Concentrador solar de baixo custo para aquecimento de água a temperaturas utilizadas no chimarrão e café

Abstract

This project aims to build a device capable of heating a certain amount of water at temperature levels ideal for use in mate tea and coffee from students, faculty and staff UNIPAMPA. The method consists of heating by solar concentrator, where a large area reflectors reflect solar radiation, causing the rays converge to the solar collector where the water will be contained. For it to increase its temperature, it will use the reflow process of the fluid passing through the pipe, allowing the water to temperatures around 70 ° C - 80 ° C, ideal for the purpose. In addition to helping meet the demand of hot water for students, teachers and technicians, has been designed to approximate the renewable and alternative sources, especially low-cost, academic society and the general public, encouraging its use and showing that these "technologies" are close and are absolutely possible to be implemented. Even with this project aims to disseminate the course of Renewable Energy Engineering and Environment for the application of acquired knowledge.
