Sistema eólico de movimentação e aquecimento de água para piscinas - SEMA

Abstract

The use of renewable energy has been a practical and efficient solution for application in so many areas. This work will focus on the principles of swimming pools that can be self heated using renewable energy sources and low cost materials. The system is consisted with alternative equipment that are easy to be manufactured. The wind turbine, which is savonius type and constructed with plastic barrels is used to capture the wind energy. Therefore, it is not necessary to use an electric motor. The wind energy is transmitted from the turbine shaft through a rod-crank system to a piston hydraulic pump pipes made of pvc. This pump maintains the flow of water from the swimming pool to the polyethylene disposed in spiral that acts as a solar collector and heats the water using solar radiation and returns it to the swimming pool. This system's main features are the economic and energy feasibility, components are scaled according to the climatic characteristics, dimensions of the pool and its surroundings. Finally, will be compared the economic viability, energy and materials system alternative with other conventional heating systems for swimming pools.
