1. Greenhouse Management

2.  List the different types of heating systems used in a greenhouse.  Describe the advantages and disadvantages of each type of heating system.  Define terms associated with greenhouse heating systems.

3.  Forced-air heaters  Infrared radiant heaters  Hot water heat  Steam heat  Greenhouse effect  Solar energy

4.  Too much in the summer, not enough in the winter.  Greenhouse effect- the way in which a greenhouse collects and stores heat from the sun.  Radiant energy warms up the plants, soil, and other objects.

5.  Why is type of fuel important?  Cost of energy  Wood  Electricity  Coal  Gas

6.  Hot water heating system  Water is heated in a boiler and pumped through pipes  Effective when there is a number of small compartments to be heated to different temperatures  2 different types: gravity flow return system & motorized accelerated systems  Steam heating system  Water heated to a boil and steam runs through the pipes  Closed circuit system

7.  Hot air furnaces  Centrally located with air deflectors  Infrared radiant heating system  Gas-fired burners heat air that is distributed through pipes to the plants  Forced-air heaters  Localized heater units that force hot air directly into a duct system  Uses combination of electricity and propane

8.  List the different types of heating systems used in a greenhouse.  Describe the advantages and disadvantages of each type of heating system.  Define terms associated with greenhouse heating systems.

9.  What is the greenhouse effect?  What types of heating systems are used in glass greenhouses?  What are the types of heating systems used in plastic greenhouses?
