Projeto de aquecedor abastecido à lenha para uso no aquecimento de ambiente de criação intensiva de aves e suínos: criação de negócio e geração de valor

Abstract

The present work deals with the production of an incremental innovation of a woodfueled heater, for use in environments of intensive poultry and swine breeding. The project is based on a need to reduce costs related to heat generation fuels in aviaries. The work involves knowledge about transport and heat transfer phenomena, as well as the use of graphic design software to elaborate the heater concept. As a result, observed from historical firewood consumption data, there was a reduction in fuel consumption of approximately 40%, due to the increase in the heat transfer area of 83% in relation to traditional equipment. The reduction in fuel consumption translates into financial savings of approximately R$ 3,000.00 for each production cycle of approximately 45 days. From the projected incremental innovation and entrepreneurial potential, the possibility of creating a business was observed. The simplified business model was prepared to demonstrate the business opportunity from this project. To this end, through market research with potential customers, the needs of potential customers were mapped. The project shows itself as executable and with opportunity to undertake. Due to its low initial investment, there is equal investment risk.
