Abstract

A kind of energy-saving sunlight greenhouse with underground drip irrigation and heat storage system was designed and a greenhouse heat balance model was established in order to create the best artificial climate for plant growth and meets the requirement in energy conservation, environmental protection and economic operation. The project effectively combined the underground heat storage system in the greenhouse with warm water irrigation technology, and achieved the goal of collecting solar energy during the day and releasing it at night. A 500m2 greenhouse can save the standard coal of about 5428kg in a heating season, reduce carbon dioxide emissions of 13533 kg, save 122 m3 water per year, increase revenue of 13,100 RMB per year. From the view of energy-saving and environmental protection, this project created an effective way of heating greenhouse in winter.
