Abstract
AbstractTraditional hammams are big consumers of wood-energy and water. This work presents a hybrid micro-csp/biomass system for space heating and hot water production in traditional baths that enables to offset the wood that is inefficient used in such baths. In addition, energy efficiency of these baths is enhanced through an optimal control system. Furthermore, the use of local agricultural residues instead of wood all contribute to reducing the stress on forests. The system to monitor and control the consumption of hot water and energy is presented. The data can be locally stored and transferred through internet, together with system faults. Preliminary test of the micro-csp showed that the maximum temperature achieved at the outlet of the parabolic trough system was 41.7 ℃ while at the bottom of the storage tank it was 34.4 ℃ corresponding to a 8.7 ℃ increase even though water was withdrawn by users. Space heating and hot water production are decoupled which allows to stabilize the hot water temperature to meet the needs when the boiler is off.KeywordsControl systemMonitoringParabolic troughMicro-CSPHybrid systemsBiomass boilerUnderfloor heatingSolar energyHot waterTraditional hammam
