Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to agrometeorological hazard monitoring with control field and in particular to the technology of simulating plant frosting environment,
The present invention provides a kind of apparatus and method for the test of plant frost damage.
Background technology
Frost is one of big disaster of China four, and research plant Frost mechanism, to reducing frost damage, improves crop yield tool
Significant, be susceptible to radial pattern frost in the time in early spring, plant leaf blade often has frosting on surface, be commonly called as bloom or
Radiation frost, bloom can accelerate the speed of plant leaf blade inner cell rupture, is therefore unfavorable for the protection of plant frost, therefore studies white
The generation of frost is significant for plant frost protection.Frosting mostly occurs at sunny calm night, plant except with sky
Outside gas heat convection, also distribute heat to air, so its body temperature is obvious more low than temperature, when leaf temperature is less than surrounding air
Frost point when, in the air steam will condense on blade, it can therefore be seen that blade frosting is main and leaf temperature, around
Air themperature, relative air humidity and surrounding flow velocity magnitude are relevant.
Be limited to that the field test cycle is longer, uncertain factor is many, seasonal substantially, and be subject to regional limitation, therefore at present
Simulating frost environment, its principle is by strong convection refrigeration principle to conventional growth cabinet, and that is, air channel inner blower is by hot-air
Suck in air channel, so that air is cooled down by vaporizer heat convection, then so that cold air is blown in casing by blower fan, due to this dress
Put cool principle significantly different with plant frost Formation Mechanism, can not be therefore plant frosting.
The requirement of plant leaf blade surface frosting is less than the frost point of surrounding air for plant leaf temperature, therefore can lead to
The principle of overshoot refrigeration is realized, and domestic Authorization Notice No. is " anti-condensation device of radiation cooling ceiling " of cn 2513043y
Patent document describe a kind of radiation cooling ceiling anti-condensation device, in ceiling surface, one or more layers is set to indoor thing
Body radiation light-wave has the insolated layer materials of high transmittance, formed between material and between ceiling surface with room air every
The gas leaving or vacuum interlayer, can prevent ceiling surface condensation and form down current, shortcoming is frost ambient temperature
Much lower with respect to indoor architecture environment temperature, the thermal resistance of air blanketing can not prevent condensation or the frosting of thin film sandwich.
The superfine artificial research finned tube evaporator frosting performance of sieve, establishes frosting performance test stand, in worst cold case
Under, research is carried out to the evaporimeter frosting process of a small-sized indirect-cooling refrigerating plant it is contemplated that relative air humidity, air stream
Speed, the impact to performance of evaporator such as refrigerant flow, but its object of study vaporizer is actively to lower the temperature, live plant (5) leaf
Piece is then because radiation heat transfer is passive cooling, so frosting environment is different, so this device is not particularly suited for plant frosting.
U.S.'s registration number is that the patent of h229 proposes a kind of device that can realize sample frosting, and this device passes through one
Reconcile case and air themperature and humidity are modulated setting value, be passed in the proof box being placed with sample, be then turned on case top
The long wave of vaporizer absorption plant transmitting, but its easy frosting of case top vaporizer, refrigerating efficiency substantially reduces, the control of humidity
More complicated, and in casing, do not consider the control of wind speed.
Australian h.marellous devises a kind of device realizing plant frosting, makes Air Temperature in case by convection current
Degree and plant leaf temperature are reduced to setting value, then open the vaporizer of casing top, constantly absorb plant leaf blade transmitting
Long wave energy leads to plant leaf temperature to reduce, and has isolated radiation refrigeration by bilayer film and has freezed with convection current, air humidity
Control is by placing mixture of ice and water in casing, but the design of bilayer film reduces the long wave transmittance of device, thus
Radiation heat transfer efficiency is made to reduce, the humidity that on the other hand this mixture of ice and water produces is uncontrollable, causes casing wall frosting and shadow
Ring heat-transfer effect, thus causing energy waste.
In prior art, do not simulate the device of wind speed, the relative air humidity in casing is uncontrollable, therefore affect frosting
Control parameter incomplete or unadjustable, and participate in the inefficient of the refrigerating evaporator of radiation heat transfer, cause simultaneously
The waste of the energy.
