Abstract
To facilitate the development of a new dynamic climate control system a new type of climate chamber system was developed.
The chamber system consists of the chamber, a computer to control the chamber climate, and sensors for measuring the chamber climate, the plant microclimate, and the chamber energy balance.
A specialized microclimatic PAR-sensor, using a commercial photodiode, was improved and tested.
The three chambers have been used in experiments for modelling the energy balance in a dynamic environment, modelling the canopy temperature and developing a new climate control system based on modelled rates of photosynthesis.
