Свайная опора для теплицы

Номер: RU0000195666U1

Полезная модель относится к сельскому хозяйству и может быть использована для строительства парников и теплиц, относящихся к садоводству и огородничеству, а также для строительства легких сооружений, относящихся к другим областям хозяйственной деятельности. Свайная опора для теплицы содержит ствол с первым участком для монтажа каркасных элементов и с якорным элементом для установки в грунт на втором участке. Ствол выполнен из удлиненного полого прямоугольного профиля с первым участком, превышающим длину второго участка. Якорный элемент выполнен в виде отрезка прямоугольного полого профиля, симметрично приваренного в верхней половине второго участка угловыми сварочными швами с длиной катета, составляющей от половины минимальной толщины стенки якорного элемента до минимальной толщины стенки якорного элемента. Первый участок снабжен направляющим коробчатым фиксатором с установочной полостью под торцовые выступы каркасных элементов, который приварен к торцу ствола угловыми сварочными швами с длиной катета, не превышающей минимальной толщины стенки ствола. Противоположная стволу наружная поверхность торцового полого направляющего фиксатора и наружная поверхность якорного элемента, ориентированная к направляющему фиксатору, выполнены в виде параллельных друг другу поверхностей для забивания ствола в грунт. Технический результат - повышенная жесткость свайной опоры, обеспечивающая ее забивание в грунт точно по разметке, соответствующей плану сооружения.

Convective Transfer of Heat from an Unventilated Greenhouse to the Outside Air

Номер: US20210076576A1
Автор: Zapalac George Henry
Принадлежит:

An unventilated greenhouse is cooled during the day by transferring most of the solar energy entering the greenhouse into one or more large reservoirs of water using a droplet dispensing system. Cool reservoir water is pumped from the reservoirs into the droplet dispensing system above the reservoirs. As the droplets fall back into the reservoirs they exchange heat and water vapor with the greenhouse air, gradually warming the reservoir water during the day. During the night and morning the reservoirs are cooled for the next day by enclosing the reservoirs and droplet dispensing system so that the air above the reservoirs is isolated from the air in the remainder of the greenhouse. With the droplets activated the air enclosed above the reservoirs is circulated through banks of tubes outside the greenhouse building that serve as heat exchangers. Heat is transferred from the warm droplets to the cool air above the reservoirs, cooling the reservoirs and saturating the air. The saturated air above the reservoirs transfers heat to the cool outside air as it circulates through the heat exchangers. 1. A method and apparatus for transferring heat entering a building to the outside air , the apparatus comprising:a. at least one reservoir of water, disposed within the building or within an associated structure that freely exchanges its air with the air of said building;b. at least one droplet dispenser, wherein water provided by the at least one reservoir to the at least one droplet dispenser is converted into droplets by the at least one droplet dispenser and then returned to the at least one reservoir;c. at least one heat exchanger, disposed outside of the building, further comprising a multitude of tubes in contact with the outside air or with water outside of the building, wherein air from the building enters the tubes of the at least one heat exchanger at an inlet port in the building, and wherein air exits the tubes of the at least one heat exchanger and re-enters the ...
