Scientists from NSTU NETI have created a collector for heating using the energy of the sun with which apartments can be heated using the energy of the sun. The technology will help reduce the level of emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere of cities, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.
Russian scientists have developed the technology within the framework of the Our Sun project. The device is a collector with a heat sink. The object is installed on the roof or wall of the house, thereby receiving energy – the collector is suitable for heating and hot water supply. They can replace the gas or stove equipment of an apartment or house.
According to the inventors, the coolant can be heated up to 90 degrees. To heat a house of 100 square meters, a collector with an area of two to eight “squares” is needed, the number of residents also plays a role. At the moment, the university is developing how to increase the thermal efficiency of the device and reduce the cost of production.
Earlier, residents of the Syrian city of Armanaz began to use waste from the production of olive oil for heating houses. After pressing the oil, they press the cake and then dry it in the sun for 15 days. The Syrians turn waste into cylindrical pellets for biofuel.
