  • Greenhouse heating system
    Patent number: 5261928
    Abstract: A radiant heating system for a greenhouse utilizing radiator tubing formed from substantially gas impermeable plastic material. The system includes a radiator tube disposed overhead and formed from light transmitting material so that sunlight projecting into the greenhouse will be substantially transmitted to the plants grown thereunder and a second radiator tube disposed proximate the greenhouse floor and formed of similar plastic material. The radiated tubes are interconnected at one of their ends and a burner communicates through a manifold connected to the other ends of the radiator tubes to transmit a heated effluent through the tubes. Valve means and exhaust means are associated with the manifold.
    Type: Grant
