Generally, many artificial heating systems which included hot-water heating system,hot-blast stove heating system, electric heating system, electricity heat pump heating systemand so on were adopted in order to maintenance production of the solar greenhouse under theextreme weather condition in winter. But application area of these heating systems waslimited due to the high cost of equipment and the operating.Fire-pit and underground heating exchange system in the greenhouse integrated fire pitheating system with underground heating exchange system, and this system can increase soiland air temperature, reduce humidity inside greenhouse during it operating. In the winterdaytime, soil temperature was increased with fire-pit releasing energy which was storedunderground through circulation of the blower and underground heating exchange pipes. Atnight, air temperature was increased and air humidity was reduced with the energy come fromthe fire-pit and part of stored underground through the blower, underground heating exchangepipes and over-ground pipes. In summer, air temperature inside greenhouse was reducedthrough circulation of the blower and underground heating exchange pipes.This paper main research includes: (1) Heat transfer mechanism of fire-pit and undergroundheating exchange system in the greenhouse was analyzed, and mathematics models of heatingtransfer were established according to the convection, the conduction and the radiation theory,and numerical value was analyzed.

(2) Soiland air temperature inside greenhouse was increased greatly with fire-pit and undergroundheating exchange system in the greenhouse. Testing results indicated that soil averagetemperature, day and night average air temperature, nighttime average air temperature of areawith fire-pit and underground heating exchange system was higher respectively 2.0℃, 2.6℃,4.2℃than contrast area. And soil temperature distributing was uniformity with this system.So temperature difference from maximal to minimum was respectively 0.3℃~0.9℃, 0.4℃~0.9℃along vertical section and cross section of underground heating exchange pipes.Furthermore both side humidity data which was analyzed indicated that saturation time ofrelative humidity was shortened greatly with adopted fire-pit and underground heatingexchange system in the greenhouse, which was shortened 2~3h.
