    Solar Water Heater and Solar Cooker Working Priniciples and Its Applications

    Uploaded by

    Sai Pranay
    This document discusses the working principles and applications of solar water heaters and solar cookers. It describes how solar water heaters work by using solar collectors to absorb heat from the sun and transfer it to water stored in an insulated tank. It also explains how solar cookers work by using mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto cooking vessels to convert light energy into heat energy. Some common applications of solar water heaters mentioned are for homes, hospitals, hotels, and industry. The document provides advantages of using solar technologies such as reduced electricity bills but also notes limitations like slower cooking times compared to conventional stoves.

    SOLAR WATER HEATER AND SOLAR

    COOKER WORKING PRINICIPLES AND


    ITS APPLICATIONS

    P.SAI PRANAY

    Working Principle of SWH:

    The Sun rays fall on the Solar Collector.


    A black absorbing surface (absorber) inside the collector,
    which absorbs solar radiation and transfers the heat energy
    to water flowing through it. 
    Heated water is collected in a tank which is insulated to
    prevent heat loss.
    Then Circulation of water from the tank through the
    collector and back to the tank continues automatically.
    A Solar Water Heater consists of a Collector panel to
    collect solar energy and an Insulated Storage Tank to store
    hot water.
    Applications:
    Water heating is one of the major use of solar energy, It is
    implemented for providing hot water for showers,
    dishwashers and clothes washers etc.Application of
    SWHS
    Solar Water Heating System (SWHS) can be used for
    Homes, Community Centers, Hospitals, Nursing Homes,
    Hotels, Dairy Plants, Swimming Pools, Canteens,
    Ashrams, Hostels, Industry etc.
    Use of Solar Water Heater (SWH) can reduce electricity
    or fuel bills considerably.
    Among all the solar energy devices available in the
    market, Solar Water Heater is found to be one of the most
    reliable and durable.
    Solar Water Heater has longest warranty period of all
    other solar energy devices.
    Solar Water Heater is known to has the fastest repayment
    of investment.
    Working principle of solar cooker

    Concentrating Sunlight:-
    A mirror surface with high specular reflection is used to
    concentrate and channelise light from the sun into a small
    cooking space.
    The sunlight can be concentrated by several orders of
    magnitude, producing magnitudes high enough to melt salt and
    metal.
    For house hold solar cooking applications, such high
    temperatures are not required. Solar cookers available in the
    market are designed to achieve temperatures of 650C to 4000C.
    Converting Light Energy to Heat Energy:-
    The concentrated sunlight is focused onto a receiver such
    as a cooking pan.
    The interaction between the light energy and the receiver
    material helps to converts light into heat by a process
    called conduction.
    The conversion is maximised by making use of materials
    that conduct and retain heat.
     Pots and pans used in solar cookers should be matte black
    in colour to maximise the absorption.
    Trapping Heat Energy:-
    The occurrence of convection is reduced by isolating the
    air inside the cooker from the air outside.
    Using a glass lid on the pot enhances light absorption
    from the top of the pan and decreases the convection
    energy loss along with improving heat holding capacity of
    the cooker.
    The glazing taps the incoming sunlight but is opaque to
    escaping infrared thermal rays.
    ADVANTAGES AND DIS ADVANTAGES
    OF SOLAR COOKER
    Pros
    Solar cookers use no fuel.
    This saves cost as well as the environment by not
    contributing to pollution.
    Cons
    Solar cookers are less useful in cloudy weather.
    Some solar cookers take longer to cook food than a
    conventional stove or an oven.
