What is a solar greenhouse wall?
Traditional solar greenhouse wall combines the functions of heat preservation and heating. It cannot accommodate both heat storage and insulation that the heat stored in the wall is uncontrollably lost as the temperature difference between the interior and exterior increases.
How does a greenhouse north wall work?
Numerous studies have demonstrated that the greenhouse north wall functions as a thermal absorber during the daytime, effectively capturing both solar radiation and the air convective heat, and subsequently releasing the heat back into the air when the indoor air temperature is lower than that of the inner wall surface [6, 7].
How does the north wall affect the thermal performance of a greenhouse?
The north wall configurations play an essential role in heat storage and thermal insulation and directly affect the management of the internal environment. This research is devoted to further improve the thermal performance of the greenhouse and explore the potential of the north wall.
Can a north wall transfer heat to a greenhouse?
Moreover, the north wall could continuously transfer heat to the greenhouse after the insulated quilt was unfolded. However, the energy would be partially attenuated after the heat was accumulated through the wall and then released into the greenhouse, where the attenuated part was used to maintain the temperature of the north wall.
How to improve the thermal environment of Chinese solar greenhouses?
This paper summarizes the renewable and sustainable strategies for improving the thermal environment of Chinese solar greenhouses (CSG) from structural forms, north wall materials and equipment for thermal storage. CSG structure forms include sunken, variable south roof and air channel heat exchange.
What is a Chinese solar greenhouse with air channel heat exchange?
Schematic diagram of Chinese solar greenhouse with air channel heat exchange. Air channel in the north wall (A, B), air channel underground (C, D). In CSGs, the north wall can not only bear loadings, but also absorb solar energy during the day and release heat into CSG during the night. A traditional CSG has a relatively thick north wall.
