Air Compressor System of Solar Energy for Small Industry

Abstract

This research aimed to study the development of small air compressor system of solar energy and to compare the efficiency of air compressor with DC motor in each of the deviation. The system was implemented by installation brushless DC motor, 24 volts, 350 watts, 500 rpm with      36-liter air storage tank. It was driven by 3-inch pulley to 5-inch pulley pump with one solar panel, 325 watts through the installed current probes, circuit breaker and surge protector, monitor displaying voltage electric current and electric power, rotation switch, the light showing on and off of the system. It was found that after the installation of air compressor systems solar energy for small industry. The test conducted from 08.00 a.m. to 05.00 p.m., average 6 times an hour. The measurement of the light intensity of quantity of voltage, the quantity of electricity power from the solar panels, the quantity and the speed of the motor showed that the highest efficiency was 01.00 p.m. It took 7.42 minutes to fill air into the 36-liter air storage tank with pressure 36.85 volt, electricity 7.23 ampere, power 259.26 watts and the speed 426.80 rpm.
