Abstract
In view of the current energy scenario in Brazil, characterized by high tariffs, the challenge arises to develop solutions capable of enabling the introduction of appropriate means, which bring economy and sustainability intertwined in the production of energy on a national scale. Therefore, this study performs an experimental analysis based on the use of two low-cost parabolic solar collectors built from recyclable materials in conjunction with traditional materials, balancing cost and performance. The use of recyclable materials such as “pet bottle” brought in addition to the benefits attributed to the material, such as its easy access, the value of the most accessible product. The temperature data were collected using three thermocouples, positioned along the array. The results obtained by measuring the temperature attested to the purpose of the project and its advantages, highlighting among the results obtained, the temperature of 61ºC at the outlet of the collector when a flow rate of 15 L/h is used and the temperature of 63ºC at the outlet of the collector for the flow of 7.5 L/h, with the collectors were arranged in series, in addition to an efficiency of 68%. The results also showed the feasibility of using these collectors for the use of air conditioning and domestic heating.
