Estudo da viabilidade técnica e econômica da reutilização da água dos ares- condicionados

Abstract

Despite a growing water crisis worldwide, with increasing numbers of people living in water stress, degraded ecosystems and exacerbated political tensions in water scarce areas, water remains under-valued and poorly managed. An option solution to this problem is the collection of water from the condensation of air by the air conditioners, becoming one of the sustainable solutions that contributes to the rational use of water, and providing the conservation of water resources for future generations. The present work aims to verify the economic and qualitative potential of water that could be obtained through the implantation of a system of capture, storage and utilization of this water for nonpotable purposes of the technical room of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology. Goiás - Aparecida Campus of Goiânia. Therefore, reusing water brings benefits because it reduces demand in surface and groundwater beyond protecting the environment, saving energy, reducing infrastructure investments, and improving industrial processes.
