Experimental hot-water heating system was consisted of power supply equipment, a hot water storage tank, circulating pump, fan coil unit and a plastic flexible hose. This heating system was manufactured by an electric heater of a power capacity 6kw/h and light-oil hot air heater in control the heating capacity was 5,000kcal/h. As the result, temperature difference due to hot-water heating system and hot air heater in greenhouse showed that air temperature at experimental greenhouse, and comparison greenhouse were 14.8℃, 13.4℃ respectively. It was found that root-zone temperature of experimental plot and control were 22℃, 15℃. Root-zone temperature in the experimental plot was 7℃ higher than that in control. The inlet-outlet water temperature difference of 2℃ and 3℃ corresponded to the difference of the heat exchange of about 3,132kcal/h, 4,916kcal/h, the heat exchange effciency ranged from 54~88% generally. Under the experimental condition, equation heat change(Y) and correlation could be represented as follows : Y = -282.92ｘ2 + 2963.9ｘ -1688.6, R2 = 0.9081. it is suggested to applicate energy of root-zone warming system where energy from the groundwater is extracted and transferred to the water

본 연구는 길이 15 m, 폭 5.6 m, 동고 2.9 m인 단동 비닐 온실 2동을 대상으로 실험구와 대조구로 나누어 실시하였다. 시스템은 전기히터를 이용한 온수가온기로서 온수저장조와 순환펌프, 팬코일유닛으로 구성하였다. 폐회로시스템의 온수배관을 통하여 온수가 순환되도록 하였으며 팬코일유닛을 통해 온실내부를 난방 하도록 하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 실험기간 동안 순환유량은 26L/min 정도의 범위에 있었고, 평균유속은 2.0m/s 정도였다. 유출입수의 평균 온도차는 60±2℃ 이었다. 근권부 온도를 측정한 결과 처리구에는 22℃, 대조구에서는 15℃로 나타나 처리구 근권부 온도가 약 7℃ 높게 유지되었다. 입출구 온도차에 따른 열교환량은 온도차가 2℃일 경우 시간당 열교환량은 3,132kcal이고, 3.4℃일 경우 4,916kcal로서 열교환방정식은 y=-282.92X2+2963.9X-1688.6, R2=0.9081로 상관관계가 매우 높은 것으로 나타났으며 열교환효율은 54~88%로 온도차가 클수록 열교환효율은 높게 나타났다.
