DEVELOPMENT AND PARAMETER JUSTIFICATION OF A COMBINED PYROLYSIS-BASED GREENHOUSE HEATING SYSTEM

Abstract. Introduction. The high cost of agricultural products grown in modern greenhouse complexes is primarily associated with the significant share of energy consumption. Therefore, the development of energy-efficient greenhouse systems based on the effective use of alternative energy sources is an important scientific and technical task. Methods and Materials. In this study, experimental and thermodynamic analysis methods were employed to develop a combined pyrolysis-based greenhouse heating system. Results. As a result of the research, a combined pyrolysis-based greenhouse heating system was developed, and its parameters were substantiated. The proposed system enables biomass drying, production of pyrogas, liquid fuel, and biochar through the pyrolysis process, as well as the utilization of secondary heat from flue gases. Conclusion. The proposed combined pyrolysis-based greenhouse heating system improves energy efficiency, reduces heat losses, and enables the production of alternative fuels. This system is of great importance for ensuring stable heat supply to greenhouses, utilizing local resources, and implementing environmentally friendly technologies.
