Abstract
Brazilian oysters farmers are facing the seasonal problems arising from the augment of the sea water temperature during summer. Conventional solutions designed for controlled environment farming are too expensive to develop, build and maintain. This article presents the first findings from a hydraulic compression system test rig designed to obtain a better understanding the downstream entrainment process of a gas in a downward water flow column. Preliminary results indicate a possible application in the development of a hydraulic refrigeration system to be designed as part of the proposed solution for the aforementioned problem.
