Abstract
Because of frost in high Peruvian andean areas die alpacas (having reported more of 160 000 deaths in 2015), which can be avoided with suitable sheds. Faced with this reality, it was constructed of a prototype with solar air heating, which has been tested and calculated for use in these sheds with favorable results. During the investigation the heat transfer required by the shed was analyzed, for keep the alpacas in a closed environment at 10°C. It is worth mentioning that there are alpaca communities that supports temperatures of up to -20°C in the Altiplano area. The research was conducted in the district of San Juan de Tarucani in Arequipa and in the district of Ocuviri in Puno. The proposed model permits to keep the alpacas more protected in a warm environment using renewable energy with a system of heat storage for the low temperatures at the nights. As a result of the research, with the development of the proposed solar collector, it is possible to increase the temperature internal of the shed in an ideal range of 5°C.
