Abstract:The increase in ambient temperature decreases crop yields. Therefore, greenhouse cooling techniques can be considered adaptation strategies to climate change. To improve the efficiency of crop production, semi-closed greenhouses are utilized, which reduce the mass and energy transfer from the greenhouse. Frequently, these types of structures include an evaporative panel and a distribution system through perforated inflated ducts. To further improve the management of this type of installation, the present work … Show more
