Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Insect-proof Screens and Roof Openings on Greenhouse Ventilation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined and modeled the air exchange rate of greenhouses with insect-proof screens over the vents and found that the reduction in the discharge coefficient when an insectproof screen is incorporated, compared with the measured air exchange values, was found that vents located in lateral spans have a higher discharge coefficient than those located in central spans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of insect-proof screens in roof openings on greenhouse microclimate.
TL;DR: In this article, experimental data from a wind tunnel, was used to compare three available methods to predict the pressure drop through screens, and the advantages and drawbacks of each method were discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of an insect screen on greenhouse ventilation
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of an insect screen on ventilation rate was experimentally investigated in a multispan glass-covered greenhouse equipped with a continuous roof vent, located at the University of Thessaly near Volos in the coastal area of southeastern Greece.
