How to ventilate the greenhouse?

With the continuous advancement of agricultural technology, agricultural production is increasingly relying on facility agriculture. As a crucial infrastructure for modern agriculture, greenhouses effectively protect against harsh climates and ensure stable crop production. However, in practice, temperature and humidity control within greenhouses, particularly ventilation, becomes a key factor influencing crop yield and quality.

Climatic Factors Determine Ventilation Needs

Climatic conditions vary significantly across regions. In hot, dry areas, greenhouses are prone to heat stress, requiring rapid cooling through large-scale ventilation. In humid, rainy regions, excessive humidity can foster disease, requiring enhanced air flow to improve the environment. Therefore, greenhouse ventilation system design must be tailored to local conditions, tailored to local temperature, humidity, wind direction, and seasonal variations.

Greenhouse Structure Affects Ventilation

The type and structure of a greenhouse determine its ventilation efficiency. Traditional arched greenhouses often utilize a combination of top ventilation windows and side vents to promote convection, while multi-span greenhouses utilize large rooftop skylights and forced-air fans for rapid air exchange. A sound structural design not only affects air circulation efficiency but also overall energy consumption and greenhouse stability.

• Glass greenhouse roof window ventilation

• Mechanical ventilation with hanging fans inside the greenhouse

Systematic Solutions Enhance Climate Control Capabilities

Modern greenhouses no longer rely solely on natural ventilation. Instead, they integrate a variety of methods, including mechanical ventilation, wet curtain cooling, and automatic control systems, to form a comprehensive climate control solution. The addition of sensors and intelligent control technology enables ventilation to automatically activate or adjust based on real-time monitoring data, ensuring the optimal environment for crop growth.
