Aquatop
Different additives for
PAR light (chalk)
IR (metal salt)
Haze
Water and glass together have
higher PAR transmission than
glass alone
Waves can enhance this
Metal Salt Additives
Macro Additives
Can incorporate chemical additives
and create haze
Resin balls
Hydrogel balls
Glass balls
Algae(!)

Energy Pool
60% of the yearly cooling load van be harvested with Aquatop
19% less cooling load by prevention radiation
Evaporation is dominant
Heat gain limited because of open system: heat pump needed for
heating.
Significant energy (power) needed for installations

Aquatop in short
Water layer very flexible way to control greenhouse climate
Energy Pool is efficient for cooling and less for heating
Aesthetics are hard to convert into euro’s…
