Invernadero utiliza energía solar para el control de temperatura

Abstract

A company dedicated to the branch of vegetables in Jiménez city, Chihuahua, MX. Through a project with the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT) linked to the Technological University of Chihuahua, they develop a prototype of a greenhouse based on the use of solar energy in order to reduce the use of LP gas for heating the greenhouse and the implementation of chimneys worked under the Venturi principle, which is estimated to reduce the use of electric fans and extractors. The greenhouse construction is 60 x 70 meters. The electronic greenhouse system allows measuring, controlling, automating and monitoring the temperature and humidity parameters. Climate control of the greenhouse is possible thanks to the use of sensors of different climatic variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and carbon dioxide. The implementation of the solar thermal and photovoltaic system, with the synergy of electronics and automation achieves an efficient saving of electric energy through the designed prototype Objectives: Develop a greenhouse prototype with the operation based on the use of solar energy for the conditioning of its facilities (cooling and heating), allowing a significant reduction in its operating costs by reducing the use of fuels such as gas and electricity and consequently a decrease in atmospheric emissions
