The effect of root-zone local cooling on seedling growth of tomato was investigated. Lower pipe cooling was used for local cooling of the root zone, and the root zone temperature was set at 20 and 25℃. There was no difference in plant height, root length, and leaf number according to local cooling temperature. Leaf area, fresh weight, dry weight, and chlorophyll content of the shoot and root was higher in the 25℃ than those of 20℃ at 28 DAS. These results showed that cooling for seedling growth of tomato 25℃ is sufficient considering energy efficiency. This study will be helpful in the development of local cooling technology that can reduce the energy required for cooling during the production of tomato seedlings in the high temperature season.

This paper discusses the development of the wearable personal cooling system for reducing thermal stress in hot environment. The personal cooling system is operated with the compact refrigeration system by compressing refrigerant. The compact refrigeration system is applied with the miniaturization and weight reduction for portable and wearable cooling system. The body heat is reduced by heat conduction with evaporator in direct cooling type. The cooling capacity of the wearable personal cooling system is approximately 100W and, the system could maintain the inside temperature of approximately 12-$13^{\circ}C$ lower than the ambient temperature. The weight of the wearable cooling system is about 3kg including vest, case, battery and all parts.

This study was conducted to provide a basis for raising farm income by increasing the yield and extending the cultivation period by creating an environment where crops can be cultivated normally during high temperatures in summer. The maximum cooling load of the multi-span greenhouse with a floor area of 504 ㎡ was found to be 462,609 W, and keeping the greenhouse under 32℃ without shading the greenhouse at a high temperature, it was necessary to fog spray 471.6 L of water per hour. The automatic fog cooling control device was developed to effectively control the fog device, the flow fan, and the light blocking device constituting the fog cooling system. The fog cooling system showed that the temperature of the greenhouse could be lowered by 6℃ than the outside temperature. The relative humidity of the fog-cooled greenhouse was 40-80% during the day, about 20% higher than that of the control greenhouse, and this increase in relative humidity contributed to the growth of cucumbers. The relative humidity of the fog cooling greenhouse during the day was 40-80%, which was about 20% higher than that of the control greenhouse, and this increase in relative humidity contributed to the growth of cucumbers. The yield of cucumbers in the fog-cooled greenhouse was 1.8 times higher in the single-span greenhouse and two times higher in the multi-span greenhouse compared to the control greenhouse.

In this study, experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of high- temperature stress on paprika in a semi-closed greenhouse where cooling is available and a normal plastic greenhouse. Paprika grown in a semi-closed greenhouse in which geothermal cooling is provided showed a significantly higher speed of photosynthesis than paprika grown in a 3-layer plastic greenhouse in which there is no cooling system. It suggests that the photosynthesis speed of paprika in a plastic house decreases owing to high temperature stress. Plant height increased by 13cm more in the semi-closed greenhouse, and the size of leaf showed similar growth speed until the 2nd week after transplanting, however, after 3 weeks, the semi-closed greenhouse showed a big difference by 47% compared with the plastic greenhouse. In terms of the fruit count, the semi-closed greenhouse had 10.6 fruits/plant and the plastic greenhouse had 4.6 fruits/plant, indicating that the semi-closed greenhouse had a higher number of fruits by 130% than the plastic greenhouse. The fruit weight also presented a difference between the semi-closed greenhouse and the plastic greenhouse by 46%, which is 566.7g/plant and 387g/plant, respectively. According to the above mentioned results, it was validated that when paprika is cultivated in a semi-closed greenhouse where a cooling system is applied, photosynthesis and growth were better than in the normal plastic greenhouse. Thus, if the hot summer season is overcome by applying the elemental technologies for the cooling system to the normal plastic greenhouse, farm income may increase through improvement in the yield and quality.

시설원예는 노지원예와 달리 인위적인 환경조절을 통하여 주년안정생산이 가능하여야 하고 단위면적당 생산성을 증대시키면서 품질향상을 극대화시키는 것이 생산의 목표이다. 따라서, 주년안정생산을 위하여 고온기에 작물생산이 가능하도록 시설내 고온환경을 조절해야할 것이다. 고온환경을 조절하기 위한 냉방방식에는 자연환기 및 팬을 이용한 온실내부의 공기를 치환하는 방법, 온실내ㆍ외부에 차광망을 설치하여 온실내로 유입되는 일사량의 일부를 차단하는 방법, 수분증발을 통하여 온실내부의 잠열을 빼앗는 증발냉각방식, 히트펌프나 에어컨을 이용한 기계적인 방법이 이용되고 있다.

여름철 더운환경과 냉방환경에서 안감소재별 6종의 원피스 드레스의 주관적 착용감을 평가한 결과, 안감소재에 따라 원피스 드레스의 주관적 착용감은 유의한 차이를 나타내어 고온환경에서는 레이온 안감이, 냉방환경에서는 아세테이트 안감의 착용감이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 여름철 환경에서는 의복기후보다 주관적 착용감이 쾌적감에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 요인을 나타났다.

시설농업이 상업화되면서 점차 생산시설의 단지화, 대형화 추세가 두드러지고 있으며, 특히 시설농업의 현대화로 고정화, 자동화가 이루어지면서 주년생산을 위한 년중재배체계가 도입되고 있다. 이러한 안정적인 주년생산을 위해서는 우선적으로 해결되어야 할 과제 중 하나가 여름철의 온실 환경관리중 고온극복이다. 하지만 온실내의 미기상중에서 온도를 최소로 유지하는 냉방이 보온보다 어려운 실정이다. (중략)

최근에 CFD 시뮬레이션을 이용한 온실의 공기유동을 해석하려는 시도들이 많이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 아직 열환경까지를 해석하려는 경우는 드물다. 그러나 여름철의 고온극복을 위해 많은 냉방시스템이 연구되고 있는데 이러한 것들의 이용에 있어서 CFD 시뮬레이션을 이용한 열환경 해석은 중요한 의미를 가질 것이다. 그리고 여러 가지 냉방시스템들 중에서 포그시스템이 효율, 경제적 측면에서 유리하다고 알려져 있다. (중략)

우리나라의 시설재배는 비가림 형태에서 많은 자본과 기술이 투자된 현대화 고정시설로 발전해가고 있으며 면적도 증가하고 있다. 시설의 활용면에서는 주로 동절기에 집중되어 있고, 하절기에는 최고기온이 3$0^{\circ}C$ 이상되는 날이 2-3개월 정도로 시설내 작물재배는 거의 불가능한 실정이다. 따라서 하절기에는 대부분 휴작함으로서 시설의 주년이용에 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. (중략)

우리나라의 기후 특성상 여름철에는 온실내 기온과 지온이 과다하게 상승하여 정상적인 작물 생육을 기대하기 어렵다. 이러한 고온현상을 극복하기 위해 우리나라 시설원예 농가에서는 소극적이면서 비용이 적게 드는 흑색 차광망이나 자연환기를 주로 이용하고 있으며 냉방 효과가 적어 문제가 되고 있다. 근래 온실 냉방에 대한 중요성을 인식하고 증발냉각시스템을 도입하는 시설원예농가가 증가하고 있으나 기술적인 측면에서 아직 많은 문제점들이 남아있는 실정이다. (중략)
