In the spring season and in summer, grow cultures in a greenhouse, without equipping the design with an artificial source of heating. But with the arrangement of the winter greenhouse, this is not enough. To extend its useful and extract from this maximum benefit, it is necessary to provide a heating system. Let's find out what heating can be organized in the greenhouse.
Solar heating. This method was obtained the greatest spread, and probably every greenhouse owner tried it, as it is the cheapest way and does not require the purchase of special equipment. The greenhouse is placed on a warm place, covered by ordinary glass. However, remember that the method is not suitable in the construction of winter greenhouses, since at night there will be air temperature and soil, reflecting on the growth of greenhouse plants. In this case, it is used by its combination with more efficient ways. Biological heating. The greenhouse is heated due to the fact that organic substances decomposition occurs than any microorganisms are engaged. This method fully provides warmth of culture throughout the growing season. In addition, plants receive carbon dioxide, which is formed inside the design. The soil is well moistened, since evaporation occurs, which helps to reduce the amount of irrigation. For example, such heating can be organized using horse manure. Electric heating. These systems are effective and convenient. The technique consists in using a variety of equipment - heat guns, electrical cable, convectors, special mats. Sometimes systems provide sensors and modes to facilitate and increase the efficiency of their work.Instruments that are used in electrical heating:
- Convectors. They are equipped with heating spirals, due to which the greenhouse is uniformized. However, the soil warms unevenly.
- Calorifers. Portable heat fans are responsible for the uniform distribution of warm air, they are inherent in compactness and democratic cost, support the ability to customize the necessary microclimate in the greenhouse. The lack of the apparatus is that he dries air.
- Cable heating. A similar method of heating the greenhouse is considered economical and at the same time effective. In the ground or greenhouse walls, the cable or tape is laid, pre-picking the temperature regime to avoid overheating of the root system.
When choosing a heat heating system, take into account its type, since not every method is suitable for a certain design of the greenhouse. Let's say, for film greenhouses need to organize more serious heating, because this material is not able to keep warm well, and the greenhouse from polycarbonate does not require serious heating.
