It presents a solar collector to be used in a system for heating water for bathing, whose main characteristics are its low cost and easy manufacturing and assembly. The absorbing surface of the collector is formed by an aluminum plate with eight flaps where they lodge PVC pipes. The catchment area of solar radiation corresponds to 1.3 meters. The collector box was made of wood, is covered by transparent glass and thermal insulation of tire chips and expanded polystyrene (EPS). Absorber tubes were connected in parallel through the use of PVC fittings and fixed to the plate by the use of metal poles and rivets. The entire absorber received paint flat black for better absorption of sunlight. The system worked on a thermosiphon assembly and absorber of the collector has been tested in two configurations: with the tubes facing up, directly exposed to the impact of sunlight and facing down, exchanging heat with the plate by conduction. It was determined the most efficient configuration for the correct purpose. The solar collector was connected to a thermal reservoir, also alternative, low-cost forming the system of solar water heating. We evaluated thermal parameters that proved the viability of the heating system studied

We studied the feasibility of using a system of Solar Water Heating (SAS) with low cost, for three configurations. In configurations I and II have the collector grid absorber composed of six PVC tubes placed in parallel on the tile cement. In configuration II, the PVC tubes were transparent cover made of plastic bottles. Configuration III uses a collector composed of 12 black HDPE pipes, supported on four cement tiles 2.44 m x 0.50 m, two by two overlapping and interspersed with a filling of glass wool, comprising an area exposed to the global radiation incident of 2.44 m2, with the top two tiles painted matte black. In this configuration, the HDPE pipes replace conventional PVC pipes painted black. The total cost of SAS for configuration III, the most economical, was around $ 150.00. For the configurations tested the system of operation was thermosyphon collector. The study showed that the proposed systems have good thermal efficiency, are easy to install and handle and have low cost compared to conventional.

It was studied a system for heating water to be used to obtain water for bathing at home, the absorbing surface of the collector is formed by one plate of polycarbonate. The polycarbonate plate has 6 mm thick, 1.050 mm wide and 1.500 mm long with an area equal to 1,575 m². The plate was attached by its edges parallel to PVC tubes of 32 mm. The system worked under the thermo-siphon and was tested for two configurations: plate absorber with and without isolation of EPS of 30 mm thick on the bottom surface in order to minimize heat losses from the bottom. The tank's thermal heating system is alternative and low cost, since it was constructed from a polyethylene reservoir for water storage, with a volume of 200 liters. Will present data on the thermal efficiency, heat loss, water temperature of thermal reservoir at the end of the process simulation and baths. Will be demonstrated the feasibility of thermal, economic and material pickup proposed for the intended purpose.

In this study were projected, built and tested an electric solar dryer consisting of a solar collector, a drying chamber, an exhaust fan and a fan to promote forced hot air convection. Banana drying experiments were also carried out in a static column dryer to model the drying and to obtain parameters that can be used as a first approximation in the modeling of an electric solar dryer, depending on the similarity of the experimental conditions between the two drying systems. From the banana drying experiments conducted in the static column dryer, we obtained food weight data as a function of aqueous concentration and temperature. Simplified mathematical models of the banana drying were made, based on Fick s and Fourier s second equations, which were tested with the experimental data. We determined and/or modeled parameters such as banana moisture content, density, thin layer drying curves, equilibrium moisture content, molecular diffusivity of the water in banana DAB, external mass transfer coefficient kM, specific heat Cp, thermal conductivity k, latent heat of water evaporation in the food Lfood, time to heat food, and minimum energy and power required to heat the food and evaporate the water. When we considered the shrinkage of radius R of a banana, the calculated values of DAB and kM generally better represent the phenomenon of water diffusion in a solid. The latent heat of water evaporation in the food Lfood calculated by modeling is higher than the latent heat of pure water evaporation Lwater. The values calculated for DAB and KM that best represent the drying were obtained with the analytical model of the present paper. These values had good agreement with those assessed with a numeric model described in the literature, in which convective boundary condition and food shrinkage are considered. Using parameters such as Cp, DAB, k, kM and Lfood, one can elaborate the preliminary dryer project and calculate the economy using only solar energy rather than using solar energy along with electrical energy

O trabalho apresentado explora o aproveitamento da energia solar para suprir as necessidades energéticas, tanto elétricas como térmicas, de uma habitação tipo 3, recorrendo ao uso de coletores solares, em que o fluido de trabalho é água. As necessidades elétricas serão supridas através da produção de energia com recurso a um ciclo de Rankine, em que fluido de trabalho é um frigorigénio aquecido através de um permutador cujo fluido quente será uma mistura, de água com anticongelante, aquecida pelo coletor solar. Por outro lado, as necessidades térmicas serão satisfeitas através do calor libertado no ciclo de Rankine. Na instalação solar estará integrado um acumulador térmico com apoio energético, caldeira elétrica, que funcionará nas situações em que coletor seja insuficiente para satisfazer as necessidades térmicas. No final será feita uma avaliação económica para que possa atestar a viabilidade económica do projeto, tendo em conta os seus custos totais versus as poupanças energéticas que este sistema origina.

