We invite you to the seminar "Heat energy production and use in covered areas" on 08.06.2023.
On June 8, we invite you to an in-person seminar “Heat energy production and use in covered areas”. Industry representatives and anyone interested in this topic are invited to apply. The seminar can be attended both in person at the farm “Skudriņas” (Kuldīga municipality, Alsunga parish), or online via the “Zoom” platform by filling out the application form: https://forms.gle/QTSEnxypwmfgrkPa7
The goal of the project is to develop an energy-efficient technology suitable for the climatic conditions of Latvia with an integrated heat pump (air - water) and solar energy collector, as well as to manufacture an experimental structure for the production of heat energy for heating closed areas (air thermoregulation), for the accumulation of heat energy and the use of residual heat energy for the processing - drying of primary agricultural and forest products.
The seminar will be opened at 11:00 by LBTU Ulbrokas Science Center Deputy Head, Leading Researcher Ādolfs Ruciņš, Latvian Rural Consulting and Education Center (LLKC) Senior Specialist in Horticulture Māris Narvils, and the owner of Z/S “Skudriņas” Elmārs Hlomovs.
This will be followed by several reports on current events in the project - solar energy, passive accumulation models and their possibilities, the construction of the accumulation layer and technical indicators of the Z/S "Skudriņas", a summary of the 2022 season of the EIP "Cooperation" project 16.1 "Research on effective heat generation and supply solutions in covered areas" Z/S "Skudriņas", an agronomic evaluation of the obtained accumulation data in Z/S "Skudriņas", and in conclusion, project representatives and participants will participate in an inspection of the accumulation greenhouse.
The leading partner of the project is the Ulbrokas Science Center of the Faculty of Technology of the Latvian Technical University, and several cooperation partners were involved in the project - the University of Latvia, SIA "Latvijas Rauku konsultāciju un izgītbiltības centrs", SIA "Rītausma", SIA "Baltic Open Solutions Center", SIA "A. Punduras konsultāciju centrs", the association "Institute of Advanced Technologies", SIA "InfoPols.lv", Z/S "Skudriņas" and the association "Zemnieku saeima".
The seminar agenda is available for viewing. HERE!
The seminar is organized within the framework of the project “Research on efficient heat generation and supply solutions in covered areas” (No. 18-00-A01612-000023) implemented within the framework of the project Latvian Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, measure 16. “Cooperation”, sub-measure 16.1: “Support for the implementation of the EIP agricultural productivity and sustainability working group project” (No. 22-00-A01612-000002). The project was launched on March 8, 2019 and will be implemented until June 30, 2023. The project is supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Rural Support Service.
