Installation of Greenhouse Drip Irrigation Systems
Release Date:
2019-10-24
Greenhouse drip irrigation offers numerous advantages, including reduced humidity, increased soil temperature, water conservation, labor savings, high efficiency, and yield increases. However, during operation, drip irrigation systems in greenhouses often experience problems such as emitter damage, clogging of drip holes, uneven water distribution, and low flow rates. To prevent these issues, users should pay attention to the following points: 1. Select appropriate drip irrigation equipment: a. Based on calculations or design specifications, choose a suitable pump; determine the optimal diameter and length of the supply piping through calculation to achieve high uniformity; and use plastic pipe materials with excellent aging resistance for the supply lines. b. Emitters are critical components; select emitters that provide uniform discharge and are resistant to clogging.
Greenhouse drip irrigation offers numerous advantages, including reduced humidity, increased soil temperature, water conservation, labor savings, high efficiency, and yield increases. However, during operation, drip irrigation systems in greenhouses often experience problems such as emitter damage, clogging of drip holes, uneven water distribution, and low flow rates. To prevent these issues, users should pay attention to the following points:
I. Selecting Appropriate Drip Irrigation Equipment:
1. Select an appropriate water pump through calculation or in accordance with design requirements. ; Calculate and design appropriate water supply pipe diameters and lengths to achieve high uniformity. ; Plastic piping with aging-resistant properties shall be selected for water supply pipelines.
2. The emitter is a critical component; select an emitter that delivers uniform water distribution, exhibits strong resistance to clogging, and is easy to install and operate.
3. The selected filter shall be 120 Day or 150 days, and also boasts advantages such as corrosion resistance and easy rinsing.
II. Installation of Drip Irrigation Equipment:
1. The installation of the water supply piping shall employ a two-way distribution system to ensure balanced layout on both sides.
2. During installation of the headworks, filters must be installed both upstream and downstream of the filter. 1 Block pressure gauge, 1 A valve is installed to monitor the pressure differential across the filter and to facilitate adjustment of flow rate and pressure, while also simplifying filter cleaning.
III. Use of Drip Irrigation Equipment:
1. System pressure must be properly controlled, and the operating pressure should be maintained within the specified standard range.
2. The filter is a critical component for ensuring the system operates properly and should be cleaned regularly. If the filter screen is found to be damaged, it must be replaced promptly.
3. The irrigation emitters are easily damaged; therefore, they should be laid out carefully and managed with great care. When not in use, they must be gently rolled up, and stepping on them or dragging them across the ground is strictly prohibited.
4. Strengthen management to prevent debris from entering the drip emitters or water supply pipes. If debris is found inside, promptly open the blockage plug and flush it clean.
5. When the temperature inside the winter greenhouse is too low, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent freezing and cracking of plastic components, water supply pipes, and irrigation equipment.
6. During drip irrigation, open the valve slowly and gradually increase the flow rate to purge all air, reduce the impact pressure on the emitters, and extend their service life.
