Experi- ments were designed to evaluate two cooling methods (Watergy chimney method and pool method) in a closed greenhouse in Beijing during warm seasons. Prelimi- nary results showed that average temperature at daytime (from 8:00 to 18:00) at 100 cm above ground surface in the closed greenhouse could be reduced by 8 with the Watergy chimney method. Average relative humidity fluctuated between 45% and 75% during daytime at 100 cm above ground surface within the closed greenhouse. With the pool method, average temperature was about 10 ℃ lower than that of the control greenhouse without pool at 50 cm above the ground surface. The peak temperature at 50 cm height was about 32℃ between 11:30 and 15:00 and, close to outside temperature. Temperature in this system satisfied normal growth of most crops, but relative humidity at 50 cm height were above 90% at daytime.展开更多

The results showed that environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and CO_2 in a closed greenhouse, were far higher than those in a conventional greenhouse. Compared with tomato and cowpea, spinach and alfalfa adapted well to high temperature and high humidity, and their water requirement and water use efficiency in the closed greenhouse were higher than those in the conventional greenhouse.展开更多
