Abstract:
The radiation and temperature environment of PO and PVC greenhouses were examined in this research. The main results are as follows: The highest transmittance of total solar radiation in PO greenhouse is 76.7 % and its aged deterioration is very little. The transmittance of PVC greenhouse dropped to 71.6 % from 88.9 % . Condensation on the film in PO greenhouse is very little with 40 g/m
2. It is up to 140 g/m
2 in the PVC greenhouse. And the performance of anti drop of PVC film decreased rapidly with ages. It was observed that the solar radiation transmittance of greenhouses declined 11% by 100g/m
2 of condensation on film. A ccording to the principle of heat budget, a new function was induced to evaluate the influence of condensation at the film on air temperature difference(in side-outside).
