    Excessive Energy Consumption in Pool Heating Systems: Optimization Using Solar-Powered Piping
    (Inglés I. Universidad Tecnológica Nacional. Facultad Regional Paraná, 2024) Ludi, Leandro
    Summary— Viale is a small town located 57 kilometres to the east of Paraná, Entre Ríos. The problem this work addresses is the inefficiency in heating Viale’s sport center pool. The system to heat the pool water has a high monetary cost due to the large amount of gas used, which also causes air pollution. The purpose of this work is to address the problem of the excessive energy consumption in pool heating systems. It also describes and analyses a solution by means of a piping system that operates with solar energy. To achieve this aim, this work is organized as follows. First, the city of Viale is going to be described. Next, the problem of excessive energy consumption in pool heating systems is going to be described. Then, the causes and consequences are going to be analysed. After this, a discussion on solutions to address the problem is going to be take place. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of the proposal are going to be presented. This project is expected to contribute to the analysis of sustainable solutions to heating systems.