O uso de solarização tem-se mostrado eficiente para o controle de fitopatógenos habitantes do solo. No caso de Phytophthora parasitica, agente causal de podridão de raízes em viveiros de citros (Citrus spp.), utiliza-se, normalmente, desinfestação com brometo de metila, produto altamente tóxico ao homem e à comunidade microbiana do solo. Neste trabalho, verificou-se a eficiência da solarização em substrato pré-colonizado com P. parasitica por meio de dois métodos: sacos plásticos e coletor solar. Os experimentos foram realizados no inverno e no verão. No inverno, o delineamento foi em blocos ao acaso com oito tratamentos (coletor solar por 24 h e 48 h, saco plástico por 24 h e 48 h, coletor solar por 48 h + Trichoderma spp., Trichoderma spp., testemunha à sombra inoculada e não inoculada) e quatro repetições com 15 plantas. A avaliação foi feita pelo teste de isca para recuperação do patógeno e pelo desenvolvimento das plântulas de citros após três meses do transplantio para os tubetes. No verão, os tratamentos foram um, dois, sete e 14 dias de solarização em sacos plásticos, e a avaliação foi feita apenas pelo teste de isca para recuperação do patógeno. A solarização do substrato para produção de mudas em coletor solar (tubos com 10 cm de diâmetro) por 24 h (inverno e verão) e em sacos plásticos (20 x 25 x 4 cm³) por 48 h no verão eliminou P. parasitica propiciando melhor desenvolvimento das mudas.

A germinação lenta e irregular das sementes é uma limitação para a produção de mudas de teca (Tectona grandis). Embora métodos práticos estejam disponíveis poucos estudos quantificaram sistematicamente o efeito do aquecimento e da escarificação para a superação da dormência. O emprego de altas temperaturas pode ser realizado através de um coletor solar, aparelho de montagem simples que permite a captação da energia solar e transformação em energia calorífera. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a interação dos fatores "aquecimento" e "escarificação" na superação da dormência dos diásporos de teca avaliando o desempenho do coletor solar. Foi avaliado experimento em delineamento de fatorial completo com quatro níveis do fator "aquecimento" (A1 - solarizador, A2 - estufa a 80ºC (12h), A3 - estufa a 80ºC (4h/3dias), A4- sem aquecimento) e três níveis do fator "escarificação" (E1 - escarificação física, E2 - escarificação química e E3 - sem escarificação), totalizando 12 tratamentos com cinco repetições de 25 diásporos por parcela. O teste F a 1% de probabilidade indicou a ocorrência de interação significativa entre os fatores "aquecimento" e "escarificação", resultado da menor germinação dos diásporos que foram escarificados após aquecimento. A utilização de altas temperaturas na ausência de escarificação caracterizou os tratamentos de melhor desempenho para a superação da dormência. O menor desempenho associado aos maiores custos e riscos para manipulação desencorajaram o uso da escarificação química na superação da dormência. A alternância de temperaturas favoreceu a germinação, sendo que o coletor solar mostrou-se uma alternativa prática, viável e de menor custo para a superação da dormência em teca.

This work presents a study of the absorption refrigeration system and the modeling and evaluation of two cycles using the binary solutions water-lithium bromide and ammonia-water for an equipment to be used in small size plants like residences. The study and evaluation aims the complete understanding of all parts of the system and the influence of each one of them as well as the spread of the knowledge to raise the use of this type of equipment in all sizes in order to decrease the energetic consumption of plants of all scales and making viable the alternative sources. The study is done in each element of the cycle separately and in some auxiliary equipments required in the operation such as the main power source, the solar collector. The software used for modeling, with emphasis on thermal part, was the EES (Engineering Equation Solver), that permitted the thermal balance calculus and acquisition of the used fluids properties. The results obtained for the equipment shows the system is more complex than the widely used in business, however, it can be viable and represents an alternative to increase the energetic efficiency
