Chinese – Dutch cooperation on the Chinese Solar Greenhouse experiment in Shouguang

The Chinese Solar Greenhouse is simple but has a low productivity. To improve this, the inner greenhouse climate will have to become more controllable. To contribute to this, but keeping the passive character of the greenhouse, meaning that it doesn’t need additional heating, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science has developed the Active Heat Storage and Release System (AHSRS). By switching on and off a pump that runs water along large panels along the north wall the gathering of heat and the release of heat can be controlled. This project shows that the AHSRS does not affect the diurnal... Mehr ...
