In this paper, a low-speed wind tunnel was used for experimental analysis of water volume retained, pressure drop, saturation efficiency and water consumption for three types of synthetic substrates used in active living walls: polyester (PR), polyurethane (PU) and polyamideepolypropylene (PAePP) The substrates were of a similar thickness and...

Evaporative cooling systems are a widely used technique in Mediterranean greenhouses. In this study, the cellulose evaporative cooling pads most commonly used in this region were tested in the laboratory using a new methodology in a wind tunnel to determine the water flow on the pad and air flow through it, as well as the water consumption and...

El principal método para disminuir la temperatura interior de los invernaderos es la ventilación asociada con el sombreo, pero hay muchas situaciones en las que esta asociación de sistemas no es suficiente para garantizar una bajada significativa.En estas circunstancias se recurre a la refrigeración por evaporación de agua, cuyos mayores...
