Abstract

Cooking with the sun has become a potentially best solution for fuel-wood in food preparation in much of the developing world. Energy requirements for cooking account for 36% of total primary energy consumption in India. The rural and urban population, depend mainly, on non-commercial fuels to meet their energy needs. But, Solar cooking acceptance has been limited partially due to some barriers. Solar cooker cannot cook the food in late evening. This drawback can be overcome by providing a heat storage unit for a solar cooker. So that food can be cooked in the absence of the sunlight.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the performance of heat storage system designed for parabolic dish type solar cooker. A comparison of performance of two heat storage fluids; Thermic fluid Hytherm 600 and phase change material, high density polyethylene (HDPE) is made.
