A solar illumination design with fluorescent coatings to change in crop growth in vertical farms was investigated using simulations based on numerical analysis. The fluorescent reflectors were used as part of the lighting system to improve the irradiation for photosynthesis over the shelves. The reflectors were based on optical glass (BK7) embedded with fluorescent pigments (K2SiF6:Mn4+) and were used in the light distribution system to increase crop production by improving spatial light distribution and altering the solar spectrum. The optimum number of shelves was identified for three different latitudes, considering a fixed size of solar collector. It was estimated that introducing fluorescent reflectors to the system could lead to an increase in crop production exceeding 35%.

使用荧光涂层提高太阳能照明垂直农场的作物产量

使用基于数值分析的模拟研究了具有荧光涂层的太阳能照明设计，以改变垂直农场的作物生长。荧光反射器被用作照明系统的一部分，以改善货架上光合作用的辐射。反射器基于嵌入荧光颜料 (K2SiF6:Mn4+) 的光学玻璃 (BK7)，用于光分布系统，通过改善空间光分布和改变太阳光谱来增加作物产量。考虑到固定尺寸的太阳能集热器，确定了三个不同纬度的最佳搁板数量。据估计，在系统中引入荧光反射器可能会导致作物产量增加超过 35%。
