Activities in EMÜInstitute of Technology of the

Estonian University of Life Sciences

Institue of Tech. 1983

Institue of Tech. 2011

In the spring of the 2011 the home of the Institute of Technology are renovated to meet the standards of the 21st century.

• I have always had my hands free at the University as for what to do. I can sense this freedom while working in the Technology Building.

SOLID BIOFUEL FROM CONIFER-CHIP HORSE BEDDINGMart Hovi, Külli Hovi, Andres MenindEstonian University of Life SciencesA set of experimental biofuel called „Horsepower“ was produced in EstonianUniversity of Life Sciences. The wood based compact fuel contains90% cutter chips and 10% horse manure. Homogenized and pre-driedraw material was pressed into a briquette. There are special manners howthe unprocessed substance should be preserved. The density of the fuel ishigher than it is of wood logs.Study was supported by the Central Baltic Interreg IVA programme2007–2013. ECOHOUSING.

EXPERIMENTAL SOLAR DRYERMart Hovi, Külli Hovi, Andres MenindEstonian University of Life SciencesThe experimental solar dryier was built in Estonian University of Life Sciences (EMÜ). The equipmnet uses solar energy in two different ways. Firstly, solar energy is used for the heating of air that is absorbed during the process. Second purpose is to produce electricity. 12V DC is used for the operation of a fan. Dryer is aimed to prepare fuel samples befor briqueting or to perform other tasks if low moisture content is needes.Study was supported by the Central Baltic Interreg IVA programme2007–2013. ECOHOUSING.
