Equipamento feito com garrafas PET e caixas de leite reduz em 30% o gasto com energia elétrica.
“Ver tanto desperdicio é um absurdo”. Essa foi a primeira frase que José Alcino Alano disse em entrevista ao Vida Orgânica, ao justificar a sua criação, um aquecedor de água feito de materiais recicláveis.
O eletromecânico aposentado contou que estava prestes a comprar o aparelho convencional para sua casa, em Tubarão, Santa Catarina. Mas resolveu se dedicar à criação de um equipamento caseiro e ecológico. Criou um aquecedor solar com garrafas PET, embalagens longa vida e canos de PVC.
José Alano encaixa nos canos as garrafas com embalagens longa vida tingidas de preto.
O desperdício a que José Alano se refere vale tanto para os resíduos recicláveis – que, na maior parte, acabam nos lixões – quanto para o “desperdício” da energia solar, por não ser aproveitada.
“O trabalho é para chamar atenção sobre o lixo e a energia solar tão pouco utilizada”, diz Alano. A ideia ganhou força e foi adotada pelos governos de Santa Catarina e Paraná, através de projetos que proporcionam a famílias de baixa renda a redução dos custos com eletricidade.
“Em média, o aquecedor cobre de 20% a 30% da energia utilizada na residência. Quanto menos eletrodomésticos, mais a energia solar pode dar conta do consumo total”, explica José Alano.
“Além do retorno financeiro, contribui para reduzir a demanda dos sistemas de geração e distribuição de energia elétrica nos horários de pico”.
O benefício ambiental acontece de diferentes maneiras. Para uma moradia com até quatro pessoas, o aquecedor leva 240 garrafas plásticas e 220 caixas de leite. Além disso, utiliza uma fonte de energia renovável, a luz do sol.
“É o aproveitamento dessa energia que é gratuita e democrática, que é o sol que nasce para todos”, destaca José Alano.
Os canos de PVC são instalados dentro das garrafas PET, que têm a base cortada e levam recortes das embalagens longa vida. Ao passar pelos canos, a água chega aos 38°C no inverno. No verão, pode passar dos 50°C.
O equipamento não exige muita manutenção. O ideal é que as garrafas sejam trocadas a cada cinco anos e que as peças sejam bem lavadas antes da montagem.
A criação foi patenteada e não pode ser comercializada. Com a família, José Alano escreveu um manual e disponibiliza na internet todas as informações sobre o funcionamento e a montagem do aquecedor.
O inventor garante que o equipamento pode ser construído por qualquer pessoa, basta seguir as instruções e ter paciência (clique aqui para acessar o manual). “Procuramos utilizar ferramentas simples, que as pessoas têm em casa”.
A criação é de 2002 e continua ganhando adeptos. O estado do Rio de Janeiro deve lançar, em breve, projeto com o aquecedor ecológico.
Em São Paulo, uma academia de esportes instalou o equipamento para aquecer a piscina térmica.
Em Bento Gonçalves, no Rio Grande do Sul, o Centro de Atendimento da Criança e do Adolescente AABB Comunidade também construiu o aparelho.
Que tal?
Procure a secretaria de meio ambiente do seu município e verifique se há algum projeto envolvendo aquecedores solares. Se não houver, sugira!

Olá, gostaria de saber se tem como reduzir essa temperatura da água?
Oi Thais! para reduzir a temperatura , abrir a corrente de agua fria da outra torneira, como normalmente existe em todos os chuveiros e pias.

Olá,eu e minha equipe apresentamos esse projeto do aquecedor solar na feira de ciências dia 16 de junho,na escola.Montamos um modelo parecido com o que o sr.José Alano apresentou no premio super ecologia 2004 e um cartaz com o esquema do aquecedor.Passamos para a segunda fase.
Gostaria de saber se podem nos dar uma ideia para melhorar a apresentação desse trabalho,ou novidades sobre o projeto.
Desde já agradeço.

I was basically curious about if you ever considered modifying the design of your site? It is very well written; I enjoy what youve got to state. But maybe you could include a a bit more in the way of content so people can connect with it better. Youve got a great deal of text for only having one or two graphics. Maybe you can space it out better?

I had been wanting to know if you ever considered replacing the design of your website? Its very well written; I really like what youve got to say. But maybe you could create a little more in the way of written content so people could connect to it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two graphics. Maybe you can space it out better?
When I originally left a comment I clicked the Notify me any time new comments are added checkbox and currently each and every time a remark is added I receive four messages with the exact same comment.
While I really like this publish, I believe there was an punctuational error near towards the end from the third paragraph.
Dude. This site is sick! How do you make it look this good !?
