Matlab Based Design Software for Greenhouse Evaporative Co..
نویسنده
چکیده
Pad and fan cooling systems are the most popular evaporative cooling system, especially in the floral industry of tropical and subtropical regions. Microsoft Windows based software written in MATLAB was developed as a teaching/research tool for designing pad and fan systems. This software incorporates information for 4 models of commonly used evaporative cooling pad, fan curves for 9 models of fans and 3 styles of greenhouse roof. There is a choice among 3 ventilation system design algorithms. The software output includes working condition of pad and fan system, flow rate requirement of pump, capacity of sump and amount of makeup water required. The software also provides the capability of visualizing the design layout in 3D with the capabilities of zoom in/out and 3D rotation of the designed layout.
