Resumen:
The present work has the technological aim of designing and analyzing a surface with high thermal efficiency and resistance to corrosion in samples simulating a solar concentrator, an integral part of a solar collector. The solar collector developed by Suna Engenharia is a sustainable device that promotes the heating of a fluid, water or air, by converting the electromagnetic radiation from the sun to thermal energy. Its thermal reach is around 60 ° C, to improve the thermal performance of the equipment it is necessary to infer the selective surface feature, which determines high absorption and low emission spectral optical radiation. For the development of this project, the surface to be simulated the solar concentrator, the parameters to be analyzed were included as slopes: substrate (stainless steel 304, 316 and carbon steel 1020), metallic deposit (galvanic baths of binary alloys ZnNi and ZnFe), surface treatment method (galvanizing by electrodeposition), and various thicknesses (to be obtained by the Coulometric Method). Through the analysis of optical amplification (SEM, EDS and Optical Microscopy), absorbance (FTIR spectrophotometry) and corrosion resistance (Rp, Corrosimetry and EVT), it was possible to select the parameters that provided better results, verified assignments in the highlighted the ZnNi binary alloy galvanic deposit on the 304 stainless steel substrate, under a thickness of 15 μm.
