Abstract

Abstract The Korean government plans to establish large-scale horticultural facilities using reclaimed land to improve the competitiveness of the national agricultural sector at the government level. One of the most significant corresponding problemsis the ongoing dependence of these facilities on fossil fuel, whereby constant heating is necessary during the winter season to provide the necessary breeding conditions for greenhouse crops. In particular, high-level energy consumption is incurredfrom the use of heating-related coverings with large heat-transmission coefficients such as those composed of vinyl and glass. This study investigated the potential applicability of waste-incineration heat for use in large-scale horticultural facilitiesby evaluating the hot-water temperature, heat loss, and available greenhouse area as functions of the distance between theincineration facility and the greenhouse. In conclusion, waste-incineration heat from a HDPE pipe can heat a horticulturalfacility of 10 ha if the distance is less than 8 km.
