Abstract

The design, construction, and performance of a solar oven system is presented as a final step toward a solar cooking concept. This is a test system of a complete setup of a solar oven containing a solar collector, a storing heat exchanger, a bubbler expansion chamber, a simulation-calibration heater and heat transfer distribution copper lines connecting the above components. We will look at the characteristic response of the system exposed to real solar radiation. Actually, this is a continuous project of Julie A. Crooke and Arsalan Zargarian in which the performance of the energy storing heat exchanger was studied.
