La Société Canadienne de Génie Agroalimentaire et de Bioingénierie La société canadienne de génie agroalimentaire, de la bioingénierie et de l environnement Paper No Review of Dehumidification Technologies in Greenhouses Xiaowen Zhang Huiqing Guo Department of Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering, University of Saskatchewan Written for presentation at the CSBE/SCGAB 2008 Annual Conference North Vancouver, British Columbia July 13-16, 2008 Abstract: High relative humidity in greenhouses is a major problem in cold area such as Saskatchewan as it favors diseases and affects plant growth. This study reviewed different dehumidification technologies used in greenhouses. The commonly used method for dehumidification is increasing ventilation rate, which has a major drawback of causing heat loss from the greenhouse thus increasing the heating cost of the greenhouses in winter. Another problem is that under some warm, humid spring or fall weather, dehumidification by ventilation is not effective. It is recommended that two methods, the condensation by cold air or water and airto-air heat exchanger, may be best suited for greenhouses in cold season. Research is needed to evaluate these technologies in greenhouses in Saskatchewan.

2 Review of Dehumidification Technologies in Greenhouses X.W. Zhang and H. Guo Department of Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering, University of Saskatchewan, 57 Campus Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, S7N 5A9. INTRODUCTION Humidity control is very important for producing high quality crops in greenhouses (Zazueta and Pub 2002). For most plants, the suitable relative humidity (RH) level is from 50% to 85%. However, the RH in a greenhouse can easily be over 90% with low air exchange and low condensation taking place such as on double-glazing materials during cold season. High relative humidity levels may directly lead to poor crop yield and quality due to fungal diseases (Codarin 2006; Hanan 1998; Kittas and Bartzanas 2007), pests and predators habitat prevailing (Boulard et al. 2004), leaf necrosis, calcium deficiencies, and soft and thin leaves. New greenhouses tend to be better sealed and insulated in order to reduce the total energy consumption. However, condensation on the interior surface of the cover is low and the humidity can be very high so additional dehumidification becomes more important. Most greenhouse producers reduce moisture production by improving the method of irrigation and culturing media, etc. The normal procedure for removing excess moisture from greenhouses is by ventilation, but with this method the benefits of the better seal to reduce air infiltration are reduced. There are some other dehumidification technologies by absorption, condensation, or air-to-air heat exchanger (Seginer and Kantz 1989; Yanadori 1994), which imply not only the transport of water vapor and thereby latent heat but also the transport of sensible heat (Campen and Bot 2002). A dynamic model of water vapor exchange was developed to determine the sizes of the dehumidification system required by greenhouses and crops (Boulard et al. 1989). The objective of this literature review is to investigate various dehumidifying methods and identify potential effective and economical methods to be used in Canadian Prairies to control relative humidity during cold season such as spring, fall, and winter. DEHUMIDIFICATION METHODS IN GREENHOUSES Dehumidification by Ventilation The humid air in greenhouse is replaced by relatively dry outside air and the humidity ratio can be reduced through ventilation. There are two ways of dehumidification by ventilation, the first is through natural ventilation by opening the roof or side windows of a greenhouse. Simulation of energy consumption for natural ventilation to dehumidify greenhouses has been conducted under northern latitudes in Canada and the result showed that on-off dehumidification as simulated was not quite as effective as dehumidification by proportional ventilation (Halleux 1998). This method Papers presented before CSBE/SCGAB meetings are considered the property of the Society. In general, the Society reserves the right of first publication of such papers, in complete form; however, CSBE/SCGAB has no objections to publication, in condensed form, with credit to the Society and the author, in other publications prior to use in Society publications.

