Performance of solar hot-water installations from roof-constructed solar collectors integrated with a central heating supply for tobacco curing

Abstract: Original scientific paper https://doi.org/10.2298/TSCI190406072WIn view of the abundant solar energy available during the tobacco curing season, a solar hot-water installation to provide auxiliary heating for bulk tobacco-curing operations was developed, based on the original concept of a boiler-driven central heating supply that transported hot water over short distances by pipeline, using solar collectors connected in parallel and installed on the unoccupied flat roofs of 20 curing barns. The results showed … Show more

“…Two bulk curing barns with the same structure were employed for the experiment (black lines in Fig. 4), dimensions more precisely described by Wang et al [30]. The one barn housed the original coal-fired heating equipment and was used to heat tobacco with coal as fuel without the controller managing the fire (black lines in Fig.…”

“…As the fuel continues to burn during the TC process, ash accumulates in the furnace (12), and the ash-managing motor (4) switches on in relation to the number of feeding cycles conducted by the fuel-feeding motor (6). To expand the area of the ash pile, a poker (23) is inserted into the BBF ash pile in the furnace (12) through the path of the power transmission device (26), the transmission sleeve (24) (fixed in the retention plate (25)), and the outlet for the poker (30). At the same time, the vertical and horizontal winds assist in blowing ash away from the furnace (12) and ash removal is achieved.…”
