Experimental and theoretical analyses were carried out to investigate the heat exchange characteristics of the nutrient solution cooling system utilizing ground water. The material of heat exchanger used in the experiment was polyethylene and the cross-flow type was adapted in which nutrient solution was mixed and ground water unmixed. For the exchanger surface area of 0.33m2 and flow rates of ground water of 1-6l/min, NTU(number of transfer units) and effectiveness of experimental heat exchanger were 0.1-0.45 and 10-35％, respectively. Therefore these results showed that the hydroponic greenhouse of 1,000m2(300 pyong) with the ground water of 10m2/day could cover about 55-70％ of maximum cooling load in summer.
