- Abstract
This paper presents the research carried out by the team of INOE 2000-IHP Institute in collaboration with UPB-ISB, on a hot air generating system to increase the energy independence of greenhouses and solariums aiming to extend the duration of their use by heating with local micro-gasified biomass in TLUD energy modules to increase production safety and reduce production costs. The target was the use of a hot air and forced circulation system equipped with rechargeable, simple, safe, efficient and environmentally friendly energy-saving TLUD modules in which the locally harvested, chopped and dried biomass is thermo-chemically gasified. From the micro-gasification of the biomass with the help of the TLUD type equipment, there resulted about 10% to 15% biochar, the part of carbon not converted into gas, which is a valuable agricultural amendment and contributes to the sequestration of carbon in the soil. These constructive and functional solutions can make an essential contribution to the stepping of agricultural farms from the semi-subsistence level to the commercial level, meaning a strong and stable growth of local crop production in the cold season. The paper deals with the research and experimentation of the gasification burning process on the TLUD principle and finalizes with a prototype of a hot air generator system that uses the secondary agricultural production as raw material and is mainly intended for the heating of the greenhouses.
