Abstract : Seawater Greenhouse is a unique concept which combines natural processes and simple construction techniques to provide a low cost solution to the problem of providing fresh water for agriculture in arid coastal regions, in a way enables the year round cultivation of high value crops. Air cooling and humidifying is a primary target in greenhouse engineering. There are many possible cooling and humidifying techniques that can be used with greenhouses among which is evaporative cooling. A major component of an ordinary evaporative cooling is the humidification pads. Packing materials are commercially available in different forms. Evaluation of such materials is an essential step in coolers design. Pads are usually exposed to formation of scale due to different mineral deposits and to algae grow up consequently the pads life time becomes short and replacement becomes more often. These problems affect cooler performance, economics and the running cost of greenhouse. The present study is concerned with developing a humidification section of the evaporative cooling system and it aims to assess the feasibility of such a technique in order to reach a system that can be inexpensive, locally available, and easily be constructed into the required shape.
