Vertical greenhouse - economical and ecological alternative for high-energy consumption protected spaces.

Abstract

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Classic greenhouses have a more reduce efficiency, due to its source of heat which it is placed in thelower side of the greenhouse; the amount of heated air that reaches the upper side of the greenhousecannot be sufficient for the small plants. The greenhouse effect that occurs when it’s hot outside cannotbe counteract using classic ventilation systems. The new vertically developed greenhouse, for thesame surface existing on the ground can assure an increased surface of seedbed and provide superiorconditions in receiving heat and light. It’s destination is in producing flower and vegetables seedlings andalso in drying seeds of flower and vegetables both throughout the year. The greenhouse consists froma site developed vertically correlated functionally with an ascending-descending vertically transportsystem powered by an electrical engine through an electronic speed variator and a reducer worm-wheel.The vertically developed greenhouse multiplies four times the surface of the seedbed; the plants arebrightened equally; vertically construction allows the use of the heat produced in the lower side of theequipment, the heated air succumbing heat to the biological material and to the appliance, therefore theair temperature that reaches the upper side of the greenhouse is lower than it’s in a classic greenhouse.This construction assures the reduction of germination range by 17.93% and it also reduces the growthperiod of the biological material by 21.63%; drying the seeds from the pumpkin group reduces theexposure time by 71.45%, and workmanship saving of 5.47%.
