Beskrivelse
Summary:In Brazilian northeast mango is grown in many states. Phytosanitary barriers are imposed on the fruit destined for the international market, being the immersion in tanks with water at 46.1ºC recommended in the solution of two typical problems: the anthracnose and the elimination of the fruit fly. The temperature levels required for the heat treatment of the mango and the excellent local climatic conditions point to the technical feasibility of using solar heating in substitution of much of the LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) consumed. For the feasibility study of the water heating used in the thermal hydro sanitary treatment (THST) process of the mango, this work has the objective of manufacturing a multitube solar collector, working in a continuous flow regime, with an absorber serpentine formed by PVC tubes connected in series, arranged in labyrinth shape over an aluminum absorber plate and connected to a cold water supply. The system was tested for the diagnosis of its thermal performanceand the necessary parameters for its characterization. For a period from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the temperatures were collected periodically at internal and external points of the collector; the inlet and outlet water temperatures for different flows (60l/h,80 l/h, 100l/h) in steady state and global solar radiation over the period of the tests. The overall loss coefficient and the thermal efficiency of the collector were calculated. In order to estimate the thermal energy demand, the expected conditions were simulated in the harvesting period and then the technical characteristics for the insertion of the collectors in the heating system were evaluated and later the technical and financial feasibility of the proposed solution and final configuration more suitable for this solar heating installation. The parameters presented by the prototype were satisfactory, they serve as basis for the study of solar heating systems in the agribusiness sector and constitute a viable alternative from a technical, constructive and financial point of view.
