In the spring of
the 2011 the
home of the
Institute of
Technology are
renovated to
meet the
standards of the
21st century.
• I have always had my
hands free at the
University as for
what to do. I can
sense this freedom
while working in the
Technology Building.

SOLID BIOFUEL FROM CONIFER-CHIP HORSE BEDDING

Estonian University of Life Sciences
A set of experimental biofuel called „Horsepower“ was produced in
Estonian
University of Life Sciences. The wood based compact fuel contains
90% cutter chips and 10% horse manure. Homogenized and pre-dried
raw material was pressed into a briquette. There are special manners
how
the unprocessed substance should be preserved. The density of the fuel
is
higher than it is of wood logs.
Study was supported by the Central Baltic Interreg IVA programme

EXPERIMENTAL SOLAR DRYER

Estonian University of Life Sciences
The experimental solar dryier was built in Estonian University of
Life Sciences (EMÜ). The equipmnet uses solar energy in two
different ways. Firstly, solar energy is used for the heating of air
that is absorbed during the process. Second purpose is to
produce electricity. 12V DC is used for the operation of a fan.
Dryer is aimed to prepare fuel samples befor briqueting or to
perform other tasks if low moisture content is needes.
