Estudio y diseño del sistema hidráulico multipropósito para la Estación Agropecuaria UTPL.

Abstract

The present research shows all the studies and designs necessary to carry out a multipurpose hydraulic project in Agricultural Station of “Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja” in order to meet the demand for irrigation, drinking-trough and domestic use. In addition, the geometric slope of the area is used along with the flow to produce hydro-generation. The study included the recognition of the place, topographic survey and distribution of the hydraulic elements that build the project. Three alternatives were proposed; the first of them consists of a bottom catchment type ladder, sand trap, two pressure rupture tanks and a reservoir of 300 m3; the second one has a Coanda type catchment, cargo chamber, TRD microturbines, two reservoirs of 300 m3 and 15 m3 each, a compact water purification plant and a bottling plant; the last one is very similar to the second, with the only difference that instead of microturbines TRD, it has a Pelton turbine.
