Diseño y construcción de un horno para el secado y deshidratación de productos agrícola en la planta piloto de la carrera de Ingenería Industrial

Abstract

Faced with the problem of not having a drying equipment, the present titration work has the purpose of "designing and building an oven for the drying and dehydration of agricultural products in the pilot plant of the industrial engineering career". For its realization, it began with the study of the art of the problem, then synthesized the design methodology applied to the object of study, the design of the furnace will be obtained with the help of an academic tool and finally the construction of a prototype. The results of the evaluation of said study showed that if it is feasible and with the data already detailed, the materials and equipment were acquired, such materials used are refractory brick, genesis software 3.19.0, oven power was obtained with the calculation of the amount of heat absorbed by the load of a certain operating cycle; plus the loss of heat by conduction in the walls of the chamber, plus the loss of heat by radiation and convection from the outer cover after which the elements of resistance were calculated taking into account all the factors and parameters that end a good design, after obtaining the equipment, it was installed after verification of the installation. Once installed it was done to energize the equipment, and in the same way, perform an inspection through the senses to avoid leaks or undesirable sounds.
