China Solar Panel Greenhouse Steel Structure

What are Chinese solar greenhouses used for?

Chinese solar greenhouses exhibit good thermal insulation and heat storage performance. These structures are widely used in agricultural production in northern China. Compared with traditional building structures, greenhouse structures are light and sensitive to wind and snow loads 1.

What is a steel frame solar greenhouse?

With the development of the theory of active heat storage and release, a whole steel frame solar greenhouse has been proposed in recent years 16. This greenhouse structure is composed of a south roof, a north roof and columns. In this type of greenhouse, walls are replaced by columns.

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 are the environmental characteristics of different Chinese solar greenhouse types?

The environment characteristics of different Chinese solar greenhouse types. When the depth of the CSG is 0 ∼ 1.0 m, the deeper of CSG, the more increase of air temperature, and the better of insulation.

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.

Which type of thermal storage is better in Chinese solar greenhouses?

Combined two or more ways of heat storage forms, the thermal storage ability in CSG will be better. Chinese solar greenhouses (CSGs) play an important role in horticultural development, providing high-efficiency thermal storage performance compared to the other greenhouse styles.
