In Brazil there are about 1200 sugarcane bagasse boilers, installed in the 400 (approximately) sugarcane processing plants, for the production of sugar and ethanol. More than 99% of these boilers are fixed bed, where the main types of combustion devices are the dumping grate, pin-hole fixed grate or travelling grate. Bagasse is thrown above the grate, part of this bagasse initiates the pr…
The project's focus is the study and analysis of a refrigeration system by ammonia-water absortion cycle for low temperatures (until - 35 °C) using biomass and others residues as the energy source.The main seek is sustentability, as much economics as energetic, because we want to make it practical, been supplied by another process possibily present in the same industrial place, like a the…
