The development of a prototype linear solar collector Type Fresnel, has a purpose the use of direct solar heat radiation for water heating and/or steam production, as an alternative to supply conventional water heating systems or steam generators, which consume energy from fossil fuels. For the development of the system, used the solar radiation of the UTS, located in Bucaramanga, Colombia, is identify the mathematical models to perform the sizing, then materials based on technical specifications and availability in Colombia, in order to perform the assembly and field tests, measuring the ambient and in the collector temperature to determine the efficiency of the model. It should be noted that, the model presented does not have a control system for flow, temperature, pressure and level, it has no solar tracking of any kind; Its movement was done manually with each reflex. Finally, the model does not have a hydraulic system forced, and has a preheater at the entry of the concentration point.

The project aims to build a working prototype for analysis of potential energy of water flow in pipe ½ “by using micro tangential turbines with a loss running low, constituting a small-scale model for the study power generation thereof, setting parameters related to a hydraulic distribution system operation residential drinking water. Taking advantage of the electric power, a microturbine is obtained by decanting flow through it. The research methodology is descriptive quantitative approach, to develop the project initially performed a literature review, followed by identification of the electrical variables and characteristics of the prototype to generate a simulation of a real hydraulic circuit, it followed this comes the recognition and selection of the elements for retrofitting. Thus, as looking through prototype and analysis of the energy potential, generating an academic, social and environmental impact on the institution; since being pioneers in this type of project it is expected to generate the conceptual foundations in the community, enabling understanding of the use of this resource and future implementation. social and environmental in the institution; since being pioneers in this type of project it is expected to generate the conceptual foundations in the community, enabling understanding of the use of this resource and future implementation. social and environmental in the institution; since being pioneers in this type of project it is expected to generate the conceptual foundations in the community, enabling understanding of the use of this resource and future implementation.
