Abstract
The thermal regime of plants determines the temperature of the environment, the evaporation of moisture by plants, and the heating of plants by radiation from irradiation plants. Today, induction and LED greenhouse irradiators are promising for replacing irradiators with sodium lamps in terms of energy efficiency. Experimental studies were performed to assess the possibility of proximity of irradiators with induction lamps and LED irradiators to plants to increase their level of irradiation, in comparison with sodium radiation sources. When setting up the experiment, a complex was used, including a Fluke ti32 thermal imager, PHO-250-2-M linear autotransformer, 220V power supply, and a greenhouse irradiator. Processing of the measurement results was carried out in the Fluke SmartView 3.1 program. The heating temperature was determined when reaching the nominal mode, with the nominal mode of operation of the irradiators, with a change in the supply voltage level. Sodium and induction irradiators heat up to a maximum temperature 10 times faster than LED ones. The heating temperature of optical radiation sources with sodium lamps is 5 times higher than LED and 2.5 times higher than induction. A change in the supply voltage level affects the heating temperature of the sodium irradiator with electromagnetic ballasts, the heating temperature of sodium and induction irradiators with electronic ballasts, as well as LED irradiators, remains unchanged and equal to the nominal value at a supply voltage level of ± 10% of Unom.. Low heating temperatures of induction and LED irradiators can reduce the height of their suspension and bring them closer to plants, which will increase the irradiation of plants by increasing the level of illumination or reduce the power of irradiators, that is, increase the energy efficiency of irradiation systems
