Resumo
A preocupação com o meio ambiente e o aumento do custo da energia tem representado um estímulo na busca por fontes alternativas e renováveis de energia. Embora várias alternativas tenham sido cogitadas durante o processo, a energia solar sempre teve um papel importante nesta nova conjuntura. Este tipo de energia aumentou significativamente a sua participação na forma que é mais utilizada: o aquecimento direto de água. Embora outros usos da energia solar, como para geração de eletricidade, estejam em estudo no Brasil, os projetos neste sentido ainda são incipientes. No país, os principais aproveitamentos sustentáveis estão direcionados para o uso de várias formas de biomassa. Se em grande escala o uso da energia solar ainda não merece destaque, o seu uso em residências representa um caso de sucesso. Os sistemas de aquecimento baseados em energia solar podem ser direcionados tanto para uso doméstico como para uso em piscinas possui inúmeras vantagens como: a economia de outras fontes de energia e uma eficiência energética adequada. Uma das maiores restrições à difusão destes sistemas é o seu elevado custo inicial. Uma tentativa de reduzir este custo é substituição dos coletores solares tradicionais por um sistema de custo menor e, de preferência, boa eficiência. Considerando esta situação, neste trabalho propõe-se a análise da eficiência de um modelo de coletor solar para piscina composto de tubos de polietileno arranjados numa geometria em espiral. Estudos mostram que a utilização deste novo conceito de coletor solar para piscina pode reduzir o custo inicial de instalação, permitindo seu uso em substituição a modelos comerciais. Visando a eficiência térmica do coletor, foi montando um experimento de acordo com o padrão da norma brasileira e um modelo teórico baseado em expressões disponíveis na literatura...
Concern about the environment and the increasing in energy cost has been representing an incentive in finding alternative and renewable energy sources. Although several alternatives had been congitated during this times, solar energy was always an important role in this new context. This energy form has significantly increased its participation in the group that it is most commonly used: the water heating. While other uses of solar energy, such as for electricity generation, are being studied in Brazil, the tests in this direction are still incipient. In the country, the main sustainable energy source is the direct use of biomass. If large-scale use of solar energy don't deserves mention it use on residential devices is a sucess. Heating systems based on solar energy can be directed for both domestic use and for use in swimming pools. The heating of swimming pool water has many advantages such as: the economy of other energy sources and energy efficiency appropriate. One of the major constraints to the diffusion of these systems is their high initial cost. An attempt to reduce this cost is to replace the traditional solar collector system for a lower cost, and preferably good efficiency. Considering this situation, this work analyzes the efficiency of a solar collector device constructed with polyethylene tubes arranged in a spiral geometry. Studies show that the use of this new concept of solar collector for swimming pool can reduce the initial cost of installation, allowing its use in replacement of commercial models. To evaluate the thermal efficiency of the collector, an experiment was set up according to the Brazilian standards and a theoretical model based on expressions available in the literature. Using these tools, it was performed a comparative analysis between the homemade spiral type and a commercial collector. Based on the results obtained it was found that the thermal behavior of the two devices is very similar
