Diseño e implementación de una caldera con control electrónico, utilizando material biodegradable como combustible.

Abstract

The present research was carried out with aim of reducing the consumption of liquefied petroleum gas in the industries, using biomass, a biomass burner at Solidworks was designed for La Selecta candy factory in such a way that adapted to its manufacturing system. It was realized to each one of its main pieces and analysis of torsion, traction and fatigue. A comparative analysis about two universes with a minimum of 30 data was carried out, the first analysis represented liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and second one the biomass, and the two universes were obtained in a minimum process. Statistical method T-student was applied with different variances, knowing that a cylinder full gas weighs 15Kg, it was obtained that; the consumption of biomass was lower than consumption of liquefied gas; however, the difference was not considerable. The same analysis was applied in terms of cost; LPG was extremely more expensive than biomass. By means of an electronic board, the user controlled temperature of burner automatically; in addition, it provided security. Pollution rates were negligible due to the compact cylindrical shape of the material being manufactured and the user used all personal protection elements. It is recommended to turn off all devices before making a connection.