3 is easy to operate and can save large amount of initial cost and energy compared to forced ventilation. Since the air temperature should be maintained at optimum level in greenhouses (Elsner et al. 2000), the use of this method is only effective for reducing humidity ratio before closing down the greenhouse in the evening in mild seasons. The second is forced ventilation using fans together with windows as air inlets. When the natural ventilation can not work effectively, the forced ventilation system will activate, the fans will draw air outside into the greenhouse through the opening windows, to propel the vapor in greenhouse outside. This is a common practice to dehumidify a greenhouse in summer or tropic areas (Liang et al. 2006). However, the initial cost is high and temperature factors should be considered when reducing humidity. High ventilation will cause heat loss from the greenhouses and will result in higher heating requirement in cold season which may make it uneconomical (Bakker and De Zwart 1999; Wang and Mao 2005). Halleux and Gauthier (1998) conducted some simulations on energy consumption for different methods of dehumidification in greenhouses in Quebec. The results indicate that the energy consumption with on-off ventilation is 12.6% higher while proportional ventilation is 18.4% higher than without dehumidification. Hygroscopic Dehumidification Hygroscopic dehumification is realized by using moisture absorbing materials such as solid or liquid objects, because the installation is complicated and the use of highly concentrated chemical solutions for hygroscopic media is not favored in greenhouses, the related research is minimal. The advantage of this method is that the latent heat of moist greenhouse air can be absorbed directly in the process of dehumidification (Campen et al. 2003). The cooling and dehumidifying system shown in Figure 1 was design by Zhao et al. (2004) in China. High temperature and humidity air comes into dehumidification room from air entrance (6). The moisture in the air will absorbed by the moisture absorbing liquid (45% calcium chloride solution) sprayed from spray head (8), the dehumidified air then will be withdrawn into the greenhouse through a wet pad because of the vacuum pressure in the greenhouse created by the exhaust fans and the air is cooled by evaporation of water. The diluted moisture absorbance will go into the collection pool and be pumped to the treatment system to regain its design concentration and go through the circle again. The results of the experiment show that the humidity of the air was reduced from 80% to 50% (Zhao et al. 2004). This method is designed for dehumidifying high temperature and high humidity ambient air and then providing cooling for greenhouses. Dehumidification with a hygroscopic material has the advantage that latent heat is directly transformed into sensible heat, so hygroscopic dehumidification can preferably be used in periods with high greenhouse energy demand or in need of complex setup for active cooling of the absorption surface. However, the heat needed for regeneration of the material, energy cost for operation, the environmental risks and the complexity of the system make it less suitable for a practical application. This method is only suitable for high temperature and high humidity regions. It is not suitable to Saskatchewan greenhouses. 3

Condensation Dehumidifying Using Cold Surface When the moist air in the greenhouse meets objects with temperature lower than its dew point temperature, water vapor will condense to drips and be removed from the air. Therefore, dehumidification can be done by using a low temperature object in greenhouse, causing vapor condensation, and collecting the water and discharge the water out of greenhouse. An experimental dehumidifying system for greenhouses using cold water was tested in a Netherlands double-glazed greenhouse with cucumbers (Campen and Bot 2002) (Figure 2). The cooled steel pipes were finned for extending the condensation surface area and were set just under the gutter of the greenhouse. The condensation occurs on the cold surface of pipes and fins when humid air passes them by natural convection. The experimental results shows that one meter finned pipes at a temperature of 5 C can remove 54 g of vapor per hour from air at a temperature of 20 C and 80% relative humidity. When ventilation rate is reduced, the whole system removes 40 g of moisture per hour per square meter of the greenhouse floor area in heating season. Meanwhile, the heat transferred by condensation at the cold surface is less than one-third of the total heat removed by the system under the same condition (Campen and Bot 2002). Figure 2. Condensation dehumidifying using cold water (Campen and Bot 2002) 4
5 This system is easy to setup and easy to operate and maintain but the initial cost is relatively high.. It only needs to pump cold water in the pipe, so it is an energy-saving method. The device does not affect the cultivation on ground. It is suitable for high humidity greenhouses in heating season. Researchers from Oman developed two condensers of 0.9 m by 0.9 m with tube-and-fin crossflow used in a humidification-dehumidification system of a plastic greenhouse to test the possibility of reducing the air temperature below its dew-point and to make the water vapor condensed and reuse the water for irrigation (Perret et al. 2005). These condensers using cold water as coolant comprised three rows of brass tubes connected with copper fins. A movable frame was used to allow different configurations of condenser to be mounted on it. Two humidifiers made from two layers of evaporative cooling pads were used to increase water vapor inside the greenhouse. Then the high relative humidity air vapor with low temperature will pass through the condenser. Since the temperature of the condensers was always lower than the dewpoint temperature of air passing through them, this lead to condensation of water vapor on the condensers. This device can easily be manufactured in long units placed on the ground. However, experiment showed the condensation was insufficient in quantity and improvements of condenser design are suggested (Perret et al. 2005). Scientists in Germany and Jordan developed a similar device used for seawater greenhouse desalination in dry areas (Dawoud et al. 2006), through humidification-dehumidification system to produce fresh water used in greenhouse while maintaining suitable environment for crop growth in hot coastal regions, the system is complex and costly and consumes large amount of electricity energy, so it is not suitable for Saskatchewan, but some design idea about dehumidification may be learned from it. Heat Exchanger Heat exchanger has long been