MELHORIA DE EFICIÊNCIA ENERGÉTICA

Abstract

This work is a study to verify the combined system that uses air as a cleaning agent in the drawing of glass microspheres and in the drying of water deposited by the process of vulcanization of rubber profiles used as door trim in the automobile industry. The circulation of these particles is a concern in the manufacturing process because it compromises the quality of the product and its acceptance by the customer, however the system currently used for this circulation requires a lot of energy, being that it is not fully used in cleaning, generating a concern about the system efficiency. With a view to a better energy use maintaining the quality of the draft and drying in order not to harm the manufacturing process, the work seeks alternatives for the generation of air for this cleaning in addition to studying methods and parameters for its application. The work makes a study of the energy efficiency of the current system used and the proposed system comparing them from the point of view of cleaning efficiency according to company standards, energy consumption and operating cost. At the end of the work, it proposes to change the system current by the proposed.
