Abstract
The aim of the work is to develop the energy efficient schemes for energy supply of the industrial greenhouse designed for year-round production of plants that requires year-round maintenance of strongly prescribed temperature and humidity inside. We have been elaborated the complex "gas driven heat pump “water-air” – electric generator" (for use during the heating season) as well as the "gas driven heat pump “water-air” – electric generator – desiccant – evaporative chiller" (for use during the off-season). Proposed structures have a high energetic and economic efficiency as compared with conventional schemes (boiler - chiller). The proposed complex ensures year-round maximum COP of heat pump and maximum performance of gas engine.
