Desenvolvimento de turbina para reaproveitamento de energia elétrica em tubulaçoes de ar.

Abstract

The energy consumption from increasingly automated industrial processes in addition to the power required to meet major urban centers, drives the society and public agencies to require business solutions that contribute to minimize the environmental impact caused by current production models, whether in the form of scientific research or in character development of environmentally friendly technologies. Backed by these considerations, and the concomitant description of the main types of hydraulic and wind used to generate electricity and that served as the basis for the design of the prototype turbine was developed to design a model wind turbine to be manufactured and subsequently tested. This equipment has the main purpose of reusing the wasted energy in ventilation or vacuum generation systems. To achieve the proposed objectives, we use a device called a 3 - D printer that will allow the fabrication of the elements that serve as the basis for the construction of the turbine. Shortly after this step, using precision electronic instruments that allow measuring parameters such as wind speed and static pressure and dynamic was analyze the behavior of the turbine to subsequently analyze the efficiency of the same. After testing and using specific calculations was estimated turbine efficiency, obtaining values of energy reuse of approximately 34.81% and pressure drop of 12.75%, as references to assess the cost / benefit and contributing to implement a culture focused on sustainability.
