The glass greenhouse, a marvel of plant cultivation technology, is primarily designed to harness the unparalleled light transmission properties of glass, creating the perfect illumination conditions for thriving plant growth. With an impressive high transmittance rate of over 85%-90%, it allows the majority of the sun's visible light to penetrate, thus maximizing the essential photosynthesis process for plants. This state-of-the-art structure not only ensures optimal light exposure but also expertly maintains the internal temperature, crafting a microclimate that is largely independent of the external environmental conditions. During the colder months, the glass greenhouse shines as an insulator, significantly minimizing indoor heat loss. Conversely, in hotter periods, it utilizes a sophisticated array of ventilation, shading, and other supportive measures to regulate temperature, safeguarding plants from the potentially harmful effects of excessive heat.
A glass greenhouse is a building facility with a specific frame structure. Frames are usually made of metal (such as steel), including columns, beams, trusses and other parts, which are combined to form a solid spatial framework to provide support for the installation of glass. The design of the frame should take into account the weight of the bearing glass and the pressure of resisting natural external forces such as snow and snow to ensure the safety and stability of the greenhouse. |
1. Glass greenhouse is mainly used for plant cultivation. It uses the good light transmission of glass to create suitable lighting conditions for plant growth. The high transmittance of glass (generally more than 85%-90%) can make most of the visible light in the sun pass through, ensuring that plants can fully carry out photosynthesis. At the same time, it can effectively maintain the indoor temperature and form a microclimate that is relatively independent of the external natural environment. In the cold season, the glass greenhouse can reduce the loss of indoor heat and play a role in insulation; In the hot season, the temperature is adjusted through supporting ventilation, shading and other facilities to avoid excessive temperature damage to plants.
2. In addition to plant cultivation, glass greenhouses can also be used for agricultural production activities such as flower planting and vegetable seedling cultivation, and in some cases, it is also used to display rare plants and hold horticultural exhibitions, such as tropical plants in some botanical gardens, flower exhibition greenhouses, etc., to provide people with places of appreciation and popular science education. |
A glasshouse is a semi-permanent or permanent building. Its construction needs to follow certain building codes and standards, and there are corresponding requirements in site selection, infrastructure construction, drainage, etc. Its appearance is usually more structured to adapt to the installation of glass and the use of internal space. And the scale of the glass greenhouse can be flexible according to actual needs, from small single-house greenhouse for home gardening, to large multi-house greenhouse for agricultural industrialization. |
Ventilation system
1. Natural ventilation system: relies predominantly on strategically placed side and top windows. Side windows, positioned along the greenhouse's perimeter, can be operated manually or with electric controls. The top window, situated at the greenhouse's apex, offers various opening mechanisms, such as the rack and pinion system. As indoor temperatures rise, hot air ascends and escapes through the top window, while cooler external air enters via the side windows, orchestrating a natural ventilation process that balances internal temperature and humidity.
2. Forced ventilation system: features powerful exhaust fans located at one or both ends of the greenhouse. In situations where natural airflow is insufficient, particularly during sweltering summer conditions, activating the exhaust fans expels hot interior air and draws in fresh, cooler air, thereby facilitating swift cooling and effective air exchange.
Sunshade system
1. External sunshade system: utilizes a sunshade net positioned atop the greenhouse's exterior. The net can be retracted and extended either manually or via an electric control system in response to varying light intensities and indoor temperatures. By effectively filtering sunlight, it diminishes the light and heat entering the greenhouse, preventing overheating during intense summer periods and shielding plants from damaging UV exposure.
2. Internal sunshade system: mounted within the greenhouse roof, this system not only offers shading and cooling benefits but also aids in nocturnal heat retention. It reflects a portion of sunlight, minimizing heat absorption, and can adjust light distribution internally to optimize growing conditions.
Irrigation system
1. Drip irrigation system: one of the preferred irrigation methods in glass greenhouses, this system delivers water directly to the roots via pipes leading to individual drip heads. It ensures precise water delivery, curbing evaporation and wastage, while allowing fertilizers to be seamlessly integrated into the water supply, thereby enabling targeted fertilization at the plant's base.
2. Micro-sprinkler irrigation system: equipped with sprinkler heads installed atop the greenhouse or above the plants, dispersing water in fine droplets. This method elevates air humidity, catering to species with higher humidity needs, and covers extensive areas, irrigating multiple plants simultaneously.
Heating system
1. Hot water heating system: employs boilers to heat water, which circulates through pipes situated on the greenhouse floor or in the airspace, releasing heat to elevate the indoor temperature uniformly. The system offers precise temperature control and allows residual heat to be repurposed for tasks like hot water irrigation.
2. Hot air heating system: involves hot air fans that swiftly channel heated air into the greenhouse. This approach enables rapid temperature adjustments, with the flexibility to alter air outlet positions and angles as required, ensuring optimal heat distribution.
Control system
The glass greenhouse's intelligent control system forms its technological backbone. It meticulously monitors and regulates environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light levels, and ventilation. Sensors gather comprehensive indoor and outdoor data, which is processed by a central controller to automatically adjust systems for ventilation, shading, irrigation, and heating. This ensures precise environmental control, crafting the ideal conditions for thriving plant growth.
