Abstract
To reduce high indoor temperatures in glass greenhouses during summer, a dynamic nanofluid spectral splitter (DNSS) roof was designed. This system uses a nanofluid that absorbs heat, which is collected by an external circulation device. It helps cool the greenhouse and utilize solar heat. A stable CWO@TiO2 composite nanofluid with a 50 ppm concentration was prepared, showing a near-infrared shielding rate of 77.08 % and a visible light transmittance of 62.41 %. The DNSS roof system, with three different thicknesses, was tested for thermal insulation and heat collection. Compared to a 10 mm air roof, the 10 mm DNSS roof achieved a cooling effect of 16.90 °C and a heat collection rate of 732 W/m2. The average temperature drop for the 5 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm thick roofs was 8.27 °C, 11.24 °C, and 9.27 °C, with daily heat gains of 81.48 MJ, 95.66 MJ, and 97.33 MJ, respectively. The 10 mm single-slope DNSS roof had a solar heat conversion rate of 46.1 %. This cost-effective roof system provides insights for addressing high temperatures in glass greenhouses.
