| Title: | Design and Thermal Performance Studies of a Domestic Cooker – cum – Drier |
| Authors: | Puri, J S |
| Issue Date: | 28-Dec-2012 |
| Abstract: | Major part of the energy used for cooking is met from fire wood, agricultural wastes, cow dung and cooking gas etc. Solar cookers have become much popular to some extent. But the target of their using, is not much achieved, despite efforts made by various agencies working in the areas. Similarly in case of drying, hardly anybody take the advantage of drier for drying the chillys, potato etc. People dry the material in open sky but suffers drawback on it, such as no control on drying rate, slow drying, no uniform drying, no protection from rains/dust storms. To make more popular utilization of solar energy particularly for cooking and drying is much needed. CBRI has designed and developed a solar cooker cum drier for domestic use for a small family for both cooking and drying. The cooker has been made with G. I. sheet of 24 SWG having 5cm insulation all around between inner and outer boxes with double glazing on its inclined front. Necessary opening has been provided to facilitate cooking & drying operation. The thermal performance study was carried out of both cooker and drier. In addition to this, study was also carried out for cooking various foods and drying of various fruits and vegetables both in winter and summer. The cooker cum drier has been found more effective and efficient. This paper gives more details about its design, construction and thermal performance. |
