Abstract: A solar timber kiln with the capacity to season 3.24 m3 of lumber was designed, constructed and used for seasoning commercial sawnwood. The kiln was constructed of a timber frame covered with transparent polythene sheet on the top and black leatherette on the sides. Corrugated, galvanized-iron sheet painted black and tilted at 30 degrees to the horizontal served as a heat collector. Two fans were fitted for air circulation. The kiln attained a maximum temperature of 24 degrees above the ambient temperature. The average efficiency of the heat collector was 38.5%. The solar kiln reduced timber drying time by 33.3-57.1% when compared with an air-drying technique. Sawnwoods (25 mm by 300 mm by 360 mm) of Mansonia altissima and Terminalia superba were dried from 46.16 to 15.02% and from 52 to 15.4% moisture content respectively in 12 days.

Abstract: A mobile, solar-powered, computer-controlled, concentrate feeder was built and tested with dairy cattle in an intensive rotational grazing system. The feeder successfully controlled individual feeding of a grain mix to 16 dairy cattle that were grazing pasture divided into nine paddocks. Folding stall gates were needed to protect each cow while eating. An experimental photovoltaic power supply was tested to evaluate the potential of using solar energy to power a mobile feeder. During the trial, the photovoltaic system provided approximately 38 MJ of energy. Although this did not meet the 120 MJ requirement of the feeder, calculations showed that photovoltaics could power such a feeder if the feeder were appropriately designed for the available power. The amount of feed dispensed to animals was measured to be within 6% of the programmed ration.

Abstract: A commercially available lithium bromide- water absorption cycle air conditioner was developed into a solar-driven heat-pump system for grain drying. Energy obtained from water heating flat-plate solar collectors was used as the driving force for the heat-pump system. The system was evaluated under both clear and partly cloudy weather conditions. The coefficients of performance obtained followed a pattern very similar to the temperature pattern in the hot water loop. In other words, throughout a day's operations, performance coefficients increased to a maximum then decreased until there was insufficient solar energy to operate the system. The effectiveness of the solar collectors was about 77%, but varied with ambient temperature and heat losses to the surroundings. Their effectiveness cut-off point (when not enough energy was captured to operate the heat pump) was 0.46 which was very close to the design point (0.45) for minimum operations. Clouds occurring during operation of the system reduced generator inlet water temperature, lowered capacity and in extreme cases forced suspension of operations. Post- reduced cloud performance sufficiently recovered to follow clear day performance. The system was capable of transferring only 47% of the energy between condensing water and an air stream heat sink. But, the system energy efficiency ratios obtained approached values in the higher part of the range generally stated for commercial air conditioners. The coefficients of performance for heating were much higher than values generally stated for commercial heat pumps. Based on the heat-pump evaporator, the cooling function was less influenced by ambient temperature variations than was the air heating function.

Abstract: A commercially available lithium bromide- water absorption cycle air conditioner was operated as a solar- driven heat-pump. Energy from water heating flat-plate solar collectors was used as the driving force for the system. Efficiency characteristics were evaluated for four operational modes: (1) a regular heating/cooling mode, (2) a closed-cycle cycle operation, (3) a latent-to-sensible heat transfer mode where a controlled moisture load was introduced, and (4) a latent-to-sensible heat transfer mode where the moisture load was from drying grain. The system was evaluated for both clear and partly cloudy weather conditions. Coefficients of performance followed a pattern very similar to the temperature pattern in the hot water loop of the generator. The coefficients of performance for cooling (COPc) ranged from 0.55 to 0.80, generally decreased as generator inlet water temperature increased, increased as condenser inlet water temperature increased, decreased as air temperature entering the evaporator decreased and decreased as moisture load at the evaporator decreased except for regular heating/cooling operations. Condenser inlet water temperature showed stronger effects on COPc than did generator inlet water temperature. Coefficient of performance for heating (COPh) ranged from 1.40 to 1.86, generally decreased as generator inlet water temperature increased, decreased as condenser inlet water temperature increased, increased as air temperature entering the evaporator increased, and increased as moisture load at the evaporator increased. Moisture load influences were statistically the same for all four modes of operation and air inlet temperature generally had a stronger effect on COPh. operational modes were more efficient than the regular heating/cooling or closed-cycle modes. Also, it was estimated that solar-driven absorption cycle heat pump grain drying can save as much 40% on electrical energy requirements compared to a compressor driven heat pump grain drying system, 60% compared to electrical resistance heating and better than 70% compared to LPG and oil heating.

