Traditional solar greenhouse wall combines the functions of heat preservation and heating. It cannot accommodate both heat storage and insulation that the heat stored in the wall is uncontrollably lost as the temperature difference between the interior and exterior increases.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that the greenhouse north wall functions as a thermal absorber during the daytime, effectively capturing both solar radiation and the air convective heat, and subsequently releasing the heat back into the air when the indoor air temperature is lower than that of the inner wall surface [6, 7].
When the indoor air temperature of the solar greenhouse drops at nighttime, the proposed wall and the ordinary wall conduct stored energy back to the inner surface, which then transfers heat from the inner surface of the wall to the indoor environment through heat convection and heat radiation.
During the daytime, the heat preservation quilt is removed; thus, solar radiation energy can enter the greenhouse through polyethylene vinyl acetate film and irradiate the inner surface of north wall directly, causing a significant increase in north wall temperature, which can significantly increase the heat storage of north wall.
Therefore, the thermal performance of solar greenhouse walls relies on composition and thickness. The proposal for appropriate wall designs has been extensively investigated through the modification of materials and structural forms, employing numerical simulation and field testing [, , , ]. Fig. 2.
In this study, we proposed a novel wall design concept for solar greenhouse overwinter cultivation, incorporating the independent insulation composite wall and the solar water heating system. The thermal resistance of the novel composite wall was also assessed based on the energy balance process in a solar greenhouse.
