An increasing amount of sunlight is available to sunken greenhouses located in northern China, but it remains unclear how the indoor temperature changes at different heights and at the north and south ends of the structure. To study how the temperature in a single indoor section, at multiple points, varies in a sunken solar greenhouse, 10 measurement lines were arranged in a section 30 m from the west wall. Each line was equipped with a corresponding WT-59 wireless sensor. Temperature and humidity data were collected from 8 March 2019 to 26 December 2019. The following results were obtained. (1) The indoor temperature variation in a day could be divided into four stages: from 0:00 to 7:30 h, the temperature at all measurement points decreased linearly; from 7:30 to 14:30 h, the temperature at all measurement points increased curvilinearly; from 14:30 to 18:00, the temperature at all measurement points decreased curvilinearly; and from 18:30 to 24:00, the temperature at all measurements points decreased linearly. (2) The maximum temperature on sunny days in the greenhouse was higher than that on cloudy days and snowy days, but the maximum temperature on cloudy days and snowy days in the greenhouse occurred 3 h earlier than on sunny days. (3) The lowest average temperature of a sunken solar greenhouse over 3-6 months was 7.5℃, without heating. The research results provide theoretical and reference data on how the temperature changes in the interior of a solar greenhouse and inform about the three-dimensional planting height and ventilation times.
A sunken solar greenhouse has a good heat preservation environment. The influence of the general indoor temperature on the temperature of the roots was evaluated. A wireless sensor and U disk recorder were used to determine the indoor temperatures of a single section and multiple sections in a sunken solar greenhouse. Results showed that the rate of temperature change from in the vertical, horizontal and longitudinal sections in descending order at the opening moment and at the strong light moment. The temperatures in the single cross-section and multiple cross-sections were approximately equal during winter from 00:00 to 8:00 in the morning. These values can be used for calculating theoretically the heat loss in a greenhouse.
A sunken solar greenhouse is the original type of greenhouse in China, its soil wall thermal storage performance is better and low cost. Higher benefits of stereoscopic planting in sunken solar greenhouses, while repeated use of the substrate can produce pathogens, so high-temperature smothering is used for sterilization in the summer months of June to August. To investigate the mechanism of indoor temperature and humidity variation and fungicidal effect in a sunken solar greenhouse, a single cross-sectional test of temperature and humidity in sunken solar greenhouse during the smothering period was conducted using wireless sensors. The results showed that: The maximum value of indoor temperature at noon was 69.5°C the temperature value of all measurement points was greater than 50°C for 3h, when removing the measurement points at the upper surface of the ground, the relative humidity value of other measurement points was less than 60% for 5h. During the daytime period, when the indoor temperature is greater than 28°C in the interval 7:00-12:00, the initial relative humidity value of each measurement point is located at 70%-85%; when the weighted temperature of each measurement point starts to rise at a rate of 1.1°C/10min, the weighted humidity of each measurement point declining is 1.3%/10min; the determination of the rate of change of indoor temperature and humidity during the daytime and the starting value can provide a basis for indoor plants to take measures to sterilize at high temperature.
