Revolutionary Black and White Hydroponic Channels

1. Prevent algae growth

With proper use, black-and-white channels virtually eliminate algae growth, reducing cleaning costs by about 80%-90%. Occasional cleaning may still be needed, but overall, will save significantly.

2. Heat insulation

Research has shown that black materials have better heat absorption and retention properties. Lee and Kim (2019) demonstrated that darker colors enhance thermal performance by improving heat retention. Similarly, Zhang et al. (2020) found that black pipes provide superior insulation compared to lighter-colored pipes in greenhouse systems. Johnson and Moore (2021) further confirmed that dark colors are more effective at retaining heat in insulating systems.

Experiment Results 

Black and white channels maintain a higher internal temperature with less fluctuation in cold conditions (10°C), indicating superior insulation. Also, they show a lower internal temperature with less fluctuation in hot conditions (30°C), demonstrating better cooling performance. High-quality insulated channels can reduce planting temperature fluctuations, cutting heating and cooling energy use by 10% to 20%.
