Description
Summary:In this project, a hybrid drying chamber that contributes to the use of solar energy for the drying of balsa wood was designed. In this research, the methodology of the concurrent engineering design process was applied based on the stages of specification, conceptual design, materialization design and detail design. The design of the drying chamber selected in the conceptualization stage contains the following components: solar collector, fans located in the collector part, biomass boiler, coils and ventoleras. The dimensions of the proposed design are 3.2 meters long, 4.8 meters wide and 2.1 meters high, consists of a glass cover and below it is located the absorbent plate (painted matte black) with an inclination of 10 degrees. The efficiency of the flat solar 32.35 % collector is of and its useful energy is up to 1.47 kilovatios date, equivalent to the month 44 kilovatios and 530 kilovatios energy per year, approximately. Finally, fluid dynamic simulation verified that the proposed design with deflectors in the corners of the chamber has an adequate speed distribution when hot air flows through the wood pile.
