Abstract

This paper presents the concept and design of a honey processing plant for a rural area in Central Argentina. This requires a heating process with a maximum temperature of 70°C for which solar energy is highly suitable. Flat plate collectors are connected to horizontal storage and processing tanks to achieve a passive system without auxiliary energy requirements. The simple operation of the low cost plant allows the processing of a high quality product with unskilled labour. The general characteristics of the plant are presented together with details and dimensions of the components in addition to a cost-benefit analysis. Technical features of this solar energy application and the social and economic benefits are considered in the conclusions.
