply WFG (Water Flow Glazing) technology effectively in greenhouses for infrared blinding. Experiments were conducted with different test specimens based on PMMA thickness and water layer thickness utilizing both natural and artificial light sources. Results demonstrated that the water layer effectively blocked infrared radiation. However, differences in PMMA thickness were minimal, while variations in water layer thickness were evident. WFG technology is proven to be an effective solution for adapting to changing climates. It is feasible even in extreme climatic conditions. |
