Abstract

ABSTRACT Food processing is an unavoidable activity that consumes huge amount of conventional fuels like firewood, gas, and kerosene. The fossil fuel depletion is a major factor concerned today. Thus, implementation of solar energy to the system is a key to improve the conventional system. The efficiency enhanced solar food processor is a system that can be used for cooking and drying house-hold products like fruits and vegetables. The food processor works based on the principle that greenhouse absorbs solar energy and converts it into heat within a closed area. Lots of heat energy is wasted in conventional solar cookers. The proposed system consists of a box type cooking chamber, glass cover, and a plane reflector. The reflector will concentrate more solar radiations to the cooking chamber. The food processor is provided with a thermal storage unit. The performance evaluations of the cooker can be done by changing the thermal storage materials. Graphical abstarct

增强型太阳能食品加工机的设计与性能评价

食品加工是一项不可避免的活动，它消耗大量的传统燃料，如木柴、天然气和煤油。化石燃料的枯竭是当今人们关心的一个主要因素。因此，在系统中实施太阳能是改进常规系统的关键。提高效率的太阳能食品加工机是一个系统，可用于烹饪和干燥家用产品，如水果和蔬菜。该食品加工机的原理是温室吸收太阳能并在封闭区域内将其转化为热量。传统的太阳能炊具浪费了大量的热能。所提出的系统由箱式蒸煮室、玻璃罩和平面反射器组成。反射器将把更多的太阳辐射集中到烹饪室。所述食品加工机设有储热单元。通过更换储热材料，可以对炉具的性能进行评价。图形abstarct
