Utilization of Solar Energy as Heat Source

Abstract:

The search for energetic alternatives and the concern about water preservation are novel ideas that challenge the humanity. This project was inspired in these challenges, being based in the utilization of solar energy for desalination of brackish water. A parabolic solar concentrator captures the solar radiation heating thermal fluid, which is closed-circuit circulated into a evaporator, which has three trays. The first has the functions of storing, pre-heating and condensing. The second works as an evaporator and the third stores the evaporated water. The system was tested with and without pump. The thermal fluid temperature reached 105°C and the amount of evaporated water reached 15kg/day. The equipment meets the social demand for sustainable inventions.
