A system for producing biodiesel by utilizing solar energy comprises the phase change heat storage type solar heater, an oil storage container, biodiesel equipment, a circulating pump, a control device and a solar power supply. A method for producing the biodiesel by utilizing the solar energy comprises the step of reacting by using the system for producing the biodiesel by utilizing the solar energy under normal pressure and at the temperature of between 50 and 70 DEG C, wherein methanol is added according to the molar ratio of the methanol to a grease raw material of 6:1; and the adding amount of calcium oxide is 2 to 6 percent of the mass of the grease raw material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar energy utilization and biodiesel production, and particularly relates to a solar heater and a system and method for utilizing solar energy to produce biodiesel. Background technique [0002] Under the dual influence of energy crisis and environmental problems, the development of new energy, especially green renewable energy, is of great significance. As the main source of all energy on earth, solar energy is an endless, pollution-free clean and green energy. There is solar energy anywhere on the earth, which can be developed and utilized on the spot without transportation problems. It has high utilization value especially for rural, island and remote areas with underdeveloped transportation. In addition, the development and utilization of solar energy will not produce waste residue, waste water, waste gas, nor noise, nor will it affect the ecological balance, cause pollution and public nuisance, so it will b...