recognized as an effective means of transferring heat from one fluid or air to another media. It has been used in areas of industry, agriculture due to advantages such as compact heat exchange, greater transfer efficiency, flexible design, low maintenance, and low operation cost (Rosaler 2004). Heat transfer can occur in a heat exchanger when a fluid changes from a liquid to a vapor (evaporator), a vapor to a liquid (condenser), or when two fluids transfer heat without a phase change. The transfer of energy is caused by a temperature difference. In most HVAC applications, heat exchangers are selected to transfer either sensible or latent heat. Sensible heat applications involve the transfer of heat from one liquid to another. Latent heat transfer results in a phase change of one of the liquids; transferring heat to a liquid by condensing steam is a common example (Ashrae 2000; Mcquiston et al. 2000). In greenhouses, heat exchangers can be used to recover heat from the exhaust air and to preheat the incoming fresh air in order to reduce the heating cost. The Netherlands researchers designed two kinds of dehumidifying devices considering lowenergy consumption based on a combination of three heat exchangers: a cold section for condensation, a heat recovery unit between air inlet and cold air and a hot section for heating (Campen and Bot 2001). A CFD model was used to analyze and calculate the performance of these devices. Each device comprised a cold plate with temperature of 5.5 C and a hot plate with temperature of 65 C, baffles, cold pipe, hot pipe, and heat recovery unit. The first device was designed with vertical geometry based on the chimney effect, the cold surface was at a low 5
6 position relative to the air inlet and the hot surface at a high position relative to the cold surface, air circulation is driven by the temperature differences and heat is recovered from the entering warm air to the cooled air. Experiment shows that 4-7% energy can be saved in a traditional single glass greenhouse comparing with dehumidifying by ventilation. The savings are expected to be much higher for greenhouses with good insulation condition. The second prototype was optimized by changing dimensions and positions of plate base on the first design, the cold and warm plates were placed in same height and the heat recovery unit was horizontally placed in greenhouse to avoid a stagnant zone, thus it has higher heat transfer efficiency than first design (Campen and Bot 2001). The advantage is that no fan power is needed for air circulation and mainly latent heat is absorbed from the inlet air. Moreover, this device can easily be manufactured in long units, which can be distributed in the greenhouse in the same way as a pipe heating system to ensure a homogeneous greenhouse climate, however the initial cost is high. A novel ventilation type dehumidifier in Japan was designed compared to conventional dehumidifier with a compressor (Yanadori et al. 1994). It comprised of an evaporator, a condenser, a vapor passage pipe, a liquid return pipe with an inverted U-shaped portion. Experiments of dehumidification and heat recovery were conducted in a 21 m 2 greenhouse covered with vinyl sheet. It is found this new dehumidifier with a heat-flow controllable heat exchanger is simpler and needs less power input due to the fact that it has a thermal switch mechanism without mechanically moving parts. The humidity in the greenhouse can reduce 15-20% without lowering the temperature by using the present device (Yanadori et al. 1994). However, its structure is complex compared with other devices and it needs much higher operating energy due to the two fans it uses. Researchers of Cornell University fabricated an air-liquid-air heat exchanger by joining two airliquid heat exchangers together and tested for greenhouse humidity control. They concluded that about one-third of the enthalpy could be recovered from the ventilation air meanwhile the humidity can also be reduced (Albright and Behler 1984). A dynamic model of water vapor exchange was developed by researchers from France and the experiment was done in a 400 m 2 inflated roof plastic greenhouse The results showed that the air to air dehumidification heat pump did not reduce the air humidity significantly, but avoided almost completely the water condensation on the roof and eliminated the dripping of water on to the crops (Boulard et al. 1989). In summary, dehumidification by heat exchangers seems promising for using in cold season in Saskatchewan. The distinct advantage is the incoming fresh air will recover some of the heat from the exhaust air, which reduces supplemental heating requirement while dehumidifying taking place and also the operating and maintenance costs are relatively low. The shortcoming is the initial cost is relatively high. CONCLUSION Low-energy requirement greenhouses are well sealed and insulated, which will cause high humidity level in the greenhouses that is harmful to plants growing in greenhouses. Thus, effective dehumidification is important for these greenhouses. 6
7 Dehumidification by ventilation is the common method used in summer or hot areas (Kittas and Bartzanas 2007), but it has a major drawback of causing heat loss from the greenhouse thus increasing the already high heating cost of the greenhouses in cold season. Another problem is that under warm and humid spring or fall weather, dehumidification by ventilation is not effective. Dehumidification with a hygroscopic material has the advantage that latent heat is directly transformed into sensible heat, however, the heat needed for regeneration of the material, the environmental risks and the complexity of the system make it less suitable for a practical application. Condensation dehumidifying using cold water or cold surface is an energy saving method and suitable for high humidity greenhouses, but the equipment capital cost is high. Many researchers verified using heat exchanger in greenhouse not only reduce the relative humidity but also save energy than other methods, the device is easy to install and maintain and the better effects can be reached when it works together with forced ventilation. The winter is long and cold in Saskatchewan. The first choice for dehumification in greenhouse would be using air-to-aire heat exchanger due to its effectiveness, ease of operating and control, and low energy consumption. The second choice would be dehumidification using cold surface of metal pipes (finned or not finned) or plastic pipes with media of either cold air or water. This method uses simple equipment, easy to setup and control, economical, low energy consumption. Research is needed to evaluate these two technologies in greenhouses in Saskatchewan. REFERENCES 1.
