Physical Properties of Row Covers
-Transmissivity of Solar Radiation, Air Change Rate and Heat Loss Coefficient-

Qingyun CHEN, Yoshiyasu AIHARA, Masumi OKADA and Yui HUANG

Summary

    Transmissivities of solar radiation, air change rates and heat loss coefficients of five types of row covers were measured. Transmissivities of solar radiation were almost the same within 0-40 deg of incident angle, but dropped over 40 deg. Airchange rates were linearly increased with increase of porosities of row covers. Heat loss coefficients were increased with an exponential function of wind speed as well as porosities.
