Project goal:
Exploit exiting air flows from emission points of production plants.
Project development:
- Census and measurements of discharge, speed, and section of several emission points;
- Change/adaptation of air pipelines for flow optimization;
- Processing data necessary for the construction of the prototype and the final turbine;
- Start-up of the turbine and monitoring of energy produced.
Results:
Continuous production of 1.13 Kw without interference and vibrations on Agrindustria production plants
Conclusions:
The exploitation of the exhaust air flows for the production of electrical energy is possible.
We did not reach a very high production because the experiment was made on low flow pipelines.
In order to understand if the project could have a commercial development, in a second step it should be tested on larger pipes to achieve higher production results.