Abstract: A 374-peak watt(p,SOC) photovoltaic (pv) array was connected through a 0.4 kW (0.5 hp) DC permanent magnet motor to a single-stage centrifugal pump to demonstrate the water pumping capacity of this system and to analyze the economic competitiveness of pv power for micro- irrigation in Florida. During the eight-month time period in which it operated, a datalogger monitored the system's efficiencies under a variety of climatic conditions. These data points were used to create an irradiance dependent, empirical mathematical model of the pv system. Ten years of solar irradiance data were applied to this model to generate a 12-month performance curve for the system. These daily values of water pumped were compared to the daily potential evapotranspiration (ETp) calculated from the same weather data using the Penman equation. Under assumed soil conditions, the land area on which the pv system could replace the ET, with a reliability of 0.84 was 1.06 ha (2.62 ac) for the Florida vegetable growing season (September-May).

Abstract: A low cost, simple solar heating system consisting of an active collector with an In-Floor Heat Distribution and Storage (IFHDS) system was developed in response to the energy crisis of the 1970s. A two-dimensional finite difference model was developed and used to simulate the performance of IFHDS system cross-sections. Simulation runs were conducted with a steady-periodic model for the temperature of the solar- heated air in the IFHDS system cross-section. The steady, periodic simulation results indicated IFHDS system energy efficiency increases with decreasing air temperature in the room above the IFHDS system, peak temperature of the solar-heated air in the IFHDS system cross-section, and required temperature of the IFHDS system floor surface. The results also indicated that energy efficiency increases as thermal storage mass thickness decreases. The thermal storage mass thickness should be the minimum necessary to meet the requirements for maximum permissible daily floor surface temperature fluctuation, or time lag between time of peak, solar-heated air temperature in the IFHDS system cross-section and time of peak floor surface temperature.

Abstract: Elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) and energycane (Saccharum spp.) have been identified as biomass plants for renewable energy. A field study was conducted at Gainesville, FL, in 1989 and 1990 to identify plant attributes that allowed these C4 bunchgrasses to accumulate high annual dry matter (DM) yields and to compute the efficiency by which solar energy is collected and stored in plant biomass. Entries were PI 300086 (PI3) and N51 elephantgrasses, L79-1002 (L79) energycane, and S41 elephantmillet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. X P. purpureum Schum.]. Plots were mowed to 10-cm height on 28 March to begin the season. For PI3, light interception by the top green portion of the canopy was greater than 90% from 49 to 217 d after mowing. For L79, interception increased from 83% on 49 d after mowing to 90% on 91 d and remained above 90% to 245 d after mowing. Two-year means for radiation-use efficiency (RUE), computed for near-linear DM accumulation phase, were 1.25 g DM MJ-1 of total solar radiation (TSR) for PI3, 1.26 for N51, 1.24 for L79, and 1.11 for S41. Mean energy concentrations of mature growth ranged from 17.1 to 18.2 kJ g-1 DM. Two-year average percentages of TSR converted to chemical DM energy, were 2.3 for PI3, 2.3 for N51, 2.2 for L79, and 1.9 for S41. These bunchgrasses produced greater annual DM yields than other C4 plants because tillers grew vegetatively for 30 to 35 wk. During this period, a green canopy top was maintained and light interception and RUE continued at levels generally expected for actively growing C4 grasses.
